1 /5 Christine Leicht: Dr. Patrick Hunter is the worst pediatrician I have come across. We just moved here from out of state, and had a pending ortho and GI consult for my son from our previous pediatrician. He initially refused to do either. I complained to the office manager, because my son is less than 3% in height and weight, and his birth mom admitted to consuming alcohol while pregnant with him. Dr Hunter stated “he just has functional diarrhea. All GI is going to do is stick a scope up his butt and down his throat and tell you nothing is wrong.” Mind you, this is a medical professional. GI ordered tests at the referral and 4/5 tests were very abnormal, requiring further investigation. The advice that Dr Hunter gave me about behavioral issues with my child was borderline abusive, and definitely neglectful. We still have yet to hear about the ortho referral, which was also denied by doctor Hunter and had to go thru the office manager. Not to mention, he did not look at any of my child’s medical history before the appointment, and then claimed “he didn’t know us well enough” to send out referrals. I have changed pediatricians on recommendation of of the GI specialist to a doctor that can meet my child’s needs. Very disappointed. If you have children with special needs, Dr. Hunter is not the doctor for your child.
