I recommend this practice to everyone!
by Angela Dephouse at Citysearch
I found this practice after moving from Atlanta and being unhappy with the first practice I found in this area. What a sweet relief to meet Dr. Coleen Boylston! She greeted me like a friend and has treated me that way for the last 4 years. She loves my kids, cooperates with an alternative vaccination schedule, and is always in a great mood! She is informative and fun. Between hospital births and sick visits for 4 children under age 6, I have also had a chance to meet 5 or 6 other doctors in this practice, and have been extremely satisfied with each one. From jaundice, slow weight gain and multiple ear infections in my infants to weird staff infections, a broken leg and a throat laceration in my preschoolers, these doctors have attended each child with the utmost care and professionalism. I feel confident entrusting my children's health to these doctors and we all look forward to going to Sweetgrass!
- Pros: Best pediatricians I've seen
- Cons: Sometimes a long wait

Almost cost me my son..
by MomWagner at Citysearch
When my middle child was born, he had some severe problems throwing up. After having a child with this issue before, I was somewhat versed in how to handle it. I noticed very quickly that my middle's sons condition was much different. After 20 plus visits, and numerous phone calls I still was treated as a "new mom" that surely didn't know what I was talking about. My 9 pound 11 ounce baby only weighed 11 pounds at 4 months. I ending up taking him to the ER, which also blew me off, so I called the Dr.'s again and told them that if they didn't have me an appointment with a specialist that day, I was going to come to their office for a "come to Jesus" meeting. Needless to say, I got an appointment down at the children's hospital that afternoon, still the Dr.'s thought me a high maintenence Mom. But, after getting down to MUSC, my son was rushed into Emergency Surgery for a blockage of his intestinal tract. The Dr.'s there couldn't believe that the other Dr.'s didn't catch it. He told me that normally this condition is caught by the time the baby is two weeks old, he was 4 months old at the time of surgery. My son is now doing well, however, his Dr. NEVER called or came by to see him at the hospital, never one effort to check on how he was doing, to apologize, or simply check on their patient. This taught me two lessons, One, never doubt my instincts about my children, and Two, find a Pediatrician who actually knew how to practice medicine. I am sure that they may be fine doing checkups, although I never waited less than an hour and a half...but they are not good Dr.'s when it comes to caring for children. Their methods of "practicing" medicine almost cost me my son's life. Find another Doctor..
- Pros: located in an easily accessible area of town
- Cons: Doctor's are not knowledgable, long wait, unconcerned with patients

Great Doctors and Staff
by 09222005 at Citysearch
I have an 8 Yr old son that goes to Sweetgrass Pediatrics and I would just like to say that the doctors and staff at Sweetgrass are great. He loves all of the doctors and the staff at that office and I am not sure if you are familiar with the behavior of an autistic child but they typically do not like any doctors or anyone who is trying to perform test, etc. I have been through several doctors that do not want to take the time to let him get used to them to help prevent his visit from being a traumatic one and I finally found Sweetgrass and its staff. They are very patient, experienced and caring staff. It may take some time for you to see a doctor but to me I feel that I would rather the doctor take the time to answer all questions and thorougly check my son out. Not try to rush me out of the door so they can see there next patient because they are trying to meet a quota for the day. I think that my son being happy and comfortable when he has to go to the doctor is the most important thing, not how long it takes to be seen, which by the way is not that long. If the people think the short wait there is too long maybe they needs to go the the ER and see how fast they get seen. When I take my child to a doctor I like to feel as if we are people and not just a number so I am willing to wait to see the BEST DOCTORS IN TOWN!!!!! Oh yeah and by the way my son has disability medicaid and he has seen many doctors in the area and I have been charged a fee for his medical records at each office so maybe you should check around to other offices.
- Pros: Awesome staff and doctors
- Cons: None
