Although Dr. Mavani is a great doctor and highly respected in the field, it's tough to make an appointment with her, unless you're willing to wait months. I understand entirely that this is a teaching practice and the need for educating new professionals in the field. However, this means that each PA and NP is in and out of the practice in a few months. Each time we get used to someone, they're gone. I've seen four different doctors in three years here, and none of them are still with the practice. Same with the nursing staff. The turnover is constant, and I've decided to switch practices because I want to truly know my childrens' doctors over time, and I want that for my kids, too. The front desk staff always sounds disgruntled at first until you get to know them more and then slowly they'll warm up. I was hoping for a warmer and more welcoming experience at this practice. They've treated and diagnosed my children well, but overall, I'm looking for a place that welcomes children and parents, interacts with kids more, and provides lasting relationships. However, they have recently added playing music in their office, and my kids do smile a bit more here because of that. Nice touch! Keep working on the little things. We parents and our children can spend up to 18 years at a pediatrician, so it has to be the right fit. read more
