all good
wonderful
Dr. Atianand was cery knowledgeable and kind towards my daughters and cared for them as she would her own.
We saw a dr that we do not know and have never seen - the office was super busy that day and i could tell she wasn't going to spend a lot of time with us - we actually finished up in that hall as she was walking out and i had one more questions and she said "we'll talk about that if/when it happens" - kind of a weird comment i thought. Also, she suggested i use an over the counter medication for my 8 year old - i specifically asked her if there was a "kid version" of this - she said no need, just use the regular. When i went to the store to buy this, i (thank goodness) read the label and it said it was for children/adults over the age of 17! Needless to say i did not purchase it or give it to my 8 year old! Was disappointed that she would recommend it...
we waited about an hour to see the doctor but she was attentive to my son once she cam into the exam room. the nurse and reception staff very very friendly and helpful
Dr. A was very kind and attentive. Dr. A made both my son and I feel comfortable and respected.
My daughter really likes Dr. A. Being a 12 year old girl, she is comfortable with her and listens to what she says. She also knows that if she has a question for Dr. A, she can ask it and know that she will get an answer and that the time will be given to her so she's not rushed and uncertain.
This was our first time seeing Dr. A. she was excellent! I had my 3yr old in tow as well which can make appointments more tedious, but Dr. A was kind and included my daughter in the conversation about her brother. We always have such great care at this office, I couldn't ask for much more than what we already receive.
I was about 30 minutes early to the appt. The reception staff got us signed in and let the nurses know we were there. We only waited about 15 minutes before being seen, even though we were very early. The nurse was very friendly and seemed to really enjoy her job. The doctor we saw was great and answered every question or concern I had.
she is extremely friendly and makes my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed when examining her. spends time asking questions and listening.
Nice person - good job.
Provider is very friendly and attentive. Takes an adequate amount of time with child.
Dr. A is an exceptional physician. She took the time to make my 2 year old feel comfortable during the while exam. She talked to her and listened when she spoke. Dr. A listened to my questions and concerned and made sure she answered them fully. I will be scheduling her for both my children's well visits going forward.
excellent care !
My daughters doctor always makes sure that all of my questions are answered, and dosen't rush me. She's fantastic!
the doctor was inconsiderate of my choice to not give a vaccine. instead of accepting it she belittled me, stated that I was risking future uterine cancer in my child right in front of her, and questioned the reasoning for my beliefs in an arrogant, demeaning manner.
the provider was very friendly and listened very carefully to everything I had to say and all of the questions I had and answered them perfectly
Dr. A was very thorough when looking at my daughter's past medical history. I've had same day appointments in the past and sometimes I feel like the doctors try to get patient in and out too quickly. They don't review past history as well as Dr. A did today. It was very refreshing to see her take as much time as was needed to answer all my questions considering she wasn't my daughter's primary pediatrician. I would definitely love to see her for future visits.
Dr A is very friendly and does not rush to get you in and out like other Drs. willing to listen to all of our questions and give use very good feedback.
dr was very knowledgible kind caring and easy to speak with.
we waited for an hour for my son to be seen for a respiratory issue that he should have been seen for right away.
This was the first time seeing Dr. A. she took her time and was very good at explaining everything. I really like her. my daughter did also
The doctor was great.
the biggest problem we had was the wait time. appointment was at 1:30 but we were there until almost 3. We spent most of the time waiting in the exam room and the temperature was really hot. My son got really fussy being stripped down to his diaper in an exam room for almost an hour.
This was my first experience with Dr. A. She was intelligent, child-friendly, courteous and respectful. I would absolutely have my children see her again and also refer others.
My kids have been in this practice for 17 years and I cannot say enough positive words about all of the staff in this office. This was our first encounter with Dr. A. She is a wonderful addition to this practice. She gathered all information, assessed my child and answered all of my questions. She has a calm and caring demeanor that put myself and kids at ease. My child expressed how much she liked and felt comfortable with her during the visit which to me, is one of the best indicators of a doctors success. Looking forward to having her as a resource and caregiver for my kids.
she was really nice.
This was the first time seeing Dr. A. She was absolutely phenomenal with my child and explaining things to me. I would highly recommend her.
She was very nice and interacted well with my daughter.
Appreciated our doctor's concern for my son and careful examination.
Dr. A is excellent with the kids. She is very friendly, funny, and caring. My kids loved her.
I did not like this new Doctor. She kept going on and on about my weight. Asked me if i eat too many "lays potato chips". I know that I have gained weight and I have started at a gym and am trying to lose weight. I had to interrupt her to tell her that I am doing this already. I left feeling depressed and cried about it for 2 days. I understand the need to tell me about nutrition, but I just think she went overboard.
My daughter really liked Dr. Atianand and she made her feel comfortable. She said she would definitely see her again next time she has to go to the doctor.
Dr A was great! awsome addition to the practice!!
We waited for one hour to see Dr. A (as in, our appointment was at 10am and she came into the exam room at 11am). This is unacceptable.
Dr. A was awesome!
She was wonderful! For her first day on the job, she did a great job!
