MercyOne Waukee Pediatrics Care

Dr. Shilpi is knowledgeable, kind, and thorough. We drive in from Marshalltown to see her because she provides the highest quality of care to our baby girl. MercyOne Pediatrics Care and Waukee are lucky to have her!

Dr. Christopher Etscheidt is simply amazing! My wife and I just had our first child in August. With having no prior experience to Pediatricions, I can only hope all are as great as Dr. Chris. We've already recommended him to our friends/family for their upcoming newborns. Dr. Chris addressed all our concerns, spoke directly to our newborn son like he was speaking to an adult. You can tell without a doubt he loves what he does. We're so greatful to Dr. Chris in helping us with this new journey as parents.

Both Dr. Jackson and Dr. Chris are EXCELLENT providers. My son and daughter both see Dr. Jackson for primary care and occasionally we've seen Dr. Chris. Dr. Jackson has been such an amazing provider to our children (one who has complex health needs) in addition to providing breast feeding and PPD support for me. We recently relocated 3-hours away and we continue to commute to her for care. I love that both providers respect my family's wishes and approach to parenting. They never rush our appointments and are two of the most thorough people I've ever met.

Dr. Chris & Dr. Jackson are THEE best in town! My son "R" usually sees Dr. Chris and he has been such a huge help with my son. I love that he talks directly to my son, even though he's 2 years old. It's refreshing and it shows him awesome examples of communication. We trust both of the Drs and their wisdom. They also never make me feel like an overprotective or crazy concerned parent either. Thanks for all you do Dr. Chris & Dr. Jackson!!

Dr. Chris is an amazing pediatrician. We never feel rushed. He gives us the time we need to ask all of our questions and treats our girls with so much care. We truly appreciate him.

I take my son to Dr. Chris. He is amazing, my husband and I love the way he treats our son and how he takes the time to explain everything to us. He goes above and beyond and we are lucky to have him in Waukee.

Change in doctor as of May 19th with out being informed. We just had a checks yearly check up for her meds May 15th. Nobody let us know via email or while in office. Daughter was due for a monthly med that she needs. Refused to refill until we see the new doctor. They wouldn’t even call in a 5 day prescription till we could be seen. She was with out her medication for a week till they could get her in. Very poor communication!! It’s been over a month of Dr. Chris being gone and they still have his business cards upfront. He has been gone since May 19th. I am not impressed with all the changes!!
