Dr. Clardy was my son’s pediatrician for the first year of his life. My son was on ARKids and Dr. Clardy was the only ped that I could find that was taking patients. Now I know why. I have insurance through my job now and I had(as if the decision was hard) to change pediatricians and so I am writing this review to basically warn people about what they’re about to encounter with Dr. Clardy. Dr. Clardy has ZERO manners. He apparantly ranks somewhere in the military world and treats all parents as if we’re idiots that had no business having children, even those of us with college degrees that present ourselves in a very professional manner in his office and out. When my son reached the age that he began to be afraid of going to the doctor and started crying at his check ups, Dr. Clardy began being short with my child. My child was a late walker so as he was screaming his little head off at 14 months old Dr. Clardy was trying to force him to stand up(which he could do, but wouldn’t because he was upset) so he grabbed him up and shoved him to me and told me to take him that it was no use. I never went back. I’ve heard nothing but bad things about him and was told by our new pediatrician that he knows that Dr. Clardy is «an ass.» Dr. Clardy obsesses over fruit juice, sports, trampolines, sleeping in a bed or on the floor, and walkers in that he thinks they’re all extremely dangerous and shouldn’t be in the home. You’ll not know the full extent of that side of him until you’ve been in his office. It’s comical(because of his absurdity) now that I look back on it, but I will never use him or refer him to anyone so long as I live. What a sad life, to be so bitter and strict and be the care giver of children. How sad not to be liked by… well…anyone.
