Terwelp Daniel R MD

Both Dr. Terwelp and Dr. Howard are fantastic, and I would highly recommend them. In fact, Dr. Terwelp was my husband’s pediatrician, and both he (and all his siblings), and their mother have all had great things to say.
In terms of my experience… I have found both Terwelp and Howard to be very knowledgeable, thorough, and give great advice/​recommendations. I’ve had to call them several times when my son was sick (or «sick»), and have gotten honest answers — sometimes I’ve been told my son’s condition was completely normal, other times they told me to come in, and were always able to get us in right away. They both have great bedside manners, and I feel very, very comfortable having my son in their care.
I also like the clinic — it’s made for kids, and the office lady knows all our names when we come in — friendly and welcoming.
We plan to take all our kids (existing and not yet born) to this clinic.

Thanks to a wonderful recommendation from a friend, my son has been a patient of Dr Terwelp and Dr. Howard’s since birth. I just got off the phone with someone from their office and my first thought was «Man, I just love everyone in that office, I wish they saw adults so they could be my primary care physicians as well» I cannot emphasize how spectacular everyone is from sweet and funny people who answer the phone, to the patient and caring nurses who will always spend the time to talk to me on the phone if I have questions about things like vitamins or formula or tips for teething. Dr. Terwelp has amazing credentials and a great bedside manner. Dr. Howard is warm, patient and extremely thorough, she REALLY listens. I trust them both completely.
As a first time Mom I often have questions that may seem silly to more experienced parents, but I have never felt judged or uncomfortable asking. I have also never felt rushed in their offices, which is HUGE! They take their time with my son AND ensure they address any and all questions I have at each appointment. Speaking of appointments, I have never waited more than about 4 – 5 minutes in the waiting room, so the front office staff deserves a high five for being excellent schedulers.
If you are looking for a new Pediatrician, look no further. Wonderful doctors, wonderful nurses, wonderful staff.

Not impressed. I was referred to Dr Terwelp by a good friend. As I am in need of a good doctor for my kids and have not been happy with others. I called to get an appointment. Wendi kept me on the phone for 30 minutes grilling me with all kinds of crazy questions and opinions about immunizations (to which my kids are current) and flu shots. She informed me I would have to submit ALL of their records for viewing prior to seeing the doctor. I questioned ALL of my records, as this is we have moved a couple times and I’ve never had to do this before. I mean shouldn’t they request that information? I explained that my kids were healthy and just had wellness checkups throughout the years. I asked how far back I needed to go before being able to see the doctor, she was snotty and gave some snotty response like she was speaking to a 16 year old single mother w/​o a clue. After grilling me she quickly ended the conversation stating she had to check people in and she would speak with the doctor about my family becoming patients there and call me back. WOW! She never called back, when I called her back she informed me that the doctor hadn’t gotten back to her with an answer as to my limited records of my kids and she just couldn’t tell me if we could be patients there or if another doctor would be a better fit. I didn’t realize it was a receptionist job to decide who is a patient there or not. NOT IMPRESSED!

After way too many terrible experiences at Capital Pediatrics, we switched to Dr. Jones and Dr. Terwelp. They are wonderful.
While I prefer Dr. Jones to Dr. Terwelp, just because I think her bedside manner is better, I totally trust Dr. Terwelp. Both really know their stuff. Dr. Jones is fantastic with our very young children and is great at putting them at ease during their exams.
Their office staff is great and I love that it is a small office. I don’t feel like we are just a number there. The only downside is, since it is a small office, we’ve sometimes had to wait for flu shots. Overall though, I will take the courteous, friendly, knowledgeable people at Dr. Terwelp and Dr. Jones’ office any day over what we went through at a larger practice full of rushed people who didn’t care (Capital Pediatrics).
