Reshma Gulati Aggarwal, MD

We have been seeing Dr. Aggarwal since my infant son was born and find her to be extremely knowledgeable and trustworthy.
She is very caring and attentive and presents the benefits and risks to any treatment that she prescribes. She is not over-​zealous when it comes to medicating and supports our decision to try more natural approaches before resorting to pharmaceutical options. She has also supported our decision to vaccinate according to an alternate schedule so that we could see if our child had any vaccine reactions to err on the side of caution.
I especially appreciate Dr. Aggawal’s patience with first time parents. She never rushes us out of her office, is very thorough when answering our questions and addresses any concerns honestly and objectively while still empathizing with her patients as she’s a parent herself.
I have recommended her to every local mom I know because I consider her to be the best pediatrician in the area. We couldn’t have found a better doctor for our son.

My daughter is two years old and has been seeing Dr. Aggarwal since she was born.
She wasn’t her initial doctor the first week she was born. Another pediatrician that examined her in the hospital when she was born recommended that since she was frank breech to get an ultra sound ASAP.
When I took my daughter to Dr. Aggarwal, she did notice that she had a click in her hip and recommended I took her an orthopedic doctor.
Dr. Aggarwal is a great Pediatrician and is very personable. She’s very young, which I think is a benefit since she isn’t a robot when dealing with your precious jewel in the world. I am «one of those moms» who has a list of written down questions for every appointment. A mom who makes and requests calls every time my baby cries, and Dr. Aggarwal returns my calls every single time and will talk to me until I am absolutely comfortable with the situation.
She has seen my daughter through several ear infections and more than several rounds of antibiotics.
I have PPO insurance, and can choose any pediatrician I choose to go to. I also moved away from Long Beach, and still continue to go to Dr. Aggarwal.
THE ONLY PROBLEM: The office waiting time. Sometimes it takes up to an hour to be seen, even if you have made an appointment. They are pretty good about taking you in same day if you need to, but you have to expect a long waiting time when you do.
IN CONCLUSION: Dr. Aggarwal is great. Office waiting time, not so great.

Finding the right pediatrician can make for a challenging task coupled with having a child who’s a chronic asthmatic since the age of 3yrs. My child is now 16yrs old so I’ve clearly experienced my fair share of pediatricians who were incompetent yet pompous and had no clue how to treat my daughter especially when she requires more than the average attention and medical expertise.
I have a different opinion when it comes to Dr. Aggarwal, she is likely the BEST Pediatrician I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with for my daughters medical care. We’ve had the pleasure of working with Dr. Aggarwal for a few years now.
I love that she speaks directly to my child and not at her. To say she is thorough when explaining my child’s symptoms and prescribed medications would be an understatement! We never feel rushed during our visits. She is so incredibly intelligent and seems to have the most applicable analogies when speaking to my child who is always in a crabby mood from feeling ill.
I am not a fan of medications, and dr knows this, we always carefully discuss my child’s medications and I honestly feel this dr only prescribes medications when they’re absolutely medically required to get my daughters asthma under control. I wish I could say the same for some of our past physicians.
Service
Her staff consistently provides excellent customer service, Ive observed them to be very kind and patient with parents and children of all ages. Patient rooms look brand new and are always well maintained. Immaculately CLEAN 5stars!
Parking is FREE, in the event you cant find parking in their lot… Not to worry head down to the underground parking which I actually prefer in the winter when its cold out with a sick child. Easy access to the office via the elevators. Located on the third floor.
There are two waiting rooms; The Well Room and The Ill Room, depending on your visit, love it. Each waiting room is nicely decorated for the kiddies with a beautiful fish tank and two flat screen TV’s displaying Disney classics!
Patient age group– Infants –18 years of age.
I highly recommend Dr. Aggarwal to all the new or experienced Mommies in the area looking for a Pediatrician they can trust. I only wish we met her sooner. I will continue to be a satisfied client of Dr. Aggarwal’s for the next two years!
