Gonna miss Dr.Hammad
Excellent doctor my grandkids has been in his care since they were born and they are teens now
Dr Platner has been seeing my 3 children since birth and he is the best! My teenage daughter trusts him and that’s a big plus for the both of us!
My munchkins have been going here for years, always have a great experience with the staff. They treat my munchkins like family. From the time we walk into the office everyone has an smile on their faces and knows each child's name. Love them
Good
I attended as a kid and now my son goes here. They have always taken good care of me and now doing the same for my son and many family members.
This was my doctor’s office ever since I was 6. I am 36 years old and I have always love them as a child and now my children love them. This is the best doctor’s office…. HANDS DOWN! I trust them with my life! My children nieces and nephews only go to this office. You want someone you can trust that will put your child’s best interests at heart? This is the place for you! They also advocate for parents! Looooooove them! Especially the male nurse, Tracy, and the other nurse who gives shots. They are the SUPER TEAM. The are MY FAMILY!!!
Dr. Platner has been my children's doctor since 1998. I trust him and his staff. They are the absolute best! I highly recommend.
Dr. Platner is one of the best pediatricians and the staff/team at Old Fourth Ward Pediatrics are always pleasant. The wait time is never too long and I love how they recently changed to signing in electronically from your phone which is so convenient for everyone I’m sure. I came to this particular clinic as a child myself so it’s only right I brought my very own children to the best as well.
My son has been a patient there since he was a newborn. He is now sixteen years old. Outstanding staff who genuinely cares about the kids there. They have been open for decades.
I am happy with the care received and trust this practice and it's doctors. Very competent, empathetic and listen to my concerns. The wait time is usually short to reasonable. I always get a same day or at worst next day appointment if my child is sick.
Love seeing the smiling faces
.
We love Dr. Platner! His philosophy of looking at the big picture and making medical recommendations based from research is something we really appreciate. He takes the time to answer our questions and we never feel rushed. The nurses and office staff are so kind, too!
I have 6 kids oldest is 20 all my kids been going here since birth, that there alone speaks for itself, I'm very satisfied with their customer service, they are like family never a bad experience. They love the kids and they are good at what they do
My child has been under Dr. Platner's care for sixteen years. We are very satisfied. The staff have always been very nice and helpful. The only negative is that they aren't as accommodating in the schedule. For instance, they use to allow me a same day visit if my child was sick, and it takes longer to get an appointment. However, with our recent visits, the time I wait in the waiting room has improved (probably for it). With that said, I would not change because my child and I like Dr. Platner.
6 month check up, efficient and caring service as always
Nice women
Front desk staff were so kind and professional!
Yes as always the staff and doctors go above and beyond. Ms. Tracie is the absolute best and the male technician always is a definite plus.
I’ve been bringing my kids here for years and I specifically ask for Dr. P he is great.
Amazing Dr. Took his time to explain to me what was going on and reassured me not to be worried.
I love the staff they are so friendly and helpful
Dr. Wilkemeyer was so through.
It was alright.

Dr Platner was my pediatrician and now he is my baby pediatrician. He is phenomenal along with everyone on staff.
Service was great!
