Hanford Pediatrics

The wait time is horrible! I have waited with my toddler over 2 hours to be seen. The staff has always been nice but I hate the wait time.

We have seen Dr. Zorn since my son was born (17 months now); before that, she was my sister’s pediatrician & my mom recommended her to us. My sister is a big weenie when it comes to everything (& my sister loved her), so I figured if Dr. Zorn could handle her, she could handle anything. Dr. Zorn has a great bedside manner & is very chill. Whenever we go in for a physical, she always assures us not to stress on this or that — basically the small stuff.
Another huge reason I chose Hanford Pediatrics is because of Cathy Porter, the lactation consultant, works a couple of days out of the week here. She was tremendously helpful & supportive during the first few weeks my son was born. It was convenient to be able to make an appt here for my son but also see Cathy for my breast feeding concerns all at once. (She is also part of the local La Leche League in Hfd, FYI).
A few times when I made my appt for Dr. Zorn we were schedule with the male dr on staff (I can’t remember his name). He is also nice & helpful, but I felt kind of rushed with him. I know a couple of those appts they did have a few people in the waiting room, but not on every appt. So that I’m not thrilled about. I usually make my appts in the afternoon, because I’m working mom & it’s easier for me to go home after, but this last time the front office gave me a choice: appt in the am w/​Dr. Zorn, or appt in the pm w/​the male dr. I havent figured out if that’s the difference? I should also mention I’ve never had any complaints for the front office staff. They are organized, professional & all around sweet.

We followed one of the CPNP’s (Marj Froberg) here after Dr. Ayala’s office closed in town. Our kids have been going to Dr. Ayala/​Froberg since birth, and our kids really feel comfortable w/​them. So when Dr. Ayala closed his practice, we asked Marj where she was going and we followed.
This place is ran by Dr. Zorn. She is an older lady and is very grandmotherly. She has a really great bedside manner and our kids like her as well. She is very thorough in her exam of your children and makes sure she answers and questions you may have.
Marj Froberg is really super awesome. Like I said, my chidren have seen her since birth. She is very sweet and also has a fabulous bedside manner, not only w/​the kids but w/​the parents as well. I usually try to schedule our appointments w/​her, only cause we have a long history w/​her and we like to chat ;)
Steve Naylon, CPNP is also really good. He is a very big guy, and a goofball w/​the kids. Sometimes the little ones cry when he walks in… women just have an advantage, lol. But the kids quickly warm up to him. He is also very knowledgeable.
If you are looking for a pediatrician for your kids, then def try this place. Appts are usually super easy to get (in most cases same day) and the girl at the front desk is really nice.
They have a tv in the waiting room, and then inside is painted w/​various character like Dora & Diego. The kids really like it
