Herrmann Carol Md - Rainbow Kids Pediatrics

We are so pleased that we finally found a Dr who actually listens to us and helped us immensely after 19 months of frequent antibiotics for ear infections! We had no idea all the harm we were doing our son until our neighbor informed us that in many European countries ear infections aren't treated with antibiotics at all! They referred us to Dr. Herrman who spent a good bit of time with us going over his history thoroughly. She helped us with the restoration of good intestinal health by using probiotics which we had never heard of before. His chronic diarrhea, eczema and ear infections have all improved dramatically. We have changed his eating habits with her support and encouragement. We waited over one half hour to see her after we were put in the examining room but learned tons while we read all the interesting articles she had posted on the walls about pesticides in foods and cancer causing chemicals in hot dogs! We were shocked since our son lived on hot dogs and sausage. We can't recommend her highly enough. And she is patient and gentle with children.

Be careful!! I would not take my child to her ever again. - dotmoran - Today
my son was running a fever of 104 for several days. I took him to Dr. Hermann. She swore it was a virus called fifths disease or roceaola, both which include a rash. I explained to her that he had no rash and had been holding his head and ears. I also informed her of his acute ear infections and tubes in his ears during our consultation. She got her medical books out and started reading them to me, even after I told her I was familiar w/ both of these childhood illnesses. I went back 2 days later to see her again after he continued at 104 fever, and still had developed no rash. She told me to go get blood work done and white blood cell counts etc. and swore it was still 1 of these 2 viruses. She even wanted to give him a catheter and check for a UTI even after I told her that he is always hydrated and exhibited no sign of this type of infection. After my son continued to run a fever of 104 for 2 more days, I took him to Peachtree Park Peds where Dr. Kuo diagnosed him with a severe ear infection and immediatley put him on antibiotics. He was feeling better within hours, and the fever finally broke. Her staff is rude, the wait is insane, her biiling dept. sends me bills that I and my insurance have already paid and she REALLY needs to be investigated by the state board. I would NEVER recommend her to anyone. I paid her $300 to tell me to put my 1 year old on Motrin every 4 hours, tell me to make him a vegetarian and that hot dogs cause cancer. Unacceptable.

We love her. She is the best Dr. we have seen with our children. She makes everyone so relaxed and my daughter didn't even know she was having an exam.
