HEARTLAND PEDIATRICS ASSOCIATION OF WAUCHULA,PA

"so far I really enjoy this clinic as a first time dad. When I called in, I got to speak to a nurse immediately who within two minutes consulted with the doctor and got back to me regarding my questions while I waited on hold briefly. The room is clean, the staff is friendly. I truly don’t see what the fuss is about in these reviews. There is sometimes a fair amount of waiting from when you arrive to when you are seen, but that’s typical of a busy clinic in any specialty having formerly worked in gastro myself. The nurses always communicate what is expected of me as a parent and how to best care for my child."

"I took my son here from newborn up until recently.. I have dealt with so much only because of ONE of the providers.. we love Ashley, that’s it. We have had way too many instances where staff is rude to us and I have left once even because we wait TWO HOURS for an appointment. They book so much that they can’t handle it.. we called to have our son seen today as a walk in because he was exposed to RSV, and guess what, he’s got RSV!! ER trip told us this after we were turned away by the staff stating that Manik decided he was done with walk ins for the day because they were overbooked.. AFTER telling us to go ahead and bring him in. I’m so over being treated poorly. We will not be going back here.. much rather drive 30 minutes to an hour to get the proper treatment for my child."

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Manik for 10+ years but you can hardly get an appointment with him. The other “DR” is USELESS and pretty sure they got their degree out of a cereal box! This is the SECOND time CANDICE was ABSOLUTELY Insensitive and SNOBBY when I told tried consulting with her about the options my son had because what she was giving my baby wasnt working. I kindly asked for Dr. Manik and she laughed IN MY face. I have been waiting for +2.5 hours with a sick baby, so yes I got mean quick. I walked out of the room to remove myself from the situation and she continue to follow me to the back where the other nurses were, and acted completely different as if she never laughed and she doesn’t know what my problem was . I was asked to leave and my baby was NOT treated!!! WAIST OF TIME! If I could give NEGATIVE stars I would, I wouldn’t even pick one star but it wouldn’t let me choose anything else. The staff is absolutely rude, The wait is always two hours or more whether you have an appointment or not, The waiting room the bathrooms and the rooms inside are DIRTY!!! Do not recommend EVER AGAIN! Dr. Manik your staff is RUINING what you’ve built over the years !"

"If I could give negative stars I would 5/5 DO NOT RECOMMEND! The Dr's are great, but the girls in the front are absolutely LAZY AND INCOMPETENT! THEIR LAZINESS AND IGNORANCE RUN A CLOSE RACE. Always 2+hr wait, dirty waiting area and rooms & if you need any paperwork done be prepared to wait 3 to 5 business days and expect to have to call back and remind them that you are waiting."

"Don’t recommend at all. Staff is okay, the nurse that checked my son’s temperature was so rough with him, not friendly at all. It looked like she hated her job. The doctor that checked my son, did not even touch him. I asked him questions about my son and all he kept saying was that it was normal. He was more focus on his phone/computer than in giving us his attention. He was so pushy about bringing my son back for a check up. We will not be going back to this place. I rather drive 30 minutes to Avon Park to see my son’s previous doctor, who actually loves kids and her job."
