Bon Secours Pediatrics of Mechanicsville

"My wife took the kids for their annual check up. They have been there for almost 2 hours. That's absolutely ridiculous. It seems like a common theme this past year based off other reviews."

"I would give a zero star if I could. I sent a message to the nurse asking a question they replied back and said to come in offered a 2:10 appointment I confirmed they confirmed I showed up on time to the appointment and they informed me they sent a message canceling the 2:10 appointment and changed it to 9:50 which I never received I tried to look up the conversation on MyChart bc I never got the notification and they had taken the conversation off MyChart completely meanwhile my daughter never got seen."

"I have brought all 3 of my children here, after being born at St Mary’s Bon Secours hospital. The transition is smooth if you’re considering this office for your new baby. We have seen Dr Schey as well as LaRosa (She is also lactation consultant!). They are wonderful, listen to all concerns and take your child’s health very seriously. The MA we usually see is also AMAZING. She is always so helpful and sweet with my babies! I am very sad that Bon Secours no longer accepts our insurance, and I now have to search for a new office."

"I normally love this office. My 1 year old son sees Dr. Schey and he’s wonderful. We went yesterday to see Dr. Akins for a sick child appt. He had a fever and all the signs of strep, and had been exposed to strep last week. They told me his test was negative and to give Tylenol and he’ll be fine. She was nice but did not take my concerns as serious as I believe she should have and made me feel sort of like I was freaking out for nothing. I KNEW my son was way sicker than they led me to believe, so I took him to an urgent care this morning. He proceeded to test positive for flu, strep AND covid. The reason I am leaving this review is to let other parents know to always advocate for your child even if the doctors aren’t in the same boat as you."

"Scheduling an appointment is easy. Offices are clean. Nurses are great. Dr Garabedian is a wonderful pediatrician, my kids adore him. He is patient, kind, has great bedside manners and is very loving and understanding with little ones and big kids too. We have known him since 2016 and he is absolutely the best!"
