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.

Her “advice” lead us to Hospital
I would never trust her with my kids care or recommend her to anyone. She shamed me for not exclusively breastfeeding my daughter and when I switched from breastfeeding and pumping to bottle which worked fine. And I took her advice my daughter lost weight leading us to an extended hospital stay. If I ever have any other kids she will not touch them. We have left the practice because of her and the receptionist who lied to us on multiple occasions! Beware of Universal Pediatrics in Wellesley!!

I would not trust my two kids to anyone other than Dr. Stavitsky. The level of personal attention (yes, she picks up her cell phone 24x7 365 days per year) is unparalleled in the medical industry today.

Awesome practice and doctors. Effective, efficient, caring, friendly staff. Extremely knowledgeable and professional doctors. Dr. Stavitsky (Dr Milana as our kids lovingly call her) treats us (and all her patients) as if we were her family.

I have taken my children to Dr. Stavitsky since they were infants. My son is now 18, my daughter 11. My daughter was very premature and Dr. S. helped me through many issues in her first three years of life. One thing I love about the care my childten receive is that Dr.S not only thoroughly investigates the medical issues but also asks about our life in general and inqires about both children even though only one is being seen that appointment. As a single mom she always checks on how I am doing
