Exceptional service from the time of arrival to the end. The staff is extremely professional, the location is very clean and the doctor we had onsite Sandra De Jesus Medina was top notch and knowledgable.

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!
