Q&A with Dr. Aleyas

What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?

I love watching the Disney movie “Brave” with my daughter.

What is your favorite children's book and why?

The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein is one of my favorites, because it honestly depicts the selfless love of a mother to her child.

What was your favorite childhood toy?

I admired Barbie for her beauty and brains. She could be anything she dreamed of.

Who is your greatest inspiration and why?

My Mother has been my biggest inspiration. My parents immigrated from Guyana with 5 children to provide us opportunities. She worked full time, cooked and cleaned tireless for us, so we could study. I am forever grateful and try every day to do the same for my children.

What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?

Yoha and cooking.

What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

My love of science drew me to medicine and my desire to help those who can not help themselves drew me to pediatrics. From newborns to teens I find pleasure in helping parents navigate the journey. I specialize in prematurity, ADHD and other complex medical conditions.

She immediately took action by giving us referrals to an allergist and dermatologist.

My son’s eczema had become very severe, and after visiting multiple doctors with no real help, we finally saw Jennifer Krieger, PA-C in Pembroke Pines. She immediately took action by giving us referrals to an allergist and dermatologist and prescribing something for relief. She cared for my son as if he were her own, showing true compassion and professionalism.She made sure he was comfortable throughout the visit. She genuinely wanted to help and make sure my son felt better. I’m so grateful for her kindness and highly recommend her to any parent seeking genuine care.

what to expect and not.

This was my first time my child being seen at the Pembroke Location. I'm so happy we were placed with Doctor Martha. She had given me valuable information and prescription to make my child feel illness less irritable, what to expect and not. When I should bring my child back.

Grateful to have found this place for that unexpected sickness.

Grateful to have found this place for that unexpected sickness in the middle of the work week. Last two times, I went during after hours as a walk in and they where able to accomodate my 1year old baby boy to be seen by a pediatrician. Place is clean, staff is nice. Walked out with his medication already ordered. All set with peace of mind.

Coral V.

I’m so happy that they welcomed my daughter with open arms.

Dr. Marie Jones, was PHENOMENAL and has a very sweet presence and spirit. Very kind and you can tell that she thrives in her profession. I’m happy that I chose her to be my daughter’s doctor. The staff here are AMAZING. Very very nice. You can tell that they take pride in what they do. Facility is clean, very quiet atmosphere. I’m so happy that they welcomed my daughter with open arms.
