1 /5 Genna Lee: We took my son Ryder to see Dr. Hardison and we did enjoy her as a physician. You can tell that sheās very knowledgeable and good at what she does. However, our last two experiences have been not so ideal, as to why we will not be returning. All of our childrenās vaccinations have been administered by registered nurses or physicians. My husband asked the doctor if there was a nurse that would be providing the vaccinations. She said there was no nursing staff and that the medical assistant administers the vaccinations. He was very uncomfortable with this, but allowed it with the confidence from the physician. The vaccinations were given way too high on his leg NOT in his muscle. This is why I prefer nurses.. itās a scary thought that this was done incorrectly. We brought Ryder back in for a sick visit on the weekend. He was miserably sick for nearly 2 weeks and recently started developing a fever. Nothing we were doing was working for him. My husband took him to see a nurse practitioner who dismissed our idea of giving him an antibiotic and instead sent him away with a diagnosis of chronic asthma. My son has never been diagnosed with asthma. I have been a registered nurse for nearly 10 years and have been battling sickness on and off with my son since heās been born. I know what he needs and Iām very upset that our recommendations were dismissed so abruptly. When I called the office to speak with the nurse practitioner, a registered nurse spoke to me, telling me why they dismissed the idea of giving him antibiotics. I thought there were no registered nurses at this office? I am very upset with the lack of concern and treatment for my son , this office staff is very disorganized and in my opinion doesnāt understand basic care. We winded up going to another physician later that day and immediately when they assessed him, they told me that he will need antibiotics. 24 hours after antibiotics, my son is almost 100% better. I donāt understand why that was so hard?
