Simi Pediatrics

Horrible front desk absolutely rude they have left me in rooms several times forgetting about me. Dr Tashmen is sweet but really I think they should fire the entire staff as I have never had a good experience with them in the last two years. I’m moving on at this point.

Love, love this place! We went last week for the first time for my almost 5 year old son’s appointment with DR. Brooks! Dr. Brooks is absolutely amazing! The BEST! I wish we knew about him when my kids were younger. We just recently changed doctors.
DR. Brooks is very attentive, detailed, genuine and kind. My son was so nervous about his appointment and getting shots but DR. Brooks put him right at ease. He made my son laugh & explained what was going to happen each step of the way. I also felt we weren’t just another number but very well taken care of.
Support Staff was great too. Loved the nurse and the front office staff.
Location is great. Easy access to freeway & free parking!
Highly recommend Dr. Brooks!

I read the reviews, and noticed the office staff has changed. The ladies at the front desk are super sweet and took great care of me! I had no wait to get an appointment, and felt they were very competent and also knew how to bill correctly my new health insurance.
My teenage daughter saw Dr. Tashman and was very comfortable and so happy! We have been coming for years and love Dr. Brooks!!!

What is up with the front desk??? These girls are so rude all the time. They make it too obvious that they hate their job! I’ve never seen them smile. How sad, poor girls. I’ve been coming here for 8 months and finally decided to move on with a new pediatrician. I had been seeing Dr. Tashman, she’s super sweet. However, I do so much research and I didn’t feel like she was too knowledgeable with babies. One of a few examples: she didn’t know breast milk is sweet and was shocked when I told her?! She gave me a prescription for vitamin D, not knowing if my baby needed it, simply because some babies have a deficiency. I never gave it to my baby, she’s doing amazing. I wish I didn’t have to switch because she’s actually really nice but I need to feel more comfortable knowing she knows babies. The nurses are ok, there’s only one I feel is nice and likes kids, the others seem as miserable as the front desk girls. I won’t miss dealing with the front desk!

Dr tashman is kind and friendly. The front desk is horrible. Unprofessional and unfriendly. Bad mouthing clients in ear shot. They don’t listen to you when you ask to contact the dr. they give you their opinion on the matter instead. WHAT! The red head is extremely rude and short when she is talking to you. I would stay but they are awful.

The staff here (especially the red head at the front) are terrible at their jobs!!! They’re super confrontational, combative and unhelpful. I’ve seen doctor Dober, he’s a condiscending ahole. Dr Tashman is way to quiet and seems unsure of herself which worries me. Total of three visits and by far the worst pediatric practice all the way around.

Ok, the only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because of the front office staff. They are often rude, and unfriendly. Especially the older long gray haired woman, she never smiles, and on two separate occasions, I have heard her badmouthing clients to other staff, within full earshot of patients in the waiting room. I have worked as a receptionist at medical offices before, and would NEVER act that unprofessionally! They are abrupt on the phone when you call, and have completely ignored us after we have come out from having our daughter’s shots, and not offered a smile or even a little sticker to ease my kiddo’s crying from the shots. I like Dr. Tashman, always friendly and sweet, and thorough with our 2 year old. Not a fan of Dr. Patton, she is unfriendly and does not like to answer questions at all!

I love the staff here and the doctors are always so helpful and supportive! It’s a great practice!

We have been going here for 6 months now and I really like this office. The ladies at the front desk are always helpful and nice. It’s very easy to get an appointment. We usually go to Dr Tashman but we have seen Dr Brooks too. Dr Tashman is sweet, she always makes my son laugh and really makes his appointment go smooth. He’s 6 months old and every time we go it’s for shots so I appreciate her extra effort in making him comfortable. She’s very gentle and very helpful.
