This office is great if the only thing your child ever gets is strep throat. If your child comes in…read morewith a sore throat, they'll diagnose your child with strep throat. If your child has appendicitis, they'll diagnose your child with strep throat. If your child comes back a couple days later because they still have appendicitis and are getting worse, they'll diagnose your child with - you've guessed it - strep throat again. We had an absolutely terrible experience where three different pediatricians misdiagnosed our son's appendicitis over the course of a week. We went in on a Saturday because my son had intense abdominal pain beginning the previous night. Abdominal pain was his only complaint and symptom. We saw Dr Landis and she diagnosed him with strep throat. He had no sore throat and no cough, which was how he presented with strep when he had previously had it. We were surprised considering his symptoms, and my husband even mentioned that we were worried about appendicitis. "No," said a wildly incorrect Dr Landis, "If it were appendicitis, he would not be able to walk." Two days later, my son was not better, instead he still had abdominal pain and was now also presenting with 101+ fevers, not eating, felt achy all over, and was severely fatigued. We tried to get an appointment for someone to see him 48 hours after the initial appointment, but the person answering the phone said no and to give it another day. So first thing the next morning we were back and with these increasingly worsening symptoms, Dr Zeman diagnosed him again with strep throat and changed the antibiotic. Two days later, the office called and said the throat culture was negative for strep (to the surprise of absolutely no one living in our house), and we should come back the next day if he wasn't better. He obviously wasn't better since he had only been treated for a misdiagnosis of strep throat twice. This third time, now a week after his first symptoms presented, he saw Dr Kepler, who at least managed to not diagnose him with strep throat. She suggested a viral source, maybe mono, but at least ordered blood work. Later that evening, the blood work showed he had a raging bacterial infection. After receiving the results of the blood work, she called us and said we should go to Children's ER to figure out the source of the infection. When the PA in the ER asked my son where his pain was, he pointed to his appendix with the precision and accuracy of a fourth year medical student. This ER Nancy Drew ordered an ultrasound, which showed a perforated appendicitis. (Yes, Dr Landis, it turns out you can walk around with appendicitis.) Even if this had been treated more seriously or thoroughly at the first or second appointment at Arlington Peds, I realize we still might not have caught this before his appendix perforated, but my son certainly did not need to get as sick as he became over the course of that week. Not surprisingly, we chose to leave the practice. We are very lucky that our children have been healthy, but in this instance, when we needed a pediatrician to actually listen to our child and see this was a BIG DEAL, we instead received a series of mis-diagnoses, delays, and condescending attitudes.

They go WAY above and beyond. Any one would be lucky to get their care there.

Decided to give them another chance and requested a new doctor, definitely better but still not great. Everyone there is so grumpy, they look miserable, they are not friendly. As for it being a doctor's office, it's not. This is merely a well-visit office so they can get their bonuses for injecting your children with one vaccine after another. They get visibly upset if you question vaccines ask to space them out, and if you refuse vaccines, they straight up don't want your child as their patient at all. God forbid your child is actually sick, good luck trying to get seen. They are never available for sick appointments, they tell you to go to urgent care or the emergency room if it's "that serious" I really do hate this place.

Dr. Colzani was very helpful when I was first getting my hypothyroidism under control. She took my concerns seriously and provided a lot of helpful information about thyroid funciton and pregnancy, since I was thinking about on becoming pregnant in the year or so after I found out I had hypothyroidism (2012). Well, now I am pregnant and I've been seeing Jessica Perucca for care during my pregnancy (you have to be monitored more closely because your thyroid function is crucial in baby's development). Jessica is wonderful - so easy to talk to, very compassionate, and really prompt following up with appointments. The office staff is friendly and it's easy to make appointments and get ahold of someone. When I explained I didn't want to spend all my PTO on Doctor's appointments, they worked with me to set up a schedule for visits that really works a lot better for me since I work full-time. I would definitely recommend Dr. Colzani, and ESPECIALLY Jessica, for your endocrinology care.

Dr. Colzani interviewed me, took my blood sugar, and looked at my thyroid. She sent me for an ultrasound on my thyroid because it was enlarged. She called two days after my ultrasound and scheduled a biopsy. I came in two weeks later and endured 30 needles in my neck. She sent a letter stating my nodules were benign. I requested a copy of my file for my records and reviewed them. I was rather upset with the comments I reviewed on the first visit. She wrote that she observed a non-diet soda in the exam room and commented that a diabetic should not drink regular soda. It was not mine! It was my sons! After reading that, I left her practice which turned out well since she moved her practice outside of the hospital. Dr. Colzani is thorough. A bit hard to understand through her accent but she is quick to judge without asking questions.

It's incredible and unique to get our questions answered right away by Dr. Lavin herself, who knows us well, who we trust and respect, and who has saved us from needing to bring our children to the ER multiple times. Third, scheduling appointments is always simple and she has an excellent balance of prescribing medication when needed and encouraging natural methods of healing when possible. We greatly appreciate the care and guidance she provides. Our family has great admiration of and appreciation for Dr. Lavin. She's truly the best!

Now it was over five years ago, but I remember her spending a full hour with me during that first appointment. She is very approachable and seems to truly care about her patients' health. A couple of years ago, I had a medical concern and actually emailed her through the patientsite website. She returned my email promptly (within 2 hours and it was after 8pm) and I was able to schedule a time to see her within the week. I truly believe that she provides outstanding medical care and prevention tips. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a doctor.
