I have been going to see Dr. Barry with my children since 2013. The office is clean, tidy (with a…read morelot of toys for toddlers) and they LOVE babies!! She schedules newborns and babies during days & times where there are no other sick kids so your little one doesn't get sick. She has children of her own so she gets it!!!! The office staff are well trained and know how to handle babies & toddlers. I have never had issues scheduling an appointment or waiting for more then 5 minutes. Dr. Barry is kind, patient, and extremely knowledgeable of disease processes, vaccinations, etc. The best of all is that she adores children and is passionate about what she does. Thank you Dr. Barry!

I cannot express how absolutely amazing everyone is. Everything from scheduling to vaccines is done both professionally and with the utmost care to their littlest patients. My only wish is Dr. Barry could treat adults too!

My child has been seeing Dr. Kayumi-Rashti for over a year and she has been nothing other than…read moreexcellent. She is patient during our visits and listens to all concerns and questions and takes the time to talk to you about care in detail. I never feel rushed when I am bringing in my child for a visit. Her calm and professional demeanor is reassuring especially when your little one is sick. I have also called the nursing line to speak to someone immediately regarding my child's symptoms and they are super responsive and professional when guiding you and making recommendations. The 3 stars is due to the staff, specifically the front desk. On multiple occasions I have found the front desk staff to be unorganized and dismissive. I have worked in healthcare for over 10 years in various positions and facilities, I know how hectic and stressful the industry can be. I always try to approach difficult situations with the staff with empathy and compassion but it is difficult with this office when the front desk staff is unprofessional and quick to blame and shame patients/parents without even bothering to understand the situation. A recent example includes miscommunication about my child's visit. It wasn't made clear that I would not be seeing the doctor that day (even though the doctor said they would follow up on symptoms during this particular visit). When I asked if we could see the doctor, the back office staff asked the front desk and the response from one of the receptionists was "I hate when they do that." I hate when I am put in shitty situations due to lack of information and communication, but here we are. While I appreciate the care provided by the physicians and nurses, the front desk's poor service detracts from the overall experience. Improved training and stronger focus on patient interaction would make a huge difference.

I feel grateful to have a pediatrician and care team that make us feel supported and well looked after.

When it was time to remove the stitches, Dr. Brewer was super amazing with Evan! He was so calm with him and communicated in the best way with Evan to help him understand what he was doing. Having stitches is so scary and traumatic, especially for little ones who don't fully understand what's going on! but Dr. Brewer helped him be so strong about it! He took his time calmly evaluating Evan's stitches and making a plan to remove the glue and stitches safely and accurately. We all cheered and Dr. Brewer congratulated Evan for being so strong!

The nurses were incredible in the L&D department, maternity ward, and the NICU. The NICU staff is wonderful. Very kind, knowledgeable, and experienced. So many of the nurses have had 20+ years experience in the NICU. That was comforting. The Neonatologists were great as well. They always took the time to sit and chat and answer as many questions as we had. The doctors were also available by phone if we happened to miss them in the NICU. Unfortunately not all hospitals have the same environment as Cottage's NICU. The new hospital is beautiful and the food .... Holy moly. A hospital with a menu! Awesome.

Dr. Mehler has been our child's pediatrician since birth, and we could not be happier with the care…read moreshe provides. She is incredibly knowledgeable and clearly committed to continuously educating herself. During visits she often shares the latest information and resources with us -- she even recommended an epidemiologist's newsletter so we could stay informed about current health topics. Whenever our child has been sick, we've been able to see her within a day. She takes concerns seriously, knows exactly which tests to order when needed, and has always been spot-on with her diagnoses. When specialist care was necessary, she connected us with excellent local providers. Dr. Mehler is thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely cares about her patients. We feel very lucky to have her as our pediatrician and highly recommend her.

I didn't like that experience and actually met Dr. Rashti in the hospital while I was in labor for that pregnancy. I really loved his presence and personality, so when I got pregnant with my second I immediately knew I wanted Dr. Rashti to be my OB. I called his office and was able to get an appointment quickly and on a day and time that worked with my schedule, the appointments were longer and I was actually able to get questions answered, talk about what to expect, talk about our lives, and he really got to know us. We ended up with a C-section and he did such an amazing job. I haven't had any issues with pain at all, and the scar is virtually non-existent. He checked in with us multiple times afterwards to make sure healing was going well. Overall it was a great experience, worth every penny.
