is very hard to find that in a medical setting now and days and is so important.
I came in from out of town as a visitor. As I walked up to the front desk every employee there had a smile on their face and greeted me. Everyone of them had great personalities. As I was took to the back, the same thing, all the girls had welcoming personalities and were very kind. It is very hard to find that in a medical setting now and days and is so important. Definitely would recommend this place of care.

I have never encountered any issues, and if any arose, they were promptly resolved.
My daughter has been a patient at Pediatric Associates since she was two months old and is now 12 years old. Pediatric Associates has been with us through all our life experiences. I am extremely satisfied with the care provided here because they treat each child as if they were their own. I have never encountered any issues, and if any arose, they were promptly resolved. I highly recommend Pediatric Associates to anyone seeking exceptional pediatric care. I have consistently visited the West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens offices, and everyone has been great; my daughter feels comfortable with the entire staff.

Happy to make the 50min drive to this location.
After previously being at a different office of Pediatric Associates, this one seems so much cleaner, less hectic, and the staff are all so much friendlier! Happy to make the 50min drive to this location if my kids are ill!

He had a great bedtime manner.
Dr. Barsky is awesome. Drove 30 min to his office because I was looking for a doctor that actually cared about treating my daughter not just throwing a bunch of different medications at her and hoping one would help. He had a great bedtime manner and was knowledgeable. I am very happy and will be driving back and forth because he is worth it.
