Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

We love Dr. Addington. He's treated all of our 3 children, including our son with autism and our daughter who has a rare craniofacial disorder. He is always so laid back and calm that my son is never overwhelmed or nervous. He sees Dr. Addington as a friend who will even chat with him about his interests. With my daughter, I was constantly emailing him and taking her in for issues with her g-tube and breathing. He always took great care of her, and you can see his concern is genuine. We have stayed with Kaiser to have him continue to be our kids' doctor.

Dr Addington saw my son for a sprained ankle along with a skin infection on his foot. He gave him a wrap for the ankle but no air cast or crutches. He also gave him too strong an antibiotic for the infection which tore up his stomach. We then took my son to the urgent care after he became violently ill from the meds and was told all 3 ligaments were torn and he was given a cast and crutches along with a lower dose of antibiotics. Won’t go back to this Dr again!

Dr. Addington is kind and calm during every visit with my kids. He takes time to explain things to you and he makes sure to address every concern you may have. We’ve had nothing but a positive experience with him as our pediatrician and I highly recommend him.
