appointment availability.
I’m grateful for appointment availability. Office looks very clean. Front desk and check out was very welcoming. Vital signs, weight and height nurse (I’m bad with names 😔) was very sweet. This is the second time we have seen Kady and she was amazing and took in consideration a mother’s concern regarding her child’s health. ☺️

They do answer the phone now and have late appointments.
My daughters have been patients since they were born 2017. I feel that is way better now after the change to Pediatric Associates. They do answer the phone now and have late appointments. The front desk girl is always so nice and helpful😊 it’s bigger now and clean as usual. My girls and I love Kady Wise PA she is amazing!

don't wait more than 15 minutes for care.
(Translated by Google) Immediate care, don't wait more than 15 minutes for care. Great service, everyone is super friendly, from the front desk, who provides all the help and information they need, to the doctor, who takes excellent care of you. I have no complaints. They speak Spanish and English! Very important! Professional. The doctor is super attentive and caring, paying attention to every detail to make sure everything is perfect. I'm delighted with her. They explain everything, give you all the information you need, and explain everything as it should be. Super clean, nice, and organized. As a mother, I was super pleased and happy. I have no complaints about this place, only nice things to say.

I had a great experience at Pediatric Associates.
I had a great experience at Pediatric Associates on Courtland. The staff was very welcoming, and I felt comfortable from the moment we arrived. Dr. Vivar was wonderful — very informative, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. I truly appreciate the care my son received. Highly recommend!

Very clean and spacious.
Very clean and spacious, the staff is pleasant and professional. This was our first visit, with that being said. I believe our experience is due to being a new ownership getting use to the day to day and the scheduling. Some hiccups on scheduling but nothing too extreme. Let’s see what our next visit turns out. For now, they’re good in my book.

Dr Vivar was a breath of fresh air with amazing bedside manor.
This was our 1st visit with this office and it was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Front desk girls were super nice and helpful. Nurse Katie (I believe that's her name) was so nice and great with my son. Dr Vivar was a breath of fresh air with amazing bedside manor. The office is newly updated and very clean. A very comforting environment. Highly recommend this office!!
