Apex Pediatrics Center PA

My daughter got a letter from the DMV that she had 30 days to get her physician to sign off that she was ok to drive or they would yank her license. Problem? She moves in to college in a week!!!
The scheduling HEROES at Apex Peds bent over backwards to make sure they could squeeze her in before she leaves. They saved the day!
Thank you so much,
A frazzled and grateful mom

I find that Apex Pedatrics is either an understaffed office for the number of patients they have or it is an office that is uncaring and inefficient. I find this a common issue with larger pediatric offices. Three issues I’ve experienced in the past 6 months– waiting 5 weeks for a form to be filled out, a doctor refusing to see my son that ended up with him in the ER, and dealing with a rude office staff. The only positive experience was getting referrals to some great specialists with Duke for my son that has multiple medical issues. I do not recommend Apex Pediatrics. Sadly, I have little confidence in this practice to ensure my children are properly cared for.

This place was recommended to me by the doctors and nurses at daughter’s NICU when she was being discharged from the hospital. With a medically fragile preemie, I needed to make sure I found a good pediatrician who would take my daughter’s health seriously. I feel like Apex pediatrics has met that need.
My only issue with the place is Dr. Johnson — she has a strong tendency to brush off all concerns and health problems. For instance, I talked to her several times about my oldest daughter’s developmental delays and unusual behavior, and she insisted nothing was wrong and that she’s likely catch up with the delays and outgrow the strange behaviors. Turns out she had severe autism, and I regret the time lost that could have been spent on early interventions. With my youngest daughter (just 1 year old at the time) she brushed off a chest cold with the beginnings of an ear infection and it turned into pneumonia and a double ear infection. We luckily avoided a hospitalization, but it frustrated me that such a serious illness could have been avoided with a course of antibiotics. I understand not wanting to overuse antibiotics, but I feel an infant with a chest cold and signs of an ear infection should not be left untreated in order to take a «wait and see» approach.
My favorite doctor there is Dr. Bowman. I feel like of all the ones there, he takes a parent’s concerns most seriously.
Other things to note: I like that the waiting room is divided into well and sick sides, and that they have TVs playing kid-​friendly movies. The nursing and office staff is also very friendly.

I recently switched to Apex Pediatrics after going to Triangle Pediatrics for years. I wanted to find a pediatrician that was closer to home. I really like the facility. The waiting room is decorated nicely and I like that the waiting room is separated into two different areas (sick and well). Every time that I have needed an appointment I have been able to get one right away. We have only seen Dr. Bowman and he was very attentive and explained things to both me and my children. Recently I took my four year old daughter to the doctor and the appointment involved looking under her underwear. Before he touched her he took time to explain to her that he is a doctor and it is ok that he looked under her clothes because mommy was there. I was impressed that he explained all of this to her. I am very happy that I switched pediatricians because they are close to my house, they always have appointments, and the doctors are very attentive.

I had my first appointment at the Apex office of Cary Pediatrics today and it was FABULOUS!
I love that the waiting room is divided by «Sick Patients» on one side and «Well Patients» on the other. It was nice to see that when I come back with my son, if he’s sick, he’ll be in a spot away from other children and hopefully not get them sick, and vice-​versa!
We had his well-​baby appointment with the nurse practitioner Julie Wilson and she was absolutely wonderful! I am so happy that we found this office!
What I also love is that there are three different offices. There’s the main office in Cary, one in Apex, and the other is in Fuquay-​Varina. You can take your child to any of the three offices, and on Saturdays the Cary office is open and will see patients from all three offices.
If you’re looking for a great pediatrician for your child, definitely check out the Apex office of Cary Pediatracs!
