By all means, bring your child here if you enjoy feeling rushed and not listened to. Dr. Junio…read morenever spent more than 3-5 minutes examining my child over the 5 years he went to her. She continually made bad diagnoses because she never listened or took the time to check out the concerns. Eventually I asked for a referral to a specialist for another opinion, and she refused! She diagnosed my child's chronic sinus infection as asthma and prescribed an inhaler. He ended up in the ER after months of her horrible mistakes. When confronted about it, she literally laughed in my face and said she was "just a pediatrician" and that I should have gone to a specialist if I was concerned about a sinus infection....when I had already asked her and was refused at every appointment! This lady is seriously lacking in the empathy and listening departments. My biggest regret is sticking with her as long as we did!

We have never had to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen, usually we are taken in and seen right at our appointment time. They definitely accommodate last-minute sick visits and have an answering service for after-hour calls. We definitely recommend this office if you're seeking a nice group of pediatricians.

We are committed to using medication only when truly necessary." However, they would rather deny a child these excellent treatments if the parents choose not to use excessive vaccine intervention. Even the AAP encourages not denying care to unvaccinated children, as that can lead to them receiving no care at all. Further their website claims "Our office is a safe place where you will be heard, and your values respected." This doesn't apply if your values and opinions differ from theirs.

The turnover for the nurse practitioners is extremely high. Nobody cares about you there. You can never talk to the doctor, he's always busy. I was getting billed for stuff that wasn't done and stuff that was done years ago. The staff is not friendly. The last straw was my sons 6 year checkup. I waited over an hour in the room. I started to make a fuss so they send back a student...... I said no, at the very least I want to see a NP. Another 20 minutes went by and I left. Then Guess who called... the doctor that was always too busy to talk to me. Never again.

I was really nervous for this change, but the new doctors and staff made me feel so secure about the transition and are always so helpful when I have questions. I've never left the office with more questions than answers. While I will miss Dr. Lapsker, (she was my husbands pediatrician when he was a child) I know that there is a whole team that truly cares for every single child. I also love how small the practice is, and I feel like my children get the attention they deserve. There are sick and well child waiting rooms, as well as specific times of day that certain ages get scheduled, ie: newborns only in the morning to keep the amount of exposure to their new immune systems low. The small steps they take to ensure the safety, care and happiness of each and every patient and parent is above and beyond. And any parent knows that is SO important when looking for a good doctor.
