I particularly appreciate how attentive Dr. Molina is to my questions and concerns.

She's also very attentive on how she treats my baby, always paying attention and noticing what's new! That's hard to do with so many patients.

I don't care how many years of experience you have, but that is not all it takes to be a successful…read moredoctor. I have so much to say that I'm not even sure where to start . When I had my daughter in 2007, Dr. Perez came highly recommended by my obstetrician. I thought it was a great idea because its literally down the hall from his Palmetto Hospital office. Let me start by saying that the first day he came to visit my daughter in the hospital he showed up all sour faced after 7 pm. I found this a bit odd given the situation. No biggie. The next day when I was finally going to be discharged, we waited, and waited, and waited all day long and nothing. Finally, at about 8 pm, in comes Dr. Perez finally ready to sign the discharge papers. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I don't know about you, but every time I watch mothers leaving the hospital on TV or when you look at your friends pictures, everyone is leaving during the day. I thought this was just insensitive. There was no need for me to have to leave with a newborn at that time. It was even a bit chilly at time because you know how that nearly "autumn" Miami weather is, hot like hell during the day and breezy at night. Once it was time to go to his office for her first check ups is when the truth of the matter came out. I usually asked for the earliest appt. This was usually 8 am. By the time I would get there,before 8, there was already a couple of moms outside. They too either had 8:00 appointments or 8:30. You have 2 rooms to choose from Sick or Not Sick. Apparently, a lot of the people either didn't read well in English or didn't care and quite often I was with my newborn next to some boogery kids hacking all over us. By the time it was 10 am and no one had been really called (this happend almost every time) I would ask the front desk what was going on. THere response "Dr. isn't here yet." WTF? I have to wait 2 hours for him to stroll himself at whatever time he wants? Finally, when we would get called in, they would assign you a room, ask you to strip the kids, and then proceed to have you sitting in a very cold room for an extra 20-30 minutes. UNACCEPTABLE! I know what your thinking, he's a great doctor, with a wonderful personality and that makes the wait all worth while, right? Not even close. He's in and he's out. He tells you what he has to tell you and if you can get a question in...lucky you! No smiles, no baby talk, no "so do you have any questions?". Nothing, zip, nada. What he is running is a factory. In and out, job done, the end. Let me not forget to mention that his staff is equally as rude and annoying. I don't remember their names but the receptionist and the older lady who handle the front are a drag. His assistant Barbie is the nicest of the bunch, but she seems over worked and under appreciated. Then when you are finally there, as a last little reminder of how sucky it all is, you have to pay a hefty parking fee. All because he took his sweet ass time getting there. If I lived in a town where he was the only pediatrician and I had to take it, well then I have no choice, but lucky for me I have plenty of choices and have found the BEST pediatricians. Walk-ins welcome, short wait, friendly, knowledgeable, close to home, free parking, late hours for those parents who work a bit later, the works!

Ok, so I have to write this review because I'm such a fan of Dr. Perez, it's not even funny…read more Let me start off with the fact that my sons are now 17 and 15 and yes, we still go see him. Yes, I agree with the person who wrote the other review that there is a long wait time and yes his bed side manner is not rude just very professional until he gets to know you, then he is pleasant. However his expertise is invaluable. never ever have I met a doctor that is more knowledgeable than him. He has literally saved my sons life on more than one occasion. Both my sons were asthmatic to the point that they both suffered thru 2bouts of hospitaled pneumonia and doctor Perez's expertise could not be doubted. T he hospital staff was in awe of him and followed his instructions to the tee or suffer his wrath (a very good ally in the world of nameless nurses and hospital staff). So yes it may take a while to be seen, but his knowledge and expertise in my opinion is well worth the wait.

I've never been treated so poorly by a pediatric office, especially when advocating for my child…read morewith autism. My son's referrals for speech, OT, and PT were sent multiple times, and I even received a message saying they were available. When I called to confirm, the staff, including a manager named Nancy, told me the referrals were still "pending" and that it could take up to 7-10 business days. I explained that I received messages via text and on the patient portal app that clearly states that the referral is ready and to schedule my appointment now. I attached all the messages I received and Nancy "the manager" said that didn't mean it was ready, it meant it can take 7-10 business days and that its "processing"! She was clearly gas lighting me rather than helping a long time customer and patient!!! I explained that my son has autism and that this delay affects his therapy and progress. Instead of offering help or compassion, the manager tried to gaslight me, insisting that a message clearly saying "the referral is available" actually means it isn't. She spoke to me in a dismissive and condescending way, showing no understanding or empathy for a parent trying to get medically necessary care for her child. It is completely unethical for someone in a managerial role at a pediatric practice to treat families this way. Referrals that have been signed should be immediately accessible, as they always have been. The lack of professionalism and accountability here is alarming. Additionally, I called Pediatric associates again and spoke to a rep called Neomi who was so nice and was able to fax me the referrals herself immediately and she also sent it to the provider. This was minutes after I hung up with Nancy who clearly said to me that she was unable to expedite even after I explained my son is level 2 autistic and any time away from therapy will cause regression! Nancy should be at the very least be demoted! Parents should not have to fight this hard for something so basic. I hope higher management reviews this situation, because no family should experience this kind of treatment, especially not in a clinic that claims to care for children.

I come here frequently for my children's doctors appointment. Our doctor, Dr.Lammont, is very…read moreprofessional and we love having her as our doctor. However, for today's appointment, it was horrible care from the nurse. Immediately from arrival she had a nasty attitude, no matter how polite I stayed. She kept sighing in annoyance in my daughters face after she was informed she didn't have a shirt under her hoodie, meaning she would have to take my daughters vitals in a private room with the hoodie off. For reference, I have experience working in healthcare. I do not think I know any better than any healthcare professionals so I leave the work to them and do not question their level of care. When she was taking my daughter's blood pressure, she left the cuff on for at least four minutes. My daughters had a face of pain and I could physically see her whole arm turning purple. She was cutting off her circulation for much longer than necessary. My daughter has a high pain tolerance and does not complain about taking blood pressure, ever. I spoke up for my daughter, and I asked the nurse to take off the cuff because she was cutting off my kids circulation! Her arm was pulsating and completely purple! I KNOW that is NOT supposed to happen when taking blood pressure in a regulars doctors office. She proceeded to get upset, she aggressively tore off the cuff from my daughters arm and stormed out of the room, saying "Ya'll are going to have to get somebody to do this." before slamming the door shut. This was absolutely unprofessional and ridiculous. She could've injured my daughter for NO REASON. I will not be coming back here. I am unsure of her name, but she is a black female who seems to be around 5'9-5'8. She is slim and was wearing a bun and a face mask. Shame on you! This is a pediatric office and you need to be aware of how you treat children!
