Maryville Pediatrics

"We weee hesitant to bring our newborn and preteen here at first due to the horrendous reviews. This just proves that some people can never be pleased because we LOVE this group.I’m a pediatric nurse and know a lot about medicine and children so I have an advantage of knowing what exactly to look for in medical field regarding my children. And they have never given me a reason to worry. Everyone is sweet and we saw a few docs and NPs and loved them all but Dr. Heather Wight is a godsend to this field. She is beyond wonderful and we trust her, and trust is a lot for me. And it’s hard to come by. Thank you, Dr. Wight!"

"I simply do not understand how people can be so nasty! Especially in the health care profession! Do employees think they don't have to be responsible for their own selves? Can't be bothered to Actually put Trash IN the trash can. Wouldn't think of cleaning up after their patient pees in the floor! Leave food and crumbs and garbage wherever because someone else is sure to clean it up! But have mercy if there are fingerprints on the glass. Leave nasty feminine personal yuck exposed in bathroom cause why not!! There is SOOOO MUCH more but I just can't. It's ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS that grown adults think they don't have to be courteous to other professions.SMH"

"Our 3 children were patients here until we moved to North Carolina at the end of 2022. We always loved MP and all the doctors there. It wasn’t until we had to find a new pediatrician that we truly realized how much we missed MP! More specifically, Dr. Wight is truly one of a kind. She trusts you as a parent (which we’re finding to be rare these days) and will take your intuition seriously. She’s kind, patient and incredibly intelligent. I can’t recommend this practice enough!!"

"This is not something I normally would say. We love most of the doctors at Maryville Pediatrics as well as the nurses. My sister (33) and myself (27) came there as children on up until we were 18+. So we of course felt more than comfortable bringing our children to them! My nephew who is 6 years old was seen by Heather Snow yesterday. She was very rude to my nephew who is in the 99th percentile for his height at 52 inches tall (about 4’4”)and the 51st percentile for his weight at 113 lbs. He is super tall for his age and weighs more than your average 6 year old. Anyway, the first thing is my nephew is afraid of shots, like most children. So when she had him lay down (without telling him what she was doing), and had my sister hold down his legs, he automatically thought he was getting a shot and started kicking. Heather said “Your mom might tolerate that, but I don’t.” Then she started talking about how that he would have to go to a nutritionist because of his weight. She said he could have one serving of potato chips and couldn’t have potatoes and could only drink lowfat milk and water. And got rough with him by yanking on him when she was trying to get him to stand up straight to check his alignment for his back. When my sister was asked at the desk by the nice lady if it mattered which doctor he saw at his next appointment in 3 months, my sister said it didn’t. Then Miss Snow chimed in with an attitude and rude remark that “YES he will be having ME.” She also told my sister that if he gained anymore weight in 3 months that he WOULD be seeing a nutritionist after my sister asked if she could try to help him first. This woman made a 6 year old boy cry who doesn’t understand why he is being treated differently than any other child. Now he’s asking my sister if he can have certain foods and is worried about it. This is a child who is very active and barely ever eats any sweets. Like his dad, he is naturally tall and bigger. Needless to say, my mother went back into the doctor’s office and helped change the doctor for his next appointment. My sister, my nephew, and my mom all left very upset. My nephew, my 3 nieces, my daughter, nor the baby I have on the way will see this woman again. Maryville Pediatrics should be ashamed to have this lady work at their establishment."

"The doctors at Maryville Pediatrics are wonderful. My children have gone to this practice since birth. The reason for a 2 star is I requested medical records for my older daughter for personal use we didn’t transfer out. My daughter ended up getting sick yesterday and I made an appointment and made sure we were good to be seen since my daughter signed the medical records release for personal use was told it would not be a problem. My mother in law took my older daughter to the doctor called when she got there and was informed that the appointment had been canceled that she is no longer a patient this is unacceptable I didn’t get a phone call prior to the appointment being canceled and still have a sick daughter. Like I said the doctors are wonderful. I just hope this doesn’t happen to anyone else."
