Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best pediatritian in Pittsburgh! She is very thorough, thoughtful, considerate and their practice is inclusive and diverse. She takes time to get to know each family, cares deeply about the children in her care and this review is a long time coming. We see other pediatritians there too, like Dr. Sam and she is amazing too! My son was born in a snow storm with a heart condition and she arrived in the morning to check on him and returned the next day....in really awful weather, she calculates his med doses and always triple checks, researches, and confers with drs for my kids care. we love her. we have friends that started going and they love her too!

Dr. Udekwu has been our family pediatrician since the birth of my oldest daughter. She is a wonderful person and doctor who has been there for us in countless ways. Her love for her patients is very evident and our kids love her. I couldn't imagine our kids seeing another doctor. The Catullo Family
