Community Pediatric Medical Group

I’ve always been pleased with the care my children have received from all of the physicians at CP but my most recent experience has lead me to write a review because I feel like the service I’ve received has been above and beyond. Cookie, the office manager, is on top of things, and helped me sort out an issue with my HMO while awaiting a rather urgent authorization. She was prompt with return calls and within minutes she had an authorization number for us to use to see the specialist. When the specialist couldn’t fit us in, our pediatrician Dr Spiegel, called on my behalf and spoke with the specialist who agreed to see us sooner. I can not say enough good things about this group. I feel like they really take each patient’s needs into account and go above and beyond to make sure our children get timely care.

The office staff is unhelpful. The right hand does not speak to the left, so when you call and get information, the information is incorrect, and the staff then treats you like an idiot when you go in. I would never want them to be inolved in the care of my child!

It is the best medical care I have ever experienced.
I was referred by my neighbor when we had our first child. Their children had been there from birth through college. They have been excellent, always take as much time as needed, have seen my kids same day (even first thing in the morning when you usually find your kids needing attention), return calls immediately at all hours and have a great support staff in the office. They always seem to appreciate my minutiae of information and they oblige my paranoia. My kids and family feel so comfortable with them and it feels as though they care as much as I do for them.
They are awesome. You grow to appreciate your doctors when they have been there with you through some of the scariest events as a parent.

I have been taking my daughters to Community Pediatrics for eight years. We’ve had nothing but positive experiences. You can always get in same day, they always return calls, and the doctors really care about kids. I have referred them to several friends and they are always happy with their choice.

I saw some positive reviews with the group, but I would like to share one true story. Due to the irrepsonbile diagnosis from Dr. Scherr, my son was sent to CHLA Emergency Room and stayed at ICU for nearly 10 days!!! The other doctor from this office was even shocked by Dr. Scherr’s diagnosis.
I understand my experience might be unusual. But, the parents, please choose other providers if you could.

Community pediatrics has amazing doctors! I take both my children there and have never had any problems. All the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve never had issues getting my sick kids in on the same day and they never make me feel like a paranoid parent. They always validate my feelings and expression everything in a very professional manner.

Thank you everyone for taking the time to post their experience for this medical group. This place really rocks and Dr. Scherr sure made an excellent impression. Just wished this place’s had a way to contact doctors online and even though their website seems very nice, it lacks certain important things. It states to call the office for an appointment or request an online one, yet there is no button that takes you there or an email where you could that? Yet, I do have to say as soon as I called for an appointment, they were able to give me on very quickly. The staff seemed very nice (which can be rare now days) and the environment seemed kid friendly. I feel great to be in a place where people are nice and to have a doctor that loves children.

I’d love to give this 5 stars, because Dr. Heather Cornett is amazing!!! However, the staff lacks. They seemed very eager to make initial (first visit) appointments, but are very lackadaisical about any other. I called Cookie and left 2 VM’s in reference to a referral. We are now 3 weeks later and I have yet to receive a returned call. I had to call back and get the answers from a rare helpful member of the staff. I have also called and left a message for the records department, this was now 5 days ago and yet no call back. This is involving pediatrics — YOUNG children. The lack of response and urgency is disturbing. Again, they seemed very accommodating initially, but not so much anymore. I also think that forcing someone to leave a call back number that accepts blocked calls makes sense if you’re requesting a call back from a doctor who may be calling from a personal cell phone or other line. But to receive a call back from the front desk to make an appointment? Really?
The doctors of this office should require more of their staff than they do. If Dr Cornett changes offices, I’m following her!

If there was one thing that really gave me pause about moving away from the Conejo Valley, it was that we wouldn’t be able to have our kids treated by the excellent doctors at Community Pediatric. Dr. Goldstine was my kids’ main doctor and while he is great, the other doctors at this office are pretty awesome too.

Lots of physicians to choose from. I have always been treated well here. All 5 kids have been going here for years. We try NOT to go into the doctor’s office, but the staff is wonderful when it’s that time for a shot…
I’ve also been to the Moorpark office and have had a great experience there as well.

«Dr.» Goldstein is largely responsible for the destruction of my college years, and very possibly my life. I’ve been a patient here since I was 5, usually seeing Dr. Greene, whom I have kind words for and has only a small role in this tragedy. 2 years ago, when I was 18, Goldstein made the unwarranted and ignorant decision to prescribe a kid Propecia, or finesteride. That kid, obviously, was me. And within a month of that appointment I was caught in a mental and physical fight for my life. In the strong likelihood that you are unfamiliar with the woes of post-​finesteride syndrome, feel free to read up on the wide variety of seemingly unrelated but very real symptoms, including impotence and apathy, that can transform any man’s life into a comprehensive, suicidal hell-​on-​earth. As a specialist in male hormones, I would safely assume Goldstein to have some understanding of the dangers implicit in a drug that dramatically alters an array of androgens and other critical hormones. The potential for these dangers is compounded when considering the hormonally fragile state of a maturing teenager. Obviously, Goldstein is lightyears out from being an expert in his field. While he continues to live off the salary of a doctor practicing in an affluent suburb, I’ll keep fighting tooth and nail to sort out what to do with a life completely and entirely void of pleasure, emotion, drive and desire.

Dr. William Greene returned my call within 5 mins of leaving an urgent message re: giving my daughter the proper dosage of infant tylenol. This was absolutely appreciated seeing that I reside on the east coast and couldn’t get a hold of my doctor after business hours. Dr. Greene was very sweet, demonstrated concern and was very professional. THANK YOU!

Dr Greene is the physician for both of kids. He is very good. This group is well run. If you live in Westake, TO, Moorpark or Simi Valley, you won’t go wrong with Community Pediatric Medical group.

Went here for first 2 years because office was mentioned by OB/​GYN and we had no other referrals. Office staff is ignores calls, transfers you to voicemail to make an appointment, never calls back, and even ignores (and looks bothered) when you try to make a next appointment in the office. Since day one, we have been unhappy with the office staff (doctors are fine, just the office staff, but no way to avoid them!!!) Didn’t have time to go looking for another doctor, but our last visit was the end for me. given a crazy dirty room and we always come home with some sort of illness! Found Dr. Peter Antall’s office in Thousand Oaks and are not looking back!!! Dr. Antall is the way to go!

We love the Doctors and nurses at Community Pediatrics. Our kids have been going here since infancy and we can’t imagine entrusting their medical care with any other facility. Communication with the doctors is great, and they are always good with the kids. They take time to answer any and all questions– we never feel rushed out of a room like you do with some doctors. Dr. Greene and Dr. Nudelman are our faves, but we’ve seen all the others as well and wouldn’t hesitate to be seen by one of them. The front office girls are sometimes chatty among themselves, but always offer a smile when you come in. If you ever have an issue with insurance, leave it to «Cookie» to handle … she’s the best! Bring your kids to this office and you won’t be dissappointed in the care they receive.

The dox here are the best. Dr. Sherr (brother of Ray Scherr of Guitar Center fame) is tops and we know him as «dokka sure». Drs. Greene and Goldstein are fantastic… you can’t go wrong with this bunch!

After switching from 3 others doctors I really love this group of doctors. They really spend time with the kids and care. It sometimes is hard to talk to a person since you usually have to leave a message, but it’s only because they are so popular! A few of the male doctors are corky but everyone loves them. I’d recommend to anyone
