He gets sick kids in the very same day you call if you need it and when you leave a message for him he calls back the same day and even offered for me to call his cell phone over the weekend if my daughter was still sick rather than going into an urgent care. He deeply and truly cares for his patients. Having the peace of mind to know I can take my 2 little ones in the very same day I reach out is extraordinary because they get sick a lot and sometimes very sick very quickly. He knows his stuff and we will be his patients for many years to come.

There are 3 doctors so my child can always get in when they're sick. Dr. Nichols really takes her time listening and exploring options, so it doesn't bother me that we wait longer for her. Dr. Blank brought us a lot of comfort when my baby girl got really sick. Dr. Pecht always runs on time and is great with the kids. It just isn't worth taking them anywhere else. This is where all of their needs are taken care of no matter what it is. And I trust them.

Let me tell you Dr Nichols is the best pediatrician out there. My son had a medical emergency last year where we called for an appointment while at the hospital. It was late and she took it upon her to see us. The entire office was already closed. She treated his symptoms and I couldn't be more thankful. She communicates with us and follow up with emails. Whenever we are there to see her she is never rushed And always tries to pinpoint and think of all possible causes. Her kindness and dedication to her patients is truly appreciated. He is now 17 and I actually fear of finding another doctor. I hope coastal pediatric will continue seeing him as long as they can after turning 18.

If you suspect your child has autism or ADHD Do not seek help! last week when I called to schedule an appointment, they were happy to accept new patients but as soon as I asked if they did ADHD or autism screenings, they said oh we have to call you back. They never called me back. I called them back today and spoke with the front desk and she said after speaking with her manager they now are no longer accepting new patients. I confronted the receptionist and said last week you told me you were accepting new patients, what has changed? She says that they do not accept new patients that need autism screenings. Can someone please explain to me how a pediatrician is not qualified to do an autism screening. I don't know if I even would want to take my kids here for a common cold.

First, it's important to note that this doctor does not speak Spanish fluently. While she knows a…read morefew words, it's far from enough to communicate effectively, especially in a medical setting. We sought her out initially because my partner does not speak English. During our visit we were hoping for an open and honest discussion about the expanding vaccine schedule for babies, but instead, we were met with judgment and accusations that we were simply "googling" misinformation. We were never completely opposed to vaccines, but as new parents with a newborn, we had legitimate concerns and wanted to explore all our options. These are medical treatments that expand over years, and cause babies discomfort and sometimes side effects. I don't think we were wrong in asking questions and having concerns. Instead of listening, the doctor condescended to us, recommended other pediatricians (whom she also criticized and laughed about, some were even her former colleagues), and told us she would not treat us as patients. Well, adios! This so called "bilingual" doctor actually made us more hesitant about the current vaccine schedule...she definitely won't be getting her vaccine bonus payouts from us! In our opinion, doctors should be open to conversation, give alternative options when necessary, and recognize that one size does not fit all with every patient. Had she been respectful and genuinely concerned for our baby's safety, we might have been more receptive, but her aggressive and condescending approach only made us more uncomfortable about the vaccine schedule. How does this protect the community, exactly? Something claimed she cared about during our appointment. The only positive aspect of the visit was her suggestion of a practice that would accept us as patients and work with us on a vaccine schedule that works for us and our family. Be gone inflexible authoritarian doctors. You're doing more harm than good.

I cannot say enough good things about this office and that staff that work there. Dr. Blank was the…read moreMD who had rounds at the hospital the day my son was born. I was recovering from a c-section hours prior and couldn't get up. As Dr. Blank was examining our new bundle of joy, he needed his diaper changed. Dr. Blank changed him for me!! I knew there, in that moment that we had found a great doctor! I remember sharing that story with one of my nurses and she said most doctors don't so that and that we were lucky to find a doctor like him. I'm the coming months my son would end up in and out of Coastal Pediatrics and the hospital and Dr. Blank was there every step of the way - from fevers to ear infections, RSV and everything in between. We are SO thankful to have found such an amazing Pediatrician. We've also had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Pecht and Dr. Nichols as well and they too, are great doctors. NP Driscoll took one of our after hours calls and was super informative. She even contacted me the next day just to check in on my son! The office staff - nurses, medical assistants, front and back office they all truly care about their patients and are all amazing. There were times we were in their office weekly and never once did they make me feel like I was crazy for being there so often - they know I just want what's best for my son and being a first time mom, that is so comforting. Their after hours inquiries are always addressed and promptly if I might add! You leave a message and you're called back - no matter what time, no matter what question. Even during normal business hours you're contacted back when leaving messages. Sometimes the doctors are the ones returning the messages and I think that right there says it all. Every time I've called for a same day appt, they've been able to get us in. This office truly cares about their patients. We love you guys! Thanks for taking such great care of my son. Dr. Blank, please don't ever retire!! - The Johnson's

I feel she was overly conservative to the point where she would not inform us of all options and even border negligence by refusing to prescribe at times, leaving my son in pain and discomfort. It's very frustrating when you are trying to advocate for your child and the provider doesn't listen or act like they care. During our final visit we were asked three times by three different people, including Dr. Sharma, if my child was going to get the flu shot that day. He already received the shot this year which is clearly in his records but none of the staff checked that and this was very concerning to me. While a second flu shot may not be a big deal it could've been something that was. After that, during this visit, she would not fully answer my questions regarding her recommendations and was rushing out, all contributing to my frustration. Subsequently she dropped us after this visit. I was admittedly frustrated and agitated but I never raised my voice or did anything that should constitute this. This is discouraging as it is another indicator of our poor health system. I'm really trying to keep this short-ish but spare yourselves and child's health by not going to Dr. Sharma.
