He has no bedside manner for a toddler and was dismissive.5/28/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientDr Layton speaks very aggressively. He was not rude per se, but his delivery is very loud and forceful. It made me feel unheard and spoken AT and not spoken WITH regarding my childs care. I dont feel like he gave me ideas or strategies for a plan of care, just his one and only method, despite my stating thats not what I wanted to do. I felt spoken over much of the time. WE WERE ALSO WAITING OVER AN HOUR FOR HIM, then he rushes out of our appt without asking if I had final questions after delivering (what felt like) a monologue.5/10/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientHe was extremely thorough and listened to my concern with compassion and understanding5/9/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientKind doctor, took time to explain and write down instructions, my daughter engaged with him which was great (shes normally shy)4/18/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientMy sons LPN Lydia Strickhouser and PCP Kimberly Smoak are amazing!!!!!! The new provider my son saw was not so great. He was very opinionated regarding my son being on the spectrum he noticed my son was I. The middle of stimming and had a tantrum because I wouldnt let my son touch something he was supposed to and my son hit me. My son is not verbal. After the provider saw that he took it upon himself to physically pick up my son and put him in the corner. He then told me growing forward that if he continues this behavior to isolate my 2 year old son in a separate room with the door closed. He asked how well does my son do with food and I told him his has some sensory issues so hes picky. He told me to cook whatever I wanted and that if my son doesnt want to eat what I make to not feed him until hes ready to only eat what I have prepared. He said that parents think that just because children have autism we think that our children can run us. Super unprofessional. I have NEVER had this experience with anyone at the office until him. I will never recommend this doctor to anyone ever.
