Gables Pediatrics

By far, the best pediatric facility in miami! They have a state of the art practice and a wonderful and knowledgable team. We love Dr. Toledo-​Valedo! She is very patient, never rushes, and thoroughly takes her time with each patient. We are very happy with the care our daughter Olivia receives.

Love drew stoudt, great doctor. He spends all the time you need and you don’t feel rushed. He is wonderful with our child and you can tell he genuinely enjoys what he is doing. Waits can be a bit long and waiting room could be improved a bit. Otherwise I highly recommend.

Pros: Location, parking (except during the holidays), Dr. Stoudt is energetic and knowledgeable
Cons: Beyond reasonable call wait/​hold time, busy = sometimes lengthy wait times
Trying to make an appointment at this location was a PROCESS to say the least — until I realized that emailing them got me relatively quick responses and [DOUBLE PLUS] no need to listen to 30 — 45 min of hold music only to be hung up on by accident and have to do it all over again.
While when it comes to anything involving my son or medical care in general I prefer to speak to someone, there are surprisingly limited options for pediatricians in this area. Don’t get me wrong, I am sure that there are a lot of great pediatricians in Miami. But as a newbie to the city I don’t have friends and family to turn to and have to rely on Unilocal to steer me in the right direction.
If I lived somewhere else, I’d likely not stick with this practice due to the administrative challenge of making appointments, getting fast responses to questions, etc. But I’ve yet to find a better option and at the end of the day, they’ve provided my son with good care every time we’ve been there.

Dr. Erdmann has been my daughter’s pediatrician since birth. I recommend him to everyone. He is always a joy to visit. He is a modern doc that always puts our worries at ease in addition to always having a cure. I cannot stress how great of a person/​Doctor he is!
As for the office and staff… It could get really packed in the waiting room. It’s a bit small considering the amount of patients this practice has but modern and clean nonetheless. The staff could be a bit more friendly but for the most part they are fine.
Lastly… And the only negative can be the wait. Once you’re in the room you could be waiting a while so don’t expect to be in and out here.

I take my little ones to Doctor Saca at gables pediatrics and they love her! She always goes above and beyond for our family, and are blessed to have her as our pediatrician. She is detailed, knowledgable, patient, and has a great bed side manner. I highly recommend her to any new patient to the practice! She does a great job explaining complicated matters in simple terms for the parents which is nice for mom and dad!

I’m happy to say that my daughter is in the best hands with Dr. Jimenez! He is simply amazing. He’s great with her and takes his time. He explains everything in details to me and always listen to my concerns. The staff is great too. When I’ve called to have my daughter seen that same day, I’ve never had an issue. She is always seen and in a timely manner. Carmen is amazing too. When I call the office, I usually speak to her about any symptoms the baby has and she always has a suggestion to better the symptoms until she can be seen. They are truly the best.

Trying to make an appointment here is ridiculous. The girl that’s in charge of appointments never answers the phone.

This review is mostly for the staff. Basically: if you want to make an appointment, you may have terrible luck doing so by phone. My experience is that I get a voice mail indicating that there is high call volume, or that there is a 1.5-hour lunch break during which no phone calls are taken, or that I should leave a message and that my call will be returned. When I return the call later, they are closed 20 minutes before their official close of business. In short, this practice apparently does not hurt for patients.

Doctors are nice but the office staff is horrendous. We have been taking our daughters here for three years. Office staff is horrible with customer service. Doctors take too long and you always wait too long even when you have an appointment.

As with every doctor/​pediatrician I have ever been to, there is of course a wait. BUT, that being said, this place is excellent. The set-​up is great and the rooms are incredibly clean. The doctors are fantastic — I have known Jaime Edelstein and Efren Salinero for years and they are the best pediatricians around.
I have at one time or another since my daughter was born seen every doctor in this group and I can say they are all so good, make me feel so comfortable, answer all of my questions. If I ever need something or have a question, Dr. Edelstein gets back to me right away.
We moved back to Miami from New Jersey and I was so concerned because the pediatrician up there told me some very inaccurate information about a birthmark on my daughter’s body but Dr. Edelstein thoroughly checked her and reassured me that she was healthy!
Bonus that the location is fantastic — always indoor parking out of the rain :-).

I took my son to this vaccine reseller and was told that mercury was safe and sooner vs. later made no difference re: autism. Guess what, the two studies quoted were the ones discussed in following articles:
1)
2)
When I asked i the vaccines were tested for safety I was told that they were.
NO STUDY HAS BEEN DONE on the cumulative vaccine schedule, and vaccines are tested one at a time. He conducted his own experiment on my kid and gave many in a single day. Some the same week as getting ABX. As it turns out many toxins are far worse when combined.
And if you don’t do what they say, they throw you out of the practice! Even after damaging my son he wanted to keep vaccinating. He told me he knows best because he has many autistic kids in his practice. Yeah, I’ll bet!
This practice injured my son, and I cant even sue because… you can’t sue for vaccine injury! Watch this…

These are the best pediatricians in Miami. We have been going here since our daughter was born on 2001.
Our pediatrician at Gables Pediatrics is Dr. Jimenez; I couldn’t ask for a better doctor for my daughter. He always spends as much time as possible with us, answers our questions and has a wonderful relationship with kids! I’ve seen all the other doctors here too; when my daughter was sick and the first available doctor was not always Doctor Jimenez. The other doctors are nice and I like them a lot, but Dr. Jimenez is the best. Don’t get me wrong: all the doctors here are great.

Worst place to try to get in!!!
Staff is unable to help, unable to answer question, not reachable. Phone wait time is more than 30 min to transfer you to a person where you have to leave a message that says to call back the main number ! Main number tells you that they don’t accept walk in! Will never go there !!!

Mi hija ha sido atendida por el doctor Joaquin Jimenez desde que nacio hasta hoy que tiene 17 años. Hay veces que hemos tenido que esperar mas de dos horas pero las doy por bien empleadas porque el doctor Jimenez es uno de los mejores medico que conozco. En cuanto al resto creo que forman un gran equipo y la clinica funciona muy bien. Asi que gracias por habre cuidado de mi hija durante todos estos años.

My kids were new patients at this office. I have completed all the paperwork and insurance before making any appointments, just to make sure all is super ready. This morning I called right at 8:30am to make an appointment for 2 super sick kids. The receptionist picked up and transferred me to Ms. Lucy’s voicemail. I called again, I was told he is not in [that’s at around 8:45 — 9am] and she will call me back asap. I received a call back at 9:45am. I explained we have a very sudden and very painful ear infection and a baby with a prolonged cold and I would like an apt asap. She said either now or in the afternoon. I picked ‘now’ — 10:15am and double made sure we will be seen within 15 min.
When we got to the office everyone was nice. We waited over an hour in the waiting room (I was then told it’s normal to wait AT LEAST an hour} and another 20 minutes in the exam room for the doctor.
When I was complaining about the wait pointing to my constantly crying toddler, who was visibly in major pain, I was told they have walk-​ins they need to accommodate too.
Dr Stoudt was nice and fairly attentive. Has a good way with kids, but the wait time, and especially the fact that it seems to be the norm, is absolutely unacceptable!

I highly recommend the services of Gables Pediatrics. My doctor is Drew Stoudt and he is very thorough and very gentle with my baby.
The staff is very efficient and organized and I rarely have to wait more than 20 minutes when I have an appointment. I have also walked in with an emergency and also waited about 20 minutes to be seen.
They also offer infant patients the first appointment of the day (these spots are especially reserved for them) which is great for those first few months.

After trying several Peds here I Miami this is the one i like best! I love the environment, very clean office I like dr Edman his very nice and answers all questions waiting time is about 45mins: s and how convenient are the shops around it I love coming here. Only bad thing is the parking you have to go up stairs or down stairs there’s no parking on the same floor I guess is just how the parking is set up but is not good if you go with a stroller and the elevators way too slow omg and another bad thing is when you want to make an appoiment they never answer the phone they either call you back or write them an email which is better but overall is a nice office and the one I will be coming back

This is as good as it gets!
Gables Pediatrics is open Monday through Friday and on Saturday mornings for emergencies.
I’ve seen a couple of the doctors at this practice and they are fantastic. They answer all of your questions and really take their time with each patient.
They have two waiting areas in the lobby– one for healthy kids, another for sick.
There is a lab on site. Super convenient!
They are not antibiotic happy like other doctors seem to be.
They are located on the 3^rd floor of Merrick Park. Covered, secure and easy parking.
The doctors and/​or pediatric nurses are available over the phone ²⁴⁄₇. This has saved us from having to go in just for a couple of questions.

These are the best pediatricians in Miami. We have been going here since our son was born.
Our pediatrician at Gables Pediatrics is Dr. Jimenez; I couldn’t ask for a better doctor for my baby. He always spends as much time as possible with us, answers our questions and has a wonderful rapport with kids! He even makes my 4 year old laugh after a shot. I’ve seen all the other doctors here too, when my son was sick and the first available doctor was not always doctor Jimenez. The other doctors are nice and I like them a lot, but Dr. Jimenez is by far the best. Don’t get me wrong: all the doctors here are great.
The staff is really nice, and whenever I have a late night worry, I call them and within 10 or 15 minutes one of the doctors or nurses call me back.
Another really great thing here is the artwork on the walls (see the Unilocal photo). Amazing, trippy kids designs. I love looking at them when I go in. I tried to find the artist who does the designs so I could mention his/​her name but I couldn’t find it.
I’m really picky about things for my son but Gables Pediatrics has gone above and beyond my expectations.
