Ferguson Judith M MD

Dr. Ferguson was my own pediatrician, and my family’s, for several years. At first, we liked going there because the wait time was short, she kept sick kids’ and well kids’ appointments at different times, and she spent a lot of time with each of us, answering all of our questions. However, as she has settled into her practice, she has spent less time with patients, time spent in the waiting room has increased, her staff has gotten to be downright mean, and she has become quite careless. She repeatedly misdiagnosed a friend’s appendicitis as gastroenteritis. He saw her three times over a week. Each time, she grew increasingly annoyed with his parents for bringing him back, rather than realizing there might be a more serious problem. Finally, he was so sick that the parents had to take him to the ER because it was a Friday night. Turns out his appendix had ruptured. It’s a good thing it happened over the weekend, because I bet Dr. Ferguson would have told them to go home and feed him jello and apple juice without even glancing at the boy. Keep your kids away from this woman!
