Jeremy Frend, MD

I was looking for a new pediatrician for my son. So I called Dr. Frend’s office to establish care. as the receptionist who was helping me on the phone was very nice. She asked for my son’s medical records to be sent over for the doctor to review then an appointment could be made. I thought that was a bit peculiar. he’s a new patient and if I had any records I would bring them with me on the day of the visit. As that’s whats done 95% of the time (I myself work for a medical office). I explained to her some personal issues I had with my son’s records and that I am no longer with his father (And I just didn’t want to go down that road) but that I did have his immunization card. She said she needed to speak with her office manager and put me on hold. Which was fine. But then when she came back on the phone and explained to me my son can not be seen without the records being reviewed first I thought that WAS THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING IVE EVER HEARD!!! He’s a child and you’re going to deny him service? This is obviously a place I don’t want my son going too EVER!
There was a happy ending to this story. I did find a great pediatrician who would see my son without his medical records (those obviously aren’t necessity to this office).

Dr. Frend is excellent! We met with several doctors before our babies birth and liked him and his office right away. Everyone at the office is very friendly and the office is very clean. With our new born they made sure that we immediately got an exam room to wait in since our little one was not vaccinated yet. Dr. Frend takes time to answer all our questions and concerns which is important to us since we are new parents. We trust in his care for our little guy and are happy to have found a great doctor.

Our kid is now 5 and a half and we are still super pleased with Dr. Frend and his staff.

Dr. Frend has been my son’s pediatrician since he was born two years ago. He is AWESOME. My son loves him. His staff is great.
Highly recommend him as a pediatrician.

Dr. Frend will be my unborn baby’s pediatrician. I’m so happy I found him. He has such a calm and friendly demeanor, and does not rush you. He makes absolutely sure that all of your questions are answered, and he gives you a sense of reassurance.
I’ve been looking for a pediatrician who is not gonna be pushy about vaccines, since I dont plan on doing the full course of vaccinations. I appreciated the fact that Dr. Frend gives you information and his opinions about vaccinations — he recommends vaccines but he is not gonna try to force you/​bully you if you don’t want to give them. He gives you the pros and cons type thing, and allows you to make an informed decision. He will even give you research articles about the safety of vaccinations if you want them. Overall, he seems like an awesome Doctor, and I am so relieved that my search for my baby’s pediatrician is finally over :)
He also told me that newborns don’t wait in the waiting room, he has them wait in one of the rooms, which is really nice! I was reluctant to write this review because I don’t want him to get too busy.
The office has a little parking lot right in front. I’ll update my review later.

Dr. Frend is one of the best pediatricians I’ve dealt with. I’ve been taking my son there since he was born. Dr. Frend is caring, patient, and very knowledgeable. He listens to me and addresses all of my concerns. He is great with my son. I would highly recommend this doctor to anyone looking for a great pediatrician that they can trust. It’s a small office, so you don’t get lost in the crowd. They are great at taking you in right away when your little one is sick. I can’t praise this office and doctor enough.

One of the best pediatricians my children have seen. Very knowledgeable, friendly. The doctor and staff are all wonderful.

I just brought my 2 year old daughter to see Dr. Frend today for the first time. He was very calm, polite and respectful. I was very pleased with his respect for our decision not to vaccinate our daughter. I am so thankful as I’ve heard horror stories from other doctors who bully parents who don’t vaccinate OR won’t even allow them in their practice.
The nurse (don’t know her name) was very playful with my daughter and made her experience fun. The entire facility is very kid friendly.

Dr. Frend is a kind, intelligent, patient pediatrician who shows a lot of knowledge and very good toward your child. I also love the nurse. What I don’t like are the attitudes from the front desk, except Rebecca — she is the only one that is friendly and helpful. I also don’t appreciate that this office charges you $ 31 to request medical records. First of all, they shouldn’t charge you for medical records, second, it’s too much!

I met Dr. Frend prior to the birth of my son more than three years ago. I knew before my son’s birth that I would need an excellent pediatrician. I found that in Dr. Frend– who is smart, kind and is open to suggestions I have brought to him in the past. Such as research I have done on my son’s medical condition (pros-​cons, etc.) that could help my son with various challenges my son may or may not have. So for
Dr. Frend it has always been about working as a team – a team rooting for my son and family’s medical well being. That is a great thing to have. I really like the new office décor and the nurses for the most part are very good. I highly recommend Dr. Frend as well as Dr. Boxstein. (*Note of caution do not bring in food to the patient rooms — they are very picky about that. Other than that all is very good.)

Great doctor who has always given thoughtful advice for our four children. Wish he was closer since we moved and don’t have a comparable doctor nearby.

What a great Dr.

Dr. Frend is great. Always patient, no rush, very gentle. Always answers your questions.
Also, if you need a specialist, he will refer you to the best.
His office staff is great too, nice and professional.

Walking into a doctor’s office with a new born in your arm, you want to feel ABSOLUTELY confident… for you’re responsible for a teeny tiny one who can’t speak for itself and share it’s thoughts!
I accompanied my family on one of their appointments to this office. So, when Dr. Frend said, «I can’t tell if your your child’s symptoms of Jaundice have passed because he’s dark» is nothing but APPALLING!!! DESPICABLE!!!
Which medical school teaches this kind of clinical skills?
Needless to say, Dr. Frend is no friend with such a small, warped view of what ought to be said or not said.

So far so good. Nice office, good staff. Dr. Frend takes the time to answer all of your questions and concerns. Our son is three months old.

Absolutely love Dr. Frend. Our son is now 14 months old and has been going to Dr. Frend since birth. Dr. Frend is excellent with our son and his staff is very professional, courteous and friendly. As Marie D. wrote, we also scheduled a consulation with Dr. Frend when my wife was pregnant with him and have been extremely happy with him.
Our son has had some recurring medical issues and Dr. Frend has been great with us and with our son. He referred us to the right specialists as needed and has been great at responding back to us when we had emergencies during the weekend as well.
I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Dr. Frend.

We met Dr. Frend in the hospital when our twins arrived. We had an appointment to meet with another referred pediatrician, but Dr. Frend’s bedside manner and gentleness with the kids was great. We still met with the other doctor, but we went with Dr. Frend and the kids have been seeing him ever since.
His nurse is great, too. She tells it like it is, in a nice way, and is also wonderful with the kids.
Dr. Frend has made himself available whenever we’ve had a question or needed some advice. If he’s not available right away, his nurse will get back to you.

Dr. Frend is the pediatrician to both of my sons, now 4 years old and 2.5 years old and has been since birth. He is a really GREAT doctor. Always makes me feel 100% at ease and answers all of my questions with care and patience. He will even answer emails about non-​urgent matters within day or two.
Burbank Pediatrics is great after-​hours too. They alternate, sometimes with another doctor’s office, and we’ve gone to see a doctor outside of their office, as well as seen and spoken to Dr. Boxstein, and everyone we’ve dealt with is wonderful.
You honestly couldn’t find a better pediatrician than Dr. Frend.

Similar to Marie D., Dr. Frend has been my kid’s pediatrician since birth, only my kid is almost 2 as I write this. Marie covered everything, so I’ll just say it again. Burbank Pediatrics has the best staff, from the front office to the nurses. Dr. Frend clearly cares about his patients and knows how to handle the parents, too! We’ve also had to consult with Dr. Boxstein over the phone while Dr. Frend’s been away on vacation, and he’s accessible, as well.

Dr. Jeremy Frend at Burbank Pediatrics has been my son’s pediatrician since my son’s birth. (My kid’s 6 months now.) Dr. Frend is the absolute best, hands down!
While I was pregnant, I scheduled a FREE consultation with Dr. Frend. (Beware, not every doctor even offers a consultation and those that do sometimes charge for it!) I ended up not making my original appointment because I ended up going to the hospital (false alarm). Dr. Frend was concerned enough to call me personally and make sure everything was ok.
When I finally had my in-​person consultation with Dr. Frend, he was very patient in answering all my questions and very knowledgable. I like that he is totally not into over-​medicating and I never feel rushed during our appointments. He also has a great bedside manner and really cares for his patients.
One time, Dr. Frend even checked up on my son outside of office hours so that I wouldn’t have to make an appointment and have to pay the co-​pay. HE CARES THAT MUCH ABOUT HIS PATIENTS.
Dr. Frend and his nurses are always great about answering any questions I have when I call in during business hours. I’ve also called after-​hours and the doctor on call always returns my calls promptly.
The staff at Burbank Pediatrics are all friendly and professional. Parking is free, though there are a limited number of spots. I’ve never had a problem finding parking though.
For convenience, you can buy whatever medication you need for your kids right from the pediatrician’s office. This is super helpful so you don’t have to tow your kids around town to get what you need!
Here’s another (albeit completely unrelated) plus – the office is located like half a mile from Porto’s, so sometimes my son and I go to Porto’s afterwards to get our cheese roll fix. Yum.
