Alejandra Melnyk

Wonderful experience, I have been coming here as a patient for 16 years and TLC pediatrics have become a part of my family and have created a friendly and caring environment.

I have been with TLC since both of my children were born. I knew Dr. Thompson-Chittams was for me and my children when she checked on my first child the day after he was born at Anne Arundel Medical Center. She and her staff have been nothing but awesome with me and my children. She and her staff are friendly, awesome personalities, and down to earth; willing to work with you whenever possible. I'm starting to well up a little, but on Tuesday July 26, 2016, my son was going into anaphylactic shock. I phoned a few times driving my child to the office, as we were closer than a hospital would be. Each time I dialed, not knowing, because of slight panic, I spoke with Ann, Joann, Cretia, and Mia. The awesome staff at TLC was on it, asking the right questions and calming me at the same time. When we got to the office, they took us back immediately, Ann was there calming my son, while Dr. Thompson-Chittams and others rallied together in help and support to get the proper things in order to be administered. I'm not only thankful to God, I'm thankful for the quick thinking of all at TLC Pediatrics for helping to save my sons life. I am totally thankful and grateful for them.

I have been at TLC Pediatrics since I was 10 years old. They are a committed and dedicated staff who are not only friendly but concerned about ur health as much as your family is. I highly recommend them.

Maewanda Burks

Dr.Thompson has been amazing with both of my children. When I was nursing my first child she saw that I was having a hard time and called me at home during after office hours to encourage me to hang in there. She is amazing with my kids.

I really enjoy my visits at TLC Pediatrics. I’ve had Dr. Thompson since I was a baby and she is honestly the best doctor! Every time I come for a visit the entire staff treats me like family. Dr. Thompson has a wonderful way of allowing me to express myself and she acts more like my friend than my doctor. Her terrific bedside manner takes the discomfort and fear out of being in a doctor’s office.

I started with a pre-natal consultation in 2008 and have not regretted that decision since. The staff is always pleasant and professional, and Dr. Thompson-Chittams is the absolute best. When I had each of my children, she was the first physician I saw in the morning. Even though the hospital had a pediatrician on staff, she wanted to exam the children, as well as check in on me. I would recommend her and TLC Pediatrics to anyone, and I have!

Tiffany Connelly

Dr. Toni and her staff are amazing! Very patient, friendly and professional as well. The wait is never long. She always takes the time to hear my concerns, no matter how silly I may think they are. I never feel like she's just trying to rush me out and get to her next patient. I highly recommend her!!!

Geoffrey Carson

Great first visit with my infant. Kathleen Howard was excellent in knowledge and bedside manner. My wife gave an immediate "this is the one" when we got to the car.

Ebony Alston

This place is FREAKING AWESOME. I absolutely loveeeee this Drs Office its clean and they have different cartoon characters for each room. The Staff is nice and the Drs will go out their way to make sure that your baby is ok.... and the wait time isn't long. Thank God I've found this place.

Lemar Rivers

Dr Thompson has been our children’s pediatrician for 6 years. Her care goes beyond a medical visit. She really cares about our children and goes above and beyond to make sure they are ok and parents are well informed. She has many patients but provides enough care to make your child feel as if they’re her only patient. I truly love this practice! Like her all of the medical professionals and staff are so warm , loving and knowledgeable. We couldn’t have picked a better place to send our children for care! They are the best !

Sarita Marshall

Dr. Thompson is AMAZING!!!! I love this lady. She's pleasant, knows all three of my kids names and doesn't have to look at a chart to figure it out. She makes me feel as if my kids are her one and only priority. When I had my two youngest kids, she evaluated my breast milk flow and made sure they latched on properly. When I first came to her, it was just her - now she has other staff on board as well to assist and they fit right in. She's very responsive if you call the after hours mailbox as well. I don't plan on leaving her practice until she tells me my kids are too old.

Cherish Tolbert

I have been apart of the TLC Pediatrics' family since I was in about the 3rd grade. I am now a high school graduate. I love the doctors as well as nurses. They have always been very patient with me and my fear of needles. The environment is extremely friendly. I would recommend this company to anyone!

Tamara Hayes

Our family has enjoyed the professionalism and care provided to our children st TLC Pediatrics.

Samya Queen

Dr. Thompson has been my pediatrician since I was a toddler and is now my little sisters. The customer service is awesome. I have epilepsy and everytime I have to go to hospital she is there, she is very hands-on !

Suki Johnson

I love this Pediatrics office. Minimal wait time, easy scheduling, with no problem for sick/same day appointments. Staff is friendly, environment is clean and accommodating, and a great location. The Doctors, PA's and NP's are all warm, caring, professional and knowledgeable. I can't see going any other place for my child.

Jorge Santana

Dr. Thompson has been my doctor since I was one years old. Every time she moved, we followed. I’ve had nothing but incredible experiences with the staff at TLC, everyone from the receptionist to the doctors are always nice to me. My mom always found it easy to make appointments and we never waited long in the reception area. Whenever there was an emergency, they fit us in. For example, last summer I was scheduled to attend a program out of the area. I had just returned from another trip where I fractured my toe. TLC saw us immediately, made us an appointment to take X-rays across the street, reviewed the X- ray and booked us an appointment with a pediatric specialist all in one day. It sucked that I had a boot, but I was happy I didn’t have to miss a day of my program. Lastly, my little sister who is 3 years old also goes to TLC.

My family and I have been with TLC Pediatrics since birth and we love it. I couldn't ask for anything more and I look forward for the many years to come.

Katerina Melnyk

TLC Pediatrics has been a part of my life for the past 16 years. Dr. Thompson-Chittams and the rest of the staff have been extremely kind, thorough, and welcoming! Every visit has been amazing and I would highly recommend TLC Pediatrics!

Suneidy Lemos

Love this practice! Dr Toni is great! My son is 5, and we've been going here since day one!

Tameria Bradley

Dr. Thompson is absolutely the best! The day my daughter was discharged from the NICU, we were able to get an appointment the same day! When my daughter was admitted back into the hospital, Dr. Thompson called and checked on her. She was able to catch issues that the hospital didn't, which required my daughter to have surgery. Dr. Thompson remembers my daughter so we feel like she personally knows her. She has the best recommendations and she's available always shows concern. We are grateful for her and the TLC Staff! Tameria B.

Lawrence T. Jones

Great experience working with dr Thompson. She made hospital visits the day after my daughter was born to do a check up. My own doctor doesn't do that. Lol. Great experience and professional staff.

Alicia Hall

Dr. Thompson-Chittums has been my child's pediatrician since birth and nearly 11 years later, I am still so happy with her care. The office is very well run, with a staff that balances professionalism and warmth. My level of satisfaction is so high that we travel about 45 minutes from home to see them despite other much closer practices.

Shawn Mack

My children have been patients with Dr. Thompson since 2002. We love everything about her, her staff and practice. She has become our go to person. By the time we reached our third child he was the one to keep us on our toes. Having asthma, severe food allergies and very bad eczema, she was there to conquer it all. He is now a 12 year old track star for his school. When your child comes to this practice they are not a chart number. They take the time to get to know the family. I can’t thank them enough!!!!

Cheyanne Rosier

Incredible, supportive staff and doctors! Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality care!

Chantee Harris

I absolutely love this doctor and the staff. She provides excellent healthcare to my most precious jewels, my kids and she has all the patience in the world with them, even when they are fussy. I NEVER have a problem getting in for a same day appointment and her front desk staff have always been courtesy and professional. The MA's in the back have been a pleasure to work with and have always been for patient with my kids as well. I will definitely refer TLC Pediatrics to any parent in need of a Pediatrician who genuinely cares about your child's well being.

Stevenah Gardner

Dr. Toni Chittams is extremely thorough and knowledgeable in her check ups. She always greets you with a warm smile - as do the staff - which makes a difference, especially when you have someone who is afraid of getting shots. Dr. Chittams is a marvelous pediatrician who encourages aspiring physicians, like myself, by allowing us to experience and observe first hand what the medical field has to offer. Dr. Chittams has won not only my respect with her ability to connect with both the parents and patients, but also my trust in her abilities to keep my loved ones healthy and strong.

Lisa Henriques

We LOVE Dr. Thompson and her staff. The TLC nurses and admin staff are extremely professional! TLC Pediatrics treats us like family!! We appreciate all the Tender Love and Care they give.

Which make kids comfortable during their visit.The 24 hour emergency line is very helpful, she is prompt on returning your calls. The Streets Family !

Andrea Gallmon

I have been going to TLC Pediatrics since I was a baby and I have never had any issues here. Dr. Thompson, as well as the other PA’s and nurses, are all incredibly kind and professional. I can tell Dr. Thompson really cares about me and all her other patients. I highly recommend TLC Pediatrics if you are looking for a friendly and loving place to send your children for care.

indy d

I love Dr Thompson-Chittams! She is full of energy each and every time we go to see her. Very confident and give sound advice. Her being a black doctor is a plus for me. The front desk staff is always professional and nice. I also love the Nurse Practioner Kathleen she is always professional and she is also a Lactation Consultant. I would recommend this pediatric office to any and everyone mom with young children!!

Lorenzo Kenan

My journey with Dr. Thompson began nearly 15 years ago. My brother and I have been under her care for many years. With Dr. Thompson's excellent care and the support of her wonderful staff, I have no reservation in recommending TLC Pediatrics. If you desire a physician who possess these qualities of compassion, empathy, integrity, and honesty, Dr. Thompson and her staff is one for you.

Jade Naylor

Dr. Thompson is awesome. Very caring and attentive. Always pleasant. She always makes parents and kids feel at ease. No question is a dumb question. I would highly recommend her!

I've been with Dr. Thompson since i was a child and I have always had the best experience with her.

How would I describe TLC Pediatrics…? In a word, arrogant. It’s a shame that TLC Pediatrics sees questions and pleas for communication from concerned, first-time parents as an affront to their knowledge and an attempt to not let them “do their job” per Dr. Thompson herself. TLC, on my first born’s initial visit (of which she was 2 days old), coded in her medical records that she was diagnosed with jaundice (obviously, no blood work results were analyzed at that time) and a very serious “failure to thrive” (look it up on Medline Plus – NIH’s consumer health information resource). TLC did not communicate this at all, we found it on my first born’s record when we went home and happen to log into the online portal. When we called soliciting reasons, they claimed it was their protocol to do so when babies don’t return to birth weight. Again, my first born was 2 days old, babies don’t return to their birthweight until some 10-14 days after birth. They left it on record—who knows, maybe they could bill my insurance with it there? The other problem we had with TLC was their apparent randomness in determining the growth rate of newborns. Our baby was in at 6lbs 5oz, at 2 days old, down 7oz from her birth weight (a paltry sub 5% weight loss). TLC decided that she was failing to thrive, while not communicating that to us, at that point (note that the average weight loss is 10% and babies can continue to lose weight beyond just 2 days) and wanted to see us in two days. As new parents who didn’t think to check the portal as we had no reason to think our baby wasn’t thriving, we agreed. TLC was disappointed in the gain of 1oz over the two-day period (again, some babies are still losing weight at 4 days yet ours gained an ounce) and in a completely unprofessional, unscientific and dehumanizing move had my wife nurse for ~20 minutes to see if that ounce would be gained. Yes, they wanted, in a single nursing session, for my baby to gain what they want to see in a day. Obviously, the baby didn’t gain an ounce from one nursing session – note here, TLC’s scale doesn’t even provide ounces to the tenth or hundredth. Fast forward to yet another appointment, at 8 days of birth, this one a “weight check in”. After questioning where TLC got their “ounce a day” from, Dr./Ms. Long PA, who was visibly annoyed with our questions, furnishes an UpToDate article that did not distinguish gender and said that the ounce a day is an average (aka +/-). I showed her that my baby was on par with weight gain per the World Health Organization’s standards to which Dr./Ms. Long had no real response. Seeking solace and rationality from Dr. Thompson, the head doctor, she surprisingly sided with the non-evidence saying “we have seen and we like to see an ounce a day based on all the patients we’ve had”. Instead of the evidence from the World Health Organization/CDC, TLC bases their decisions on a comparably MUCH MUCH smaller sample size vis-à-vis their practice. Embarrassing. These are not small things, discouraging questions via sophomoric remarks like “let us do our job” for serious issues is a HUGE red flag for parents! No apology was issued for the miscommunication and lack of information, rather, Dr. Thompson recommended we pick up our medical forms as she uttered “I think you’re looking for a certain answer”. Unprofessional, we wanted communication however on this occasion, we took her advice and got our newborn out of that deplorable practice.

Sierra Proctor

Dr. Chittams and the staff at TLC Pediatrics are extremely professional and attentive to the needs of their patients. We have been loyal customers for over ten years and would highly recommend TLC Pediatrics to all parents.

Ekep Nkwelle

I have been going to TLC for about 10 years, and, even though it's about time for me to move on to an adult doctor, I honestly do not want to leave! Everyone there has been so helpful, patient, and welcoming. I cannot point out one instance where I did not feel comfortable or loved within that space. This is truly, in my opinion, the best pediatric care team in all of Maryland. You go guys!

SumterJones Group

Awesome staff responsive to all questions and concerns.

A. Shumate

Dr. Toni Chittams is an AMAZING doctor and advocate for children. She takes the time to truly get to know her patients and address any issues that come up in a timely and considerate way! When my 2 oldest children became young adults they didn't want to leave her! So glad she opened a new office for older children!

I’ve been a patient with TLC Pediatrics since 2010. I am now almost 19 and dreading the day I have to start looking for a doctor for adults 21 and up :( I’ve loved the office and the team since I started at 10 years old, they’ve always been so welcoming and polite each and every time I’ve came for a visit or called multiple times about forms for college, shots, or whatever the case may be. It’s impossible not to see the love Dr. Thompson of course, Dr. Washington, Dr. Kathleen & P. A. Dia have for each family that comes in... Dr. Thompson remembers almost every single detail of what you tell her without looking at past notes, genuinely cares about her people, and goes above & beyond to make children comfortable at her office. The office is even a representation of that too considering that each room has its own theme with toys! I wish I could give the office an ever higher rating. There’s no better place that I would recommend other people in the PG area too!

Theresa M

Bringing my daughter to TLC Pediatrics has been a dream come true! Dr. Thompson-Chittam is AMAZING!!!! She is very thorough and she knows all her patients my name. No long waits, friendly and knowledgeable staff and they are very accommodating to you to get same day appointments if needed. I would highly recommend TLC Pediatrics.

Leandra Gallmon

Dr. Thompson- Chittams has been my doctor for 15 years and i absolutely love her and her staff. I highly recommend her and her colleagues as primary care pediatrics physicians.

Jaday Myers

TLC Pediatrics is outstanding and works diligently to provide the best healthcare for children.

Marlyn Bowman

My name is Anthony Bowman. I have been a patient at TLC Pediactrics for 17 of my 19 years. Dr. Thompson and her staff are the most kind and caring medical staff that I have been around. I appreciate them for what they have done for me and my sisters. Thank you!

Sadieekayy

I have been a patient for about 4 years now. I have never had a bad experience. Dr.Washington and Dr.Thompson-Chittams really care and listen when you bring up a concern or even ask a question. They really get to know their patients. The office staff are ALWAYS really kind. The office is also always clean even when there are a lot of people in the waiting area. I highly recommend Dr.Thompson-Chittams and Dr.Washington to others. Everyone in the office really cares about your health and treats you like family!

Tiffany Stevenson

I LOVE TLC Pediatrics. Both my 8 year old and 2 month old go to Dr. Thompson. She is awesome. When my newborn baby had a cold at 1 month Dr. Thompson called me the evening after her appointment to check on my daughter and then the next morning to follow up on how she did during the night hours. I 100% recommend TLC pediatrics!!!! The staff are also awesome group of people!!!
