Reviews of First State Pediatrics (Hospital)

We love Dr Leach and Dr Murphy! I never feel rushed during our visits. Office is also very clean

Was told my daughter was banned from because of 2 cancelled appointments so my son (who has never been there) cannot be a patient there. If that's how they treat children/families I definitely don't want him to be a patient there. And they are backed up until the end of January. What good is that?!

Dr. Muphy is the absolute best around. Hes great with kids, and talking things out for first time parents like me. My boyfriend had him as a doctor as a kid, and now our daughter sees him.

We have been very happy with both Dr. Leach and Dr. Murphy who have each seen both of our children. Dr. Leach is caring, understanding, never dismissive, and always kind. She is knowledgeable and does take into account any concerns you have. I couldn't speak more highly of her. Dr. Murphy ended up being the one on call when I had my second child, and he was very patient with us, as well as also being knowledgeable and kind. Unlike most practices of all kinds around here, the staff is very friendly and helpful. I would highly, highly recommend this practice!

I knew I was gonna like this practice when I first walked in. There are two sides to the office, sick waiting area and well waiting area. HOW COOL IS THAT???? I'm so glad that if my child comes in sick we don't have to risk infecting healthy kids by sharing waiting area books and crayons, or even just coughing on a healthy child. It's also very clean. Dr Leach and Dr Murphy are both amazing in their own way! Dr Leach is talkative...which I LOVE!!! She addresses every concern you have plus the ones you should have but we're not considering initially. I always leave there knowing my kids have received top notch care. Dr Murphy is hilarious! He makes jokes and duck noses or tries any other kind of way he can to ensure both parents and patient are relaxed and calm enough to communicate effectively. I'd recommend this practice to all of Delaware.

Looking to find a pediatrician for our first child due in a few weeks. They are too busy to even take a call in the early afternoon on a Thursday. Their outgoing message tells me to call 911 if it's an emergency and leaves NO option to talk with anyone and simply hangs up on me automatically. Seriously? I called back a few hours later and was told that we are unable to setup a prenatal "chat" with a pediatrician because they are just too busy to do so. I was told to call back after the baby is born. I really don't think that I want to depend upon this practice for the health of my first born child. Searching for another pediatrician now.

Dr.John Murphy is very good, knowledgeable pediatrician. He makes new parents very comfortable. I recommend him to all new parents.
