Preston Ridge Pediatric Associates PC

I love it here. We use dr Clements and she is always so normal and easy to talk to. She also has small kids so she understands other parents. Wait time is always minimal and no problem ever getting a same day appt

We are very happy with the service provided by the nurses and Dr. Clements at Preston Ridge. We have an almost 3 yr old and a 2 month old and always feel like the best care is provided by these wonderful people!

We’ve been to this pediatric office twice now (we moved when my son was 18 months old). Other reviewers recommended Dr. Papciak, but he is no longer with the practice. Our first visit was just OK… we went on a Monday morning for flu shot and to get mysterious bug bites diagnosed. We saw Dr. Murad and were less than impressed. Knowledgeable, yes, but didn’t seem to have much time for us or patience for our questions and concerns. Decided to give the practice another shot and saw DR. JUSTER yesterday. She was so fabulous!!! My son was shy at first, but she was great with him and he warmed up very quickly to her. Biggest plus is that she’s very thorough… she said she’s a worry wart and won’t sleep if she realized she forgot to cover something. She welcomed questions and I didn’t feel like she was trying to rush us out of the office. She brought up a concern which no other doctor has before, but I was mainly impressed with her thoroughness and the time she devoted to us and our questions. And she talked more about food and nutrition than previous doctors have took, which is appreciated as a mother of a sometimes picky toddler!
Summary:
1) Avoid Monday morning appointments if possible (busy with extra sick patients from weekend)
2) See Dr. Juster!
3) No food or drink in the office, so make sure your little ones are well fed and watered before you arrive.

We switched to this office when we had a few negative experiences at my sons former pediatrician, and I am happy that we did. We normally see Dr. Murad, and she is very straight to the point and knowledgeable. She was able to diagnose my son with Pertussis, after months of other doctors giving us the run around about allergies etc. The office is clean, has a sick and well waiting room, and they always have a kids movie playing which is great for my antsy toddler.

My children have been coming here since they were 1 and 3. They are now 12 and 14. Our family has loved this practice. Both children started with Dr. Douglass, and when my son turned 12, he switched to Dr. Papciak. Both are wonderful. Dr. Papciak is incredibly supportive though often he seems rushed. I cannot say enough about Dr. Douglass. She knows my daughter intimately, and has treated her as a mother and a doctor. She has been supportive of our family when our children are sick, and often goes above and beyond. We recently moved from Georgia, but we love her so much that we will be returning annually for my daughter’s check ups. She is extraordinary. The other doctors in the practice as just as good when our two primary doctors are not available. In particular, we always ask to see either Dr. Murad or Dr. Jester. Both are also phenomenal. Dr. Murad knows asthma and medicines that are unique to my children and their symptoms, which it would seem all doctors do, but often they prescribe reflexively; she doesn’t. She takes her time. Dr. Jester makes the cutest bird noises, and it always brings a smile to my children’s faces, even now. The consistency of the staff speaks volumes about the working conditions and the professionalism. All of these doctors have been there since we started with the practice in 2001. The front office staff is courtesy, and my children can always get in even when they are sick at the last minute. I only wish I could move them with us to Virginia, but since that’s not possible, we will travel back once a year for their well-​care appointments.

We stopped by here the other day after work as part of our process of scouting out pediatricians for the pending arrival of our little bundle of joy. We met with Dr. Douglass and we really liked her, as is mentioned in the other reviews, she has three children of her own so her advice is coming from a mother AND a doctor. The really cool thing about the area that their office is located in is that there are several different types of doctors located in this area. My wife’s doctor, my doctor, and the baby’s doctor are located in basically the same building, this is good news for dad (me) since I will be doing a lot of the driving and I don’t want to have to drive all over the Atlanta Metro area due to our famous traffic congestion, LOL.
Some of the other features that I especially liked is that they have separate waiting rooms for sick children and another for children that aren’t sick. They also don’t allow toys n the waiting area, which I had never seen before. I think this is good because they will probably be covered with germs from all the sick children going in and out of there. They also have a good relationship with the hospital that we will be working with and I think that will pay dividends when delivery time gets here. We went to see several pediatricians and we were very impressed with Dr. Douglass, I think we have found our pediatrician.

My wife and I are very happy with this pediatrician. When we were pregnant, I interviewed several pediatricians and they were all very good. I picked Preston Ridge based on the credentials of Dr Papciak. He was the Chief of Pediatrics at Scottish Rite. We were impressed. As it turns out, we don’t see him very often but rather Dr Douglass. She has young children, so often her advice comes as a parent (not just as a doctor).
The office staff is nice. We don’t wait long and can get sick appointments in a hurry if needed. Only negative would be… don’t make well appointments on Mondays. This might be true of any pediatrician. Kids get sick on weekends, so Mondays are just nutty.
