Pediatricians who are Physicians - Harvest, AL

"I wouldn’t leave him even a mere thought of a star. But it is making me. I hope the name BENJAMIN NOAH CRIDER HAUNTS him for the rest of his life. Causing my already medically fragile more harm, calling a social worker on me when I advocated against him AND WAS RIGHT, then the AUDACITY to call me, personally, HIMSELF, on the day I was at the FUNERAL home planning my 5 year olds burial, to see why he didn’t make it to his appointment that day. And the only thing he said was “oh..”, and HUNG UP. HIS “CARE” is WHY. My child went into the hospital, as directed by him, through the ED & the receptionists thought I was making his name up, while bouncing back after an obstruction and was on the mend of recovery at home, slowly, as his MEDICAL HISTORY STATED WAS NORMAL… just to come out a whole different child, petrified, borderline abused, (let’s talk about having a phlebotomist take his blood WHILE IN MY ARMS IN THE HALLWAY ON HIS WAY DOWN TO HAVE HIS FEEDING TUBE REPLACED WITH ANOTHER DOCTOR, TO THE POINT NURSES WERE CRYING HEARING HIM SCREAM BECAUSE YOU DEMANDED IT HAPPENED THERE IN THE HALLWAY WHILE ON THE WAY DOWN TO A PROCEDURE THAT DID NOT INVOLVE YOU) Even in a clinic, it took him 1-2 hours to even COME into the room. I wouldn’t recommend him even if it depended on someone’s life, because he would be the reason it ends, my CHILD as an example. HORRIBLE. And very very LUCKY that by time I had my child’s medical records in my hands, it was too late to press charges. I hope you rot, “Doctor”. I’ll gladly provide my information, August 11 will be 5 years — I have FINALLY reached the point where I am able to speak up. I hope EVERY ONE sees this. And I hope they understand that I can absolutely back my words up with MEDICAL records (I work in the medical field as well, so I very well know how that works), PHOTOS AND THEN SOME.. Stay away from children if you can’t handle their complex history. And again I say, I hope my sons name haunts you. As it should."

"Recently, I moved my daughter and my wife down to Harvest, AL after accepting a job across the country and purchasing our new home. We are all natives of Minnesota, so we understand the importance of maintaining a healthy standard in our respective communities. That said, we will be changing my daughter's provider to a physician outside of Harvest, due to the lack of respect Shradha Shrestha showed my daughter, Molly, by curbing her enthusiasm in learning from her as a female doctor... ...so much so that Dr. Shradha Shreshtha told my daughter "if you just stop talking, I will give you a sucker". Then went on to belittle her by telling my wife "I'm sure you're happy she will be going to school, to give your ears a break". This comment game from the fact that this appointment was a requirement for Molly to receive her "Blue Card", due to Alabama not recognizing other state's immunization documentation. A week prior, in July, I received my American Red Cross® - First Aid, CPR and AED certification for Adults/Pediatric. And that same week, both my daughter & wife were witnesses to my training saving the life of an epileptic woman unable to come out of her seizure - due to the heat index. Molly was so driven to medically help people (mostly herself with her minor cuts/scrapes), that her and I went through 3 First Aid Kits that week while writing fake prescriptions, wearing uniforms, and most important - learning real medical tips the best way a 4 year old can. My wife gets anxiety from any confrontation and begged me to refrain from addressing the incident. Until last weekend when we were volunteering at 3-Caves in Huntsville, and ended up meeting a family that went through the exact same level of unprofessional behavior from this doctor that seemed so promising with her 2nd clinic recently opening in Harvest. I understand that not every physical has the ability to humor the children while diagnosing. But adhering to the signs or "symptoms" of a child's health is your job. The fact that Shraddha Shrestha thought her comments would be funny to my wife indicates that she may be used to a lesser style of parenting in Alabama. "
