Ivy League Pediatrics

I was taking my kids here for about a year and most visits they would see Dr. Una. She was always wonderful with them and would make my children feel comfortable.
However when Dr. Una was on pregnancy leave, I had to bring my daughter in for a sick visit. I was told over the phone that she would be seeing another doctor which of course I was ok with since I needed her to be seen. I forgot his name but he was a middle aged African man (he had a heavy accent so I assume that’s what what he was.)
What a horrific experience! He introduced himself to me and didn’t even acknowledge my daughter. He did not smile not even once. He was very basic and short on answering my questions. When it came down to doing the exam, he told me to put my child up on the table. So I did and of course my 4 year old was apprehensive and he did nothing to help. He just stood there with a blank stare waiting for me to settle her down. When he came close to check her vitals and whatever else doctor’s do, my daughter was scared, crying, and moving around a lot. The doctor obviously started getting frustrated and breathed heavy a couple times. Of course she reacted that way since he never acknowledged her from the start! Plus with the expression-​less face, and careless attitude, I’m sure she was scared of him. Even I felt a bit scared of him! Then to top it of, my mother brought in my son for a sick visit and had an identical experience!
If my kids saw Dr. Una every visit, I’d consider still bringing them here. But the juggling between careless doctors and nurse practitioners I cannot do. I’ll be finding another kid friendly office.

I love Dr Una and her staff… they are very friendly and you can Stella they truly care about patients.

New in town and was impressed by the website. I have taken both my son and daughter here. I didn’t feel like the doctors or nurses took the time to really talk to the kids to make them feel comfortable. It was a very routine and basic exam. My concerns and questions were answered on a surface level, and I just didn’t feel good about both of their appointments. During our daughters appointment we saw Dr. Una. During the second appointment for my son Dr. Una wasn’t in and we saw a nurse practitioner. I would have liked some notice regarding the doctor not being in. The front desk ladies were unfriendly both times we had gone there. I guess we will be looking for another pediatrician.

My 13 month old son has been coming here since he was one month. We love how quick we are in and out and how Dr. Una takes care of us.
