Pediatric Health Care Alliance, P.A.

According to a recent study of Google reviews by the senior editor of the Journal of Urgent Care Medicine:

“Pediatric visits carry outsized emotional stakes. Reviews mentioning a child average 4.09 stars — meaningfully below the 4.33 overall average. Among 1-star reviews, 21% involve a pediatric visit, compared to 14% of 5-star reviews. Parents arrive with heightened anxiety and lower tolerance for friction. A feverish toddler and a 2-hour wait is a review waiting to be written.”

Pediatric Health Care Alliance (PHCA) averages a 4.9/5.0 satisfaction rating across all visits (urgent care, daytime sick, and preventive well) based on over 26,000 third-party-verified reviews. We consistently beat the national averages for patient satisfaction by 25%, and no pediatric primary care practice has as robust a patient satisfaction tracking culture as we do.

PHCA is Tampa Bay’s pediatric medical home.

The findings suggest that pediatricians may need to expand counseling beyond food introduction to include a broader focus on environmental hazards.
