Kinder Mender, LLC

We were so happy with this location that we made it our children’s primary care physician. Clean offices, courteous staff always make you feel welcome. The kids love the play area in the waiting room and the cartoons on the tv in each exam room. Top notch.

I came here for the first time today because my daughter hadn’t been feeling well. This office is extremely clean from the waiting area to the patient exam rooms. We were seen within 5 minutes. I hadn’t even had a chance to finish filling out the new patient forms when we were called. The staff was very friendly from the receptionist, the medical assistant and the nurse practitioner. They recommended that we come back in 2 days for a quick followup and informed me that we wouldn’t have to pay another copay for the followup visit! We’ve always been charged additional copays at her PCP. I would definitely come back and recommend to others.

I brought my daughter here Tuesday morning to have here ear checked since she kept us up all night. Although they opened a few minutes late, we were in and out in about 20 minutes and they provided me with the antibiotic she needed before we left, so I didn’t have to get any prescriptions filled. The staff were courteous and friendly. They also called to follow up to see how she was feeling a few days later.

This is a great pediatric urgent care/​primary care facility! I have taken my 18-​month old son here for what turned out to be ear infections twice, and croup another time, and each time, we went around 9am and didn’t have to wait at all! After taking my son’s name at the receptionist area, we were called right back to get him weighed and then get settled in one of the rooms. All of the staff have been very nice and friendly and helpful with my concerns. I haven’t had to use the evening hours yet, but feel great that we have that option, and for urgent care on the weekends. I have made the personal choice to go here in situations where my son has been sick, instead of going to our primary care pediatrician in Columbia, just out of convenience and the fact that I can walk in without an appointment, with very little wait and be seen! I also like the fact that Kindermender provides some medications, like amoxicillin, as part of the service, with no need to go to the pharmacy afterwards. I would recommend this place to everyone!

If you have children and need a clinic, this is a great one. It is clean, the staff seems friendly and the clinic seems well designed for children (train around the lobby, a nice play area and child size benches). Then can provide some medicine on site, which saved a trip to the pharmacy.

I only leave reviews when someone stands out, and I think they really do. We used them as our primary care for a few months when we were new to the area, as well as for urgent care a few times. Every single time we came, the office was extremely clean, the staff was nothing but friendly and prompt, and we never even had a chance to take off our coats before we were taken back. They do free follow up checks when your child is sick, and they can provide antibiotics right there. We just found a different PCP closer to our new home, but will definitely continue to come here for urgent care (can’t beat those hours!)

Their Columbia location is actually a very nice one. The staff is wonderful and the doctor did everything she could to resolve a complicated immunization issue. The receptionist is a very friendly and smiley person that makes you feel welcomed.

Love this place! Very kid friendly and we were in and out with my son in 20 minutes! I wish all urgent care places were like this! Highly recommend and they are fairly new as well. Clean office no complaints!

Kinder Mender is far and away the best walk-​in clinic we have ever visited. Our 3 year old had, what turned out to be a terrible cold, and our regular pediatrician was closed due to snow so we decided to give Kinder Mender a try. We were so glad we did! The staff was very kind and knowledgeable, everything inside was clean and modern, and the entire interior is catered perfectly to children. We were in and out with our prescription in under twenty minutes and we felt that the doctor really took his time and was very tentative to our concerns. We will definitely remember Kinder Mender the next time we need a walk-​in clinic for our daughter!

I love this place, and so do my kids. It’s very clean, and the staff is friendly, fast, and extremely professional. We’ve been twice, and each time we were seen so quickly that our kids didn’t have enough time to play in the well stocked play area – great for the parents, not so much for the kids! We love our regular pediatricians, so we only come here for urgent care. But I no longer dread having to go when they need after hours care. I highly recommend this place.

I LOVED this place so much, I want to open a franchise.
My 20 month old and I were in and out in less than 20 minutes… SERIOUSLY.
His required meds were INCLUDED in the office visit cost and filled right there.
The environment is so kid friendly and clean. Better than my pediatricians office… and we go to a pretty well known doctor in Howard county.
Fancy cars moonlighting as patient tables, mounted tv’s playing kid appropriate movies, art work on all the walls of animals et al.
When an ER visit is not quite necessary and the pediatrician is unavailable, I will be visiting this place.
