everyone goes above and beyond to make each visit smooth and stress-free.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pediatric Associates and especially Dr. Claudia Landaeta. She has been the doctor for all three of my children for years, and we truly couldn’t ask for anyone better. Dr. Landaeta is patient, caring, and incredibly knowledgeable. She always takes her time with us, listens to every concern, and gives thoughtful guidance. As a mother, having a doctor you fully trust means everything, and she has been that support for our family since day one. The entire staff is also amazing—friendly, professional, and always helpful. From scheduling to check-in to the nurses, everyone goes above and beyond to make each visit smooth and stress-free. We are so grateful for the consistent care, kindness, and reassurance they have provided over the years. Thank you, Dr. Landaeta, and thank you to the whole team at Pediatric Associates for taking such great care of my kids!

even though I live 10 miles away and there are several pediatricians closer to my home.
I don’t know how I would do without Susan Leitner. She is the pediatrician of my two kids. She is the most competent pediatrician in her field that I have ever known. I would not change her for anybody, even though I live 10 miles away and there are several pediatricians closer to my home. Thank you, Dr Leitner.

All patients have 24/7 telehealth with doctors on KidzDocNow if you cant make it to the doctors office of you're traveling.
This place is great! I don't think enough people review positive experience, and it honestly made it hard for me to find a pediatrician for my newborn. Im here to tell you this place is great! Pros: -Dr. Claudia Landaeta is wonderful! Very knowledgable, doesnt rush me, refers me to specialists for everything my baby needs to thrive and stay healthy -Big waiting room! A side for well guests and "not so well" so the sick kids arent near your healthy one. They also have an individual room for newborns that is first come first serve, which is great for their delicate immune systems! The room was available for us 4 out of 5 times we went -All patients have 24/7 telehealth with doctors on KidzDocNow if you cant make it to the doctors office of you're traveling -Everyone is very kid friendly, waiting room and treatments are decorated in a kid friendly way. Lots of bathrooms in the office and all have ample space for changing -They have a ton of locations near me. Miami Beach, Midtown and Brickell are all just 15 mins away if I cant get in my primary location (miami beach) which i had to do once. Brickell location hd great service too! Cons -$5 to park -Good doctors occasionally do not have appointments available. Book in advance since you know the vaccine schedule! They do have a lot of good doctors for when your primary is not available -They have an odd step that you do a virtual review of your file with someone on an iPad before your burse checks the vitals, and before the doctor. Not sure if thats a way to bill for a "telehealth" but you're already in the room -They break for lunch and do not always return on time for appointments. Also, one time i had an appt scheduled and there was a sign on the door that the whole office was in a meeting. Not sure why I was scheduled at that time, but perhaps it was an emergency, unplanned meeting.

las enfermeras siempre un amor con mi niña.
(Translated by Google) Today we received wonderful treatment. At check-in, they helped me update the pharmacy information, as I hadn't been able to do so despite my efforts. On other occasions, the treatment upon arrival isn't as welcoming, but in this case, it was, and the nurses inside were always kind to my little girl. (Original) En el día de hoy recibimos un trato maravilloso, a la hora del checking me ayudaron actualizar la información de la farmacia ya que yo no había podido hacerlo a pesar que lo intenté. En otras ocasiones el trato a la hora de la llegada no es tan acogedor, pero en este caso si lo fue y dentro las enfermeras siempre un amor con mi niña.

Every appointment feels calm, supportive, and thoughtful.
Amazing. All staff is so kind and sweet to my baby. Dr. Landaeta is kind, attentive, and takes her time throughout the appointments. Since the very first visit, she made us feel comfortable and reassured, taking the time to answer all our questions with such patience and care. Every appointment feels calm, supportive, and thoughtful. The nurses are so gentle when giving her shots, which makes a big difference. I also love having the option of video appointments for emergencies or quick questions, it gives such peace of mind + the office is beautiful.
