My daughter has seen Dr Holdridge for the past 6 years. Hes been great even since she was a newborn. While he may need some better staff, hes an excellent Pediatrician. Hes NEVER laughed at a question I had regarding my child. Never felt rushed out of an appointment.

We have had Dr. Holdridge since our baby was born. He is always patient, kind and very knowledgeable. I haven't experienced any of the concerns listed in the other comments. Our appointments are always on time and never rushed. I usually come with a list of questions and he takes the time to answer them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great doctor.

Im currently on the hunt for another doctor my kids have had him as a doctor for two years and he has become extremely rude and belittling when I voice my concerns regarding my child/children. He acts as if I'm crazy and even as of recent laughed at what I was saying. I honestly don't even feel comfortable going to him with my concerns. I left the office crying once when I was scared for my baby who had rsv and I had no experience with that and he acted as I'd I was crazy and asked you need a break want us to admit her. After that I'm on edge even going there this last visit was it! I'm done I didn't want to switch because my daughter is used to him. I also use to have such respect for him not any longer. Not only that I practice some attachment parenting and i breast feed and he isn't very knowledgeable of that. Also disregards my concerns for vaccinations and my kids react so badly. Do not recommend.

First of all "Dr" Holdridge gave me bad advice about breastfeeding which any lactation consultant would tell you NOT to do (time sides). He and his nurse bullied me into vaccinating my daughter when she was 2 mo which I was very against (due to our family health history). He refused to look at any research I had done on my own and belittled me. After a bad reaction to the 2 mo shots I refused to vaccinate more at such a young age. He went against the AAP's recommendation and threatened me saying he would no longer treat her. Finally after I was fed up with this lack of care I went to a different practice (EFP). A year and half later when I moved 3 hours away I joined another practice and his awful staff refused to send my records and wouldn't accept a faxed release form (they insisted I be there in person). I have never been a member of a practice that thought so little of their patients and made everything so difficult (not to mention the wait times and bad bad attitudes)!

Dr. Holdridge is a top-notch doctor - extremely thorough, careful, and professional. We have dealt with other pediatricians and are lucky to find a doctor of Dr. Holdridge's caliber.

We love Dr Holdridge. He takes the time to answer our questions. He may seem/look arrogant but he is certainly not! We've never had a problem and always answers us honestly. Glad we found him ! If we see him in the Lourdes hallway he always says hi and remembers us!

Dr. Holdridge was RUDE, arrogant and had little to no concern for the issues at hand. Treated the parents as if they were crazy and dumb for thinking outside the box to traditional medicine. Wouldn't perform tests wanted and laughed at questions asked. I would NEVER in a million years recommend him to any parent. Please steer clear of him and his nasty attitude.
