The wait time was HORRIBLE. The appointment time was 3pm. We did not see a medical student until 3:50pm. We did not see the doctor until 4:15pm. There was ZERO acknowledgment of being extremely behind. There was zero communication about delays. I am extremely unhappy and dissatisfied with how long we had to wait to see the doctor. The worst part is the time in which spent with the doctor was a total of 15 minutes, so we waited an hour and 15 minutes past the appointment time to only spent 15 minutes with the doctor. Very disappointing.
Wonderful experience. Children's staff are kind and compassionate from the moment I walk into the facility. Dr Holland listened to me, acknowledged my concerns, and I felt heard and understood. Thank you to everyone.
Well, nothing, just to thank you for all the services that they provide us. Thank you very much.
We live the Mequon clinic and Dr. Holland and her staff are fantastic
He listened to me and answered all my questions
Excellent.
Great 1st visit
Appointment was timely, everyone was kind and helpful.
The attention they gave me at Children's was very good. The nurses, the receptionists, the female doctor, not to mention, very good attention. I would recommend it a hundred percent, for the attention they always have had with my son, and the attention the interpreters give very good also. The nurses are watchful there of one and all. I would recommend it a hundred percent.
Good experience dr, Holland listen to us. And explain very abut our concerns
Dr Holland is wonderful with both our children and us as parents. So very thankful to have her as part of our children's care team, as she is incredibly knowledgeable and kind.
Well, thank you for being attentive and attending us in the best way
Beth Ann (care manager for PHACE at vascular anomaly) was above and beyond excellent. She went to the extent of walking to the Herma Heart Center and walking the route from there to the dermatology clinic...she then emailed me the details of that route. She also worked very hard to coordinate several visits in a few days- since we live 7 hours away.
Dr. Holland is wonderful, and she did great with my very busy 2 year old! Can't say enough great things about her!
Great first experience for my daughter and I within the Children's Wisconsin system. Everyone we encountered was very cheerful, polite, and helpful. We very much enjoyed our visit and are grateful fir the helpful advice about our daughter that we received.
Everything was great
The doctor was nonetheless amazing and made me feel so comfortable and confident with my child's needs and thorough conversation.
Dr. Holland is an exceptional doctor. She's empathic, approachable, and extremely smart.
Mequon Children's is over the top amazing!! The front desk is so friendly and welcoming. My son and I alway love to checkin with whom ever is there. Our Dermatologist and her staff is also amazing. So welcoming and helpful and just a kind people. I would recommend anyone to go there!
The provider was 40-45 minutes late coming into the appointment. I felt that inconsiderate and she didn't apologize for being late. I was getting ready to leave but she entered the room. The provider wouldn't allow the patient to be 40-45 minutes late and still be seen!!!!
MD is ALWAYS LATE ... by 45 mins to an hour in all the appts that we had with her
Dr. Holland and her support team are very professional, very considerate. Everything is always done appropriately and well and with the highest respect. There is nothing else that is needed. Nothing is needed to be corrected. The service there is immaculate. Dr. Holland is the best.
Dr. Holland is fantastic. However, access to the dermatology clinic in general is very challenging given long wait times for appointments. It would be great to have more providers such that access would be more readily available.
The doctor and nurse are really nice and supportive.
Waiting 30+ min for the doctor with a toddler who doesn't want to be there is challenging
Children's is wonderful. Keep it up.
Hey there, I just want to say Dr. Holland is an awesome doctor. She really connects well with my daughter and then really seems to treat her holistically, not just the dermatology, but everything. And I just really appreciate her and all she's done. If you have any additional questions, please give me a call.
Best medical experience I've had in the two years of my child's life. Dr Holland and her team were amazing.
He is a better specialist, he carefully examined my daughter and decided on the medication that can help her, compared to the previous specialist at the Wisconsin Street hospital who did not prescribe anything and did not even check her.
Great experience. Timely visit at closer to home location.
At the end of the visit everything went well
I had a wonderful experience at the clinic. I'm already seeing raving results with my child's skin. I would recommend her to anyone. I can't wait to follow up to show her everything that is just working out. We had been dealing with her dermatitis since she was three months old. She's now one and it's finally getting resolved, and I just really appreciate the service.
They were all very helpful and nice. And they were very patient with our son. And didn't force anything they took their time with him. Plus when we ask questions they all took time to listen and get us answers back. Also very glad the construction is done. It made it ALOT nicer to come down.
although our original appt was 4/15, we were notified of an earlier appt. i was so relieved to see the doctor and not wait another month. doctor was great and very helpful! grateful to find her!
We love our CHW!! They are the best, always.
I wanted to share my experience, though I'm not accustomed to leaving reviews. However, I felt compelled to express my perspective as a mother. On the day of my child's appointment, our morning began at 5:30 AM, ensuring our kids were fed, dressed, and our eldest was safely at our neighbor's to not miss school. Despite living nearly two hours away from the children's hospital, we aimed for an early appointment to return home in time for our eldest's school dismissal. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly, and navigating the hospital was seamless. The specialist and her team were welcoming, and we anticipated answers regarding a lump on my child's neck. However, our hopes were dashed when it became apparent that the radiologist had not reviewed the ultrasounds sent over a week prior. Learning that the usual radiologist was on maternity leave, we were left with uncertainty and a promise of delayed results. While we're grateful the lump isn't malignant, the experience left us unsettled, especially considering the sacrifices made for the appointment. I want to emphasize that this issue is not reflective of the doctor or her staff, who were compassionate throughout. My intention in sharing this review is to offer a fresh perspective, hoping it sparks improvements for others who may not have the same proximity or flexibility in their circumstances.
I would have felt better if my child's consent to having a resident had been requested. Instead we were informed that the resident will be coming in first. My child is autistic, as am I, so if we're not up to having more than the provider, we need to be permitted to refuse and NOT in front of the student or resident in question. That's putting us on the spot and makes it difficult to speak up for our needs. Please be more cognizant of such things.
I went to the wrong floor but the clinic assistant hunted us down and was very kind even though we likely caused her to fall behind since it took awhile to find us! The Dr. was caring and made my daughter very comfortable with explaining everything she was going to look at and examine. The nurse noticed she was nervous at the start and was able to distract her with relatable conversation while the Dr quickly and efficiently froze off the area of concern. We would absolutely recommend!
Have more bilingual staff
The Dr was very kind and answered all my concerns.
Thank you for the time and efforts that all your staff does to help make the appointment comfortable and relaxed.
Dr. Holland is amazing!! She connects really well with my daughter. Dr. Holland see's the whole patient not only physical but mental as well.
Dr. Holland and her staff were outstanding during the entire course of our daughters treatments. She was personable, made your family feel as though they were top priority during every appointment, and was extremely thorough about all of her treatment, diagnosis, and the process in which she used to relay information. If we had any questions, they were knowledgeable and took the time to explain it, ensuring you understood. We felt beyond confident and relieved to have been provided such good care for our child and are really grateful for the progress she has made during her visits.
I can't say enough good things about our experiences with Dr Holland. She has made the process and understanding of my son's new diagnosis more manageable not only for me as his Mom but for him as well!
Dr. Holland is absolutely amazing and so nice. Wait times to see her are a little long and difficult when coming with a baby.
I love the location. I love the doctor. She is real kind and she explains everything by detail to my daughter. And I enjoy being in the facility. Everybody is real nice and everything was just perfect. I just worry that my daughter, pretty soon she will be 18 and I wish she would not turn 18 that fast, that way she doesn't have to leave her doctors and I love Children clinics. Thank you.
Dr. Holland is very compassionate and explains various options and how we could best make that decision and inform her after the appointment. Thank you.
I was actually late for my appointment and they were able to squeeze us in since we live an hour away. The front desk staff were courteous and kind, the nursing staff as well as the doctors and residents were extremely kind and went above and beyond answering any questions we had. Thank you so much for taking care of our babe, it means a lot to us.
I love that, the provider explained everything and really cared about my daughter and her health.
I'm very happy the resident went to double check with the doctor and was humble when the doctor came back with another recommendation. The resident and doctor were very kind and knowledgeable.
we love Dr. Holland
Dr. Holland was fantastic... my son is one and she made him giggle, smile, and laugh, and gave him breaks when needed. It was a great visit with very clear information given. We look forward to continue to work with Dr. Holland and her team!
The doctor was very personable and interacted well with our son. She was very easy to communicate with too.
