BEWARE: THIS PRACTICE CHARGES TO TRANSFER MEDICAL FILES!!! Additionally, Lehigh Valley Pediatric Associates nurses are unwelcoming and the Admin personnel are snarky and combative.

Thinking about becoming a client of Lehigh Valley Pediatric Associates? Well, get ready to open up that wallet! This practice charges for the smallest bit of paperwork. And if you then decide to leave Lehigh Valley Pediatric Associates, then get ready to pay even more for transferring the medical files because it's their "Standard Office Policy".

Thanks for holding my child's medical file hostage. You were paid for your services then you milk your clients for that same paperwork? How pathetic! Good to know you don't actually care about the welfare of your patients. I'll be sure to pass word about your "Standard Office Policy". I should mention that I called 3 of your competitors, neither charge for the transferring of files because that's simply their "Standard Office Policy". Take a guess where you can stick that flash drive LVPA.

I've been taking my son to LV Pediatrics for 6 years. There have been multiple occasions where I have had to repeat visits because I was told something was viral and it wasn't. Today I have called them at 1 p.m. it is 4:20 and I am still waiting to here back. The nurse practitioner is terrible. Don't go to her. I like Dr. Totliani but rarely do I get to see him it is usually the nurse practitioner. Sometimes the wait time is very long once you get back to the examine room. Dissatified and looking for another doctor.

My child has been a patient here for several years. The doctors are great; scheduling appointments are the trouble. The Allentown office says they are open until 8:00 and the LV Peds website claims they have flexible hours, but this is not really true. If you call for an evening appointment, say 6:00, but they only have current scheduled appointments in their system until say 3:30, they will not let you make a 6:00 appointment until appointment times are filled between 3:30 and 6:00. That is wrong and poor patient care. Many families choose a health care provider based on the fact that evening hours are available. If LV Peds truly is not open until 8:00, then they should not advertise their hours to be as such- it is only fair to families to be able to make an informed choice in choosing a provider which has hours which work for their schedule. If LV Peds would rather close early than to be open until 8:00 pm as they state on their website and see children who are in need of medical attention, no matter how big or small the issue then I think that speaks volumes as to the level of care they are willing to provide.

My appointments don't usually get canceled here, but it's not unheard of either. I never know, it's usually a 50-50 chance. I was treated terribly. I'm absolutely positive that I would have gotten better service anywhere else. The one thing that I really enjoy about this place is their high level of customer service. Their full attention is always on me and they never take personal calls during my appointment. I've been to other places that answer their phone and it just drives me crazy.
