Pediatric Associates of Hampton & Portsmouth

"I am continuously amazed with this office. We have a 6 year old who is terrified of shots and I gave the office a heads up. They came up with a plan and 3 nurses took the best care of her. They were kind, quick and my daughter called them “wizards”. What has been a traumatic experience in the past went smoothly and tear free."

"I have tried to stick it out with the office for 4 years because Dr. Benton is incredible but I have had it. The billing department has made several errors, most of the front desk are rude and triage nurses are dismissive and do not wish to hear the concerns of a parent. There are no follow ups, you have to ask to meet with a doctor otherwise you will have a nurse. You cannot schedule out an appointment six months in advance. The sick visits are not thorough at all. You ask for a nurse to call back regarding a concern, sometimes they will, sometimes they don’t. I’m so sad to leave such a talented and caring doctor. It is such a shame that these issues clearly have been going on for years and there has been no adjustments. I sympathize with the nature of the health care system and how overworked medical staff and professionals are, but I truly wish there was some level of compassion given by the staff to parents who are concerned about their children. The last thing any parent, let alone a special needs parent needs when there child is sick is to be spoken down to, dismissed and ignored."

"my two daughters has been going to this locations since they were born. I havent had any issues with the staff or doctor. We are fairly headstrong on what we want to give or not give our kids and they respect our decisions. over all kids also are not troubled by anyone they meet here. So i would say my overall experience is great. (we go to the Portsmouth branch)"

"We have been going to this practice since 1992! They are fantastic and I can’t recommend the entire staff enough! From front office, back office, nurses, Doctors...everyone has been respectful and professional and caring! I have trusted them with all 3 of my children! No matter the issue, they have been amazing! My youngest child is Transgender...this office has listened and learned and been so supportive of my child and our family! I have zero hesitation recommending them-most of the staff have been with this practice as long as we’ve been coming..or shortly after! You don’t find that these days!!! They obviously love what they do and where they work and who they work with!!"

"I cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice. I currently have five children enrolled as patients, some of whom we have adopted, and have come from complex social situations. The office staff has always been professional. Remember, this is a busy crucial office, the office staff is doing their best to be thorough and meets the needs of multiple patients at a time. Sometimes they are brief, but certainly not unprofessional. Dr. Turner is the definition of a grandfatherly and caring pediatrician from a lost era. He has taken a tremendous amount of time to understand the needs of my children. Vaccines are given swiftly, and with explanation...then often followed up with popsicles. They even offer walk in hours. I really couldn’t ask for more. Not to mention they have a really fabulous fish tank that is legendary!"
