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.

Dr. dos Santos (Dr. Stephanie) & Dr. Rivera could not run a better practice! Very experienced (over 60 years combined between them both) and function together very well as a team. We love taking our daughter there. We actually look forward to our appointments lol! *Rated NJ Best doctors* They educate their parents and patients well, they listen to your concerns, and reassure you. She is very good at helping when your child is struggling in any aspect of development-emotional, social, physical, education goals, mentorship....I believe I have seen it all. The best qualities I found with Dr. Stephanie is she is easy to talk to, is extremely thorough and her approach is family-centered care. She takes the time to assess the family dynamic-is welcoming to meeting all members living in the house or around your child because that affects her patient. She welcomed us to bring our friend/babysitter to involve her in my daughter’s care, what an excellent idea. I love it!!

This is interesting. My co worker recommended Dr. Dos Santos. I figured I would call and have a conversation before making the PCP change, since I am not completely satisfied with my current pediatrician. I spent 10 seconds on the phone before being told Dr Dos Santos is too busy to speak to me about my daughters needs. Shes too busy???? ok, no problem.

This is the perfect doctor! Yes the waiting room time maybe long but that’s because she spend a lot of time with each child she sees. My son is 2months and I didn’t like his doctor we switched to dr dossantos and I’m so happy I did she spent 45 mins in our appointment and then called me the same night to make sure I understood everything we spoke about having to do with my sons acid reflux ! She’s awesome ! Exactly what I was looking for

She is excellent and caring to my children, they absolutely love her. BUT the wait time is excessive, both in the waiting room and on the phone waiting to schedule an appointment.
