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.

Terrible bedside manners to my child
Right away he was yelling at my kid saying she must have mental problems and neurology problems and saying she’s not normal and I said she was afraid of doctors like most kids and he was saying “what’s wrong with this kid she’s 8 and too old to be scared she must have a mental problem and borderline autistic “ when he’s not a professional in that field.

One of the best!
My kids are all grown and continued to go to Dr. P until their 20’s. We all wished they could go longer! He is patient, kind, thorough and doesnt over prescribe. We miss him and I wouldnt hesitate to use him as your pediatrician. He’s the best!

Office Staff Quality has declined over the years
My son has been going to Dr. P since he was born in 2010. Dr. P is great. Always accommodating and helpful but over the years, his office staff has changed. They are rude and not helpful.

A caring doctor
We found him to be a caring doctor. I want to say thank you to him as he was patient in answering questions and was concerned for our child's health.

BEST PEDIATRICIAN EVER!
He's a great doctor! So great that I used to be his patient, and now my daughter is his patient. He truly cares about his patients and builds meaningful relationships with parents and children alike. He has a very funny and positive personality and is always so helpful and soothing. He treats you like family. The nurses Sonia and Monica are also great and friendly! His front desk staff, not so much, but you learn to ignore them because Dr. P is that great!

My daughter's been his patient for over 20 years, and I can say he's the best physician I've ever known. Always available to speak with me no matter when I called, kind and gentle with my daughter. Great instincts, very knowledgeable.

Can't give him a "negative" star, but would if I could. Doesn't communicate well and has parents worried about possible illnesses just because of his instinct, which is wrong. Staff is very friendly but the Dr. needs to learn how to communicate and explain things better, rather than leave the parents in suspense. Also, try to get to know your patients better. That would go a long way.
