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.

Love our Pediatrician

Marina Velickovic is one of the best pediatricians I have ever seen. It makes my kids feel comfortable. She is very good with children. She researches the patient's condition from many places and follows up very well.

I took my son to get his annual check-up with her (only because his regular doctor at Pedimedica was not available). She rushed through the exam and when she pressed my son's stomach and asked if it hurt and he said yes, she ignored him and said he was fine. Then she insisted that he get his 2nd shot of MMR, which I told her he has never been required to have by his previous and current schools because his Titer blood test in 2017 showed he was immune (which even the nurse noticed on his records and told her). She then told me that she wouldn't sign off on his form because NJ law required the 2nd shot of MMR. I even looked up Holly's Law that was put into NJ law in 2004 to tell her I wasn't making up what I was saying. She stated that I didn't know NJ law and she knew better. She was a complete bully and refused to listen to me as to why I didn't feel comfortable about giving my son the MMR vaccine. She is the worst kind of doctor you could go to.

I recently saw Dr. Velickovic and was very happy with my experience. I was squeezed into the schedule at the last min because my 12 mo old was very sick and struggling to breath well. I am healthcare Provider as well, and am aware that having a very sick patient squeezed into you last evening appointment is always dreaded ... this being said, I never once felt rushed. Dr. Velickovic was patient, thorough, & unbelievably helpful. Also, every staff member was incredible -- I am truly grateful

Very abrupt! My 8 year old daughter says she is mean and rude. She lacked patience with my daughter. We have seen her at least 4 times as the covering pediatrician. She rushes through and cuts you off when speaking. We visited recently and she referred my daughter to a specialist which according to the specialist there was nothing wrong and could have been taken care of at the pediatricians office.

Be sure that your child is very sick before you see the doctor or be ready to get trivialized! Be ready for doctor to make assumptions about how you feed and care for the child. And be ready to ask many questions so the doctor explains what's wrong with the child. i have seen this doctor for few enough times to confidently say that I will choose to see her only in case of an emergency of I will either wait to see another doctor or drive away 40 mins to a different one.
