Pediatrics Northwest, P.S. Gig Harbor

"Oh my I read some post on here that are negative. Specially one on Dr. Kraganow witch is furthest from true. DR. Kraganow has been my 16 yr doctor science she was 18 months old. Dr Kraganow has walked through alot with us. Several surgeries and alot illnesses. Dr Kraganow and Ann at front desk and the nursing team is like family to us. Ya it hard to get throw on phone. But that just means they are good and everyone wants them"

"This js mostly a review for a dr there. I decided to trust Dr Edstrom with my newborn. Each week (up until 6 weeks) id tell her he was screaming and in pain from something and described his symptoms. She said it was normal, and after several weeks of me being completely broken down and heartbroken, i asked again and again if theres anything we can do or try. I even specifically asked if my diet is affecting him, perhaps dairy?? (The most common intolerance in babies im learning now) and she scoffed at it saying theres no real evidence it affects the baby…but she prescribed a reflux MEDICATION. Turns out my weeks of pure agony watching my first born new baby in pain and screaming could have been solved if she ever heard of a dairy protein intolerance that’s extremely extremely common. She could have helped us and stopped both our suffering a lot sooner. She needs to get updated on the recent research. Ive had mom friends who said their pediatrician was able to test the poop and confirm theres traces of blood meaning a dairy/food intolerance. Please be weary of this for your newborn and weary of the dr here."

"Dr. Rurik was my pediatrician and my daughters as well (until he retired this Spring). He was always down to earth, well informed, and compassionate. I have seen several of the other doctors in the office as well and have always felt heard and that my daughters needs were well attended to. The office staff is friendly and kind and my interactions with the nurses both over the phone and in person have been great as well. My only complaint has been with wait times when calling in for scheduling sick visits. You do have to be prepared for a long wait time or request a call back."

"My husband and I love Peds NW. Our daughter has been well cared for by Dr. Kregenow and Dr. Chacko. We have chosen an alternative and delayed schedule for injections which they have been respectful and understanding of. Overall a great experience."

"After moving to Gig Harbor from Federal Way my daughter had an urgent matter that needed attention. From the phone call to the doctors visit we were both impressed with the friendly & caring staff. The doctor was sensitive & knowledgeable, She took the time to explained the options of treatment and follow up care. We will defiantly be going back for primary care visits. Thank you!!!"
