I love Arvada Pediatrics! Dr. Katherine Starbuck is great!! She has always been the type of doctor to listen and understand and to assist with what was right for my family. I could go on and on, but just wanted to add my recommendation because I had seen so many negative which I just never exprerienced. I have never had a problem with getting my kids seen at the last minute and also received great help from Sue, the Nurse who helped over the phone when I wasn't sure if I should go in or not. : )

Excessive billing beware – When we switched from one pediatrician to another Dr Kathryn Starbuck asked if we could come in early so we did. They went ahead and billed another visit although they requested we come in early. When I received the bill for this I spoke to Terry in the billing department she thought it was an error because it was billed on the same day as a well visit for which we do not pay copays for. I spoke to the office manager who would not budge either on this and stated that I could dispute it but the insu... read more

Not worthy of your child – You would think that your pediatrician would do what you think is best for your child. Not this place I have a special needs child and they are obsessed with the things we have no control over. My son has a G-tube and they wanted him to have surgery redone so he would not throw up, even after a letter from the surgeon that said it was not needed Dr Michael Starbuck would not let it go. He also had me sign a waiver because I don

dissapointing experience – I am expecting a new bundle of joy and will obviously need a doc for her. I called was put on hold and when I finally spoked to a person I asked if it was possible to schedule a meeting with any of the doctors. The very RUDE receptionist cut me off and told me that they "just don't do that here." Are you kidding? What kind of response is that to have? So, I will not even consider useing a place that wont meet with me first and after speaking with the reciptionist I am glad I wont be using them. I c... read more

can't even get in the door – I've spent the last hour trying to get a meet-and-greet appointment for my 11 month old son. We're looking for a new pediatrician because our current one missed a diagnosis and we're dealing with the consequences. Naturally, I'd like to meet a doctor before I take the time to transfer records to a new doc. North office of Arvada Pediatrics doesn't allow for that, at all! They told to "read the descriptions on the website" of the doctors. Really? That's not anywhere near the same as meeting someon... read more

Great experience – I have been with Arvada Ped for 10 years and have been so happy. Our doctor is Dr. Noell Brucker and we LOVE her! She is very understanding, thorough and kind. We also love the nurses that you can call to ask questions to. They have saved us many trips into the doctor. I highly recommend this office, especially Dr. Brucker!

Bad Experience --- Brought up Sex Topics to my 5 year old – After a close to 2 hour wellness visit for my 5 year old. The Dr. (not our normal one) brought up the topic of Masterb... (you fill in the rest) topic to my son along with what happens when someone other than your parents get into your underwear etc. I was stunned and still am by this and that a Dr brought this up to my 5 year old. If I would have had my brains about me I would have got up and left. We are changing offices but just want to make all parents aware... ... read more

Great doctors, great staff – I have 8 children and three with special medical needs. We visit the doctor frequently and have been impressed since 2002. Dr. Brucker is patient and kind. She takes it upon herself to research new studies and medications. Dr. Brucker calls to review information with me that has come in from my children's specialist. The office staff knows all my children by name and the nurses make each of my kids comfortable and relaxed. Of course there are wait times in the office and sometimes wait times on t... read more

Zero stars – I am new to the area and I have 3 kiddos so naturaly I needed to find a doc for them. So I started to search the net to find someone near our house, I came across Arvada Pediatric Associates North and despite some of the reviews being VERY negative I thought I would give them a call anyways. WOW was I wrong, the first time I called I was placed on hold in a EXTREMELY rude and abrupt maner for 5 min and 48 sec I didnt even get a chance to get a word in so I hung up and waited 5 or 6 min and I called back and I re... read more
