Visit our pediatric office
Pediatric Associates offers a warm, kid-friendly environment designed to ease anxiety and make every visit comfortable for both children and parents.
Behavioral health
About 3 times more boys than girls are diagnosed with ADHD. See how our pediatrician can determine a treatment plan to help your child lead a happy and healthy life.
Virtual visits
Not every health concern needs a trip to the doctor’s office. With the KidzDocNow app, your child can see a pediatrician with a video appointment right from the comfort of home.
After hours & weekend visits
We’re here for the sniffles, fevers, and “uh-oh” moments—even on evenings and weekends.

she turned a month-long struggle into a simple, stress-free solution in minutes—truly remarkable!
I want to take a moment to recognize and sincerely thank Melinda Dolce, the medical receptionist at Pediatric Associates in Aventura. For over a month, I had been calling the referral department repeatedly, trying to get a referral for my son, and it had become incredibly frustrating. I was feeling overwhelmed and honestly unsure of how I would get it resolved. Then I reached out to Melinda, and she completely changed my experience. From the moment I spoke with her, she was professional, attentive, and extremely understanding of my situation. She didn’t just listen—she took immediate action. Within just 10 minutes, she had everything sorted and my referral was taken care of. I was amazed at how quickly and efficiently she handled what had been such a stressful process for me. I am so grateful for her assistance she turned a month-long struggle into a simple, stress-free solution in minutes—truly remarkable! Thank you, Melinda, for your patience, efficiency, and kindness. You are an absolute asset to Pediatric Associates and a shining example of what excellent customer service looks like.
