Health 4 Kidz Pediatrics

I took my son for the first visit to this office two month ago, the receptionist was quite friendly. But the forms she hand me was long. It took a while to fill out plus it was extremely difficult when the baby was being fuzzy.
We waited and called into the room. Waited again.
The staff came half an hour later and hand me other forms to fill out. Too a while. Then we waited again.
15minutes later another staff came in to take his weight and length. Afterwards the first staff that hand me the form came and speak to me, I told her we are here for the one year old vaccines and my son will need a blood test since his previous pediatrician already informed us that months ago. But she sounded surprised and said «for what?»
That’s fine, it immediately makes me think that blood test is no need.
After she left Dr Sarma came in, she was sick herself and had a soar throat, so only spent a few minutes with us.
Then we waited for the staff to come and give the shots. The procedure wasn’t quite well since his legs were bleeding from the needless. This is the first time he bleed so much from shots. And cried like no tomorrow.
Then we went outside and waited, the receptionist asked me if there is anything else since we are sitting there again, I then said I need to get the yellow immu card back. 20 minutes later the staff that gave shots finally gave me the card. There was only one patient before us. And they left more than an hour ago. No one else except us. The total visit took us 2 ½ hrs.
We are having a second visit again today, I was expecting a reminder call since the appointment was set a month ago, but it did not happen. I’m sure other doctors offices do give reminder calls.
I think we might need to change Doctors.
Let see what happens.

We absolutely love Dr. Sharma and her team.
We have been with them ever since the birth of our daughter 2 years ago. Dr. Sharma came to the hospital and took her time examining our baby, she made us feel very confident and good about our first born and gave us many tipps for the coming weeks.
Every time we where at her office she took her time to listen to our concerns, explain treatment or address concerns we had. She answered all our questions about development and behavior.
Her staff is friendly and nice, they where always very sweet to our daughter, giving her stickers and other things to keep her happy while taking her temperature/​hight/​weight.
The wait is usually short, between 10 and 15 min. There are toys and books in the waiting area as well as the examination rooms, which is great.
We always felt very comfortable with Dr. Sharma and her team.
There where several times where we needed to talk to Dr. Sharma in the middle of the night, we where always called back within minutes and she talked us through everything we needed to do/​know. What a comfort!
In this office everybody is treated friendly and with respect. I highly recommend Dr. Sharma!

I had quite bad experience at Dr. Sharma’s office. There are two issues. Long waiting time and the doctor and her staff appeared careless.
I visited Dr. Sharma’s office for 3 times so far. I waited for about 30 minutes before my son and I were called in at the first 2 visits. The first visit was the well baby check. It took me over 2 hours and half at the doctor’s place. The total time Dr. Sharma was with us was roughly 10 minutes. Most of time we were waiting, at the waiting room and inside. I was surprised a well baby check took that long.
The 2^nd visit was for immunizations. I was told it took only a few minutes on the phone when I made the appointment. However, it took me a little bit over 2 hours. Again we were waiting at the waiting room for about 30 minutes. Then we were called in and waited inside for long long time. The receptionist was right. The immunization itself only took a few minutes. I don’t understand why it took so long. The worst thing was my son was given the wrong immunization which he does not need at all! I found that out when I went back home and recorded his immunization.
The 3^rd time visit was for checking the skin reaction and other immunizations. The whole process was significantly shorter, 1 hour. This time we waited only about 15 minutes at the outside waiting room. Checking the skin took 5 seconds. Then we went inside and waited for the immunizations. I talked to Dr. Sharma about the wrong shot my son received at the 2^nd time. She said it does not matter to get an extra and she said her staff made mistakes when transferring the immunization record to the yellow card. She did not even apologize. That surprised me. I asked for a copy of the immunization record. We waited for roughly 10 – 15 minutes to get it. I thought the mistakes must be fixed. Surprised, I found the same and other mistakes.
What a disappointment! I would just find another pediatrician for my son.

Being new to the area, I was in need of a pediatrician for my oldest son and my soon to be newborn. I am so thankful to have found Dr. Sharma – she is an excellent doctor!
With a 7 yr gap between my 2 children I nearly forgot about all the care needed for a newborn – and the sleepless nights that came with it. Dr. Sharma has been there every step of the way to answer any questions that I may have. Not only does she answer my questions, but she always gives me an explanation to help me understand. I really appreciate that she takes her time with each of her patients to make sure that all questions and concerns are covered. I am also very pleased with how she follows up on both of my kids.
I have to admit, when Dr. Sharma suggested eliminating my son’s early morning feeding, which occurred at 2am, I was a bit nervous. I did not know how my son would react as, like all babies, he is very punctual about his feedings and the last thing I wanted at 2am was a fussy, hungry baby. Nonetheless, I took her advice. I set up a bedtime routine and within 3 days, my son was sleeping though his 2 am feeding – not to mention, I was actually getting some sleep! My son is now 8 weeks old and has been sleeping through the night for about 3 weeks. He is a very healthy and happy baby, which means I am a happy mommy!

I’m a new mother with a 12 day old baby girl and my OB is the one who picked out Dr. Sharma for my baby. And I really am glad that she did! I am very happy with her knowledge of how to care for babies and her smiles and caring nature. I hope that we continue to have such great experiences throughout my daughters childhood visits with Dr. Sharma. Very happy with her services :)

Dr. Sharma is excellent. She takes her time, is very caring and always makes time for you to ask as many questions as you need. Her exams never feel rushed. Her office staff is very professional, well organized and knowledgeable. We have two kids that have been going to this office, a five-​year-​old and a 10-​month-​old; and we have been with Dr. Sharma since our first was born.

I’m a new mom. As in, counting hours & days vs. weeks/​months. I knew from my research that Dr. Sharma is who I wanted to treat my son, but I got confused about how to assign the pediatrician before my child arrived.
Thankfully, Dr. Sharma was available and spoke with me in the hospital moments after I was wheeled into the recovery room following an unplanned c-​section to tell me how my son was. She checked in on him daily and performed his circumcision on his 3^rd day of life, which fell on a Saturday. She wanted to follow-​up on the procedure in 2 days, at her office on Monday (in my experience — yikes! That means a same-​day appointment on Monday… Good luck!).
Saturday being my first night home with my son was difficult, and Sunday was almost moreso. I felt like I was thrown in the river without a paddle. My mom thought she’d see if my concerns could be addressed first thing (before business hours) on Monday. The next thing I know, Dr. Sharma is on the phone talking me through my concerns. Then later that day, she had time for all my in-​person new mom questions and welcomed them with an assuring smile.
Great doctor, great office (with separate sick and well entrances — yay!) and above all, the personal touch that is completely priceless.

Dr. Sharma is a genuine and caring professional. I was impressed with her experience and the thorough procedures of her well baby exam. She took the time to answer all our questions and we have the assurance she is available for any concerns in the future. Her office is bright and cheery, along with the pleasant and willing to help office staff.

I brought my grandson for his 2 year check up to Dr Sharma and was so grateful to receive her common sense solutions to some my grandsons issues.
She is patient an gave me so many wonderful suggestions to my grandsons sleeping habits.
She also put my mind at ease with so many things I worried about and according to Dr Sharma are non issues.
I strongly recommend her a as great pediatrician!

Granting one star to Dr. Sharma is far too generous. When I went in for my first (and last) visit with my newborn baby she told me that she should be tracking me with her eyes at 2 weeks old. The truth is that babies begin tracking around 1 – 2 months of age, not just 14 days outside of the womb! This is just one example of Dr. Sharma’s lack of precision and knowledge on babies and their developmental milestones. If she doesn’t understand even the most basic milestones for babies then there’s more than a good chance that she won’t understand how to advise on more complicated issues as they arise.

Do NOT go to this pediatrician! this woman gives the most absurd advice! where do I start? I have so many examples! Here is one: At my son’s 8 week visit she asked me if my son was sleeping through the night yet so I told her no, that he still wakes up about every 4 hours for a feeding [I am breastfeeding]. Her response was that he should be sleeping through the night and that I should let him cry it out and not wake up to feed him. She said that he should be sleeping from at least 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. the whole way through. When I voiced some hesitation towards her advice, she proceeded to say that I was the parent and asked what would I do when he is a teenager and asks to smoke pot? Ridiculous! I think an 8 week old is rather young to be «crying it out» when he wakes up for a feeding. Plus, I later learned from my new pediatrician that it is perfectly normal for a breastfed baby to wake up for at least 1 feeding during the night. Trust my review, do not go to this woman! Suffice it to say that I finally switched.
