I am not sure how I found Dr. Laura Fernandez's information, but I had been out looking out for a…read morepediatrician for my daughter since my baby had been sick for 6 months and Pediatric Associates had not been able to completely solve the issue. I met with Dr. Fernandez for a consultation and she immediately noticed my baby's symptoms and wanted to treat her immediately. From that day on, I knew she was the right dr for my little girl --and we have been going there ever since. She has great bedside manner and is always happy to explain things. By the way, after being treated by Dr. Fernandez, my baby finally got back to good health. The women in the office are amazing! They are NOT robots! They remember your baby's name, are very sweet and caring, and always make time for your sick child to come in. Its actually a pleasant experience going to this office.

I'm sharing my recent experience with Dr. Laura Fernandez Ortiz at Shores Pediatrics to caution other parents. When I mentioned that I wasn't sure when I wanted to vaccinate my 20-month-old daughter with the MMR and varicella (chicken pox) shots or when I wanted to do so, Dr. Ortiz became confrontational, very rude, and dismissive (in front of my child), and told me that she wouldn't continue treating my child. I'm not anti-vaccine, but I believe in having open and informed conversations with my pediatrician. Dr. Ortiz didn't care to address any of my questions or concerns, or to educate me. Dr. Ortiz's behavior was unacceptable, unprofessional and I felt disrespected and unnecessarily pressured. I've decided to take my daughter elsewhere, and I advise other parents who value a collaborative and supportive approach to vaccination to do the same.

I've used the portal to communicate with only for them to respond 4 days later. You cannot call directly into the office, you call the number for their company and they will give a message to that location who will have to then tell the doc/nurse you are trying to get a hold of. Referrals take 7-10 days to get. It sucks because I actually like my daughter's doc, but this place is a sh*t show. This is not how you efficiently run an office. I can't believe this is sustainable.

But you know what, a lot of moms are unhappy with their chlidren's doctors and for once, I've found a wonderful one and wanted to share it with the world! Geez...I sound like some crazed lunatic, but I had a pretty rough week with my daughter (she has some creepy rash) and Dr. O helped us out big time. Other pluses? There is never a wait, she always calls back when you have questions, the practice is uber clean and the nurses are nice. Which is a nice change in an industry chockfull of dirty waiting rooms, hour-long waits and wicked help. So if you live near the Design District and are fishing around for a new doc, go here. All my friends go to her as well and love her to pieces too.

She's ok. I went to…read moreher for years. You expect a pediatrician to be friendly and connect with your children. She does not. She always referred to my child as "Hey, kid!". I don't expect her to memorize every child's name that comes to her practice but this is just one example of her impersonality. Henry, the dog and her staff are friendlier. Her staff, by the way are accommodating and patient. She is a straight shooter. Down to business. No warmth,no cuddles, no rainbows and no goddamn bubbles. Get in and get the hell out. Again no problem with her staff. I will never forget how she scolded me when she discovered that I did not realize that my child was autistic. How the eff am I supposed to know?? Smh. I have a new pediatrician now and the experience is way better. And the practice I go to now is BUSIER. But when my pediatrician sits down with my child I see leprauchans and a pot of gold. And no my pediatrician DOES NOT know my child's name by heart either but she CONNECTS with me and child during our visit. Therin lies the difference. I hesitated to write this review for years because of all the glowing reviews. But now I see I'm not the only one. She's not horrible but one can do better. Meh. Oh, but the one good thing, about her is that she is not focused on prescribing unnecessary medicines/antibiotics. I'll add another star just for that.

I should have learned my lesson from the first time we went there when The nurse was shaking while giving my son a shot But this is nothing compare to this time when My son suffered 10 day fever because they Didn't follow up with a throat culture result for 5 days! And keep telling us it's normal all kids get it it's viral just wait it out with no medicine proscribed! And this is after two visits to their office and no medication proscribed and everything is ok it's normal! Well I waited to long and had to take my son to Er where finally they proscribed antibiotics and my son start feeling better! Would never ever recommend anyone who loves their children to get close to this place !

We only came here for her she was very good and friendly and always knew how to treat my sons symptoms ! I recently came here on Monday for my sons fever to be checked out , and his cough .... Jessica said that it was viral and it would run its course , fever stayed and Thursday it was super high and I called for an appointment I called at 9 am till 9:30 couldn't get ahold of the office the line was off . Finally at 9:30 they said I couldn't come in untill 2:30 there was no doctor or anyone to see him! How can you not have a doctor or nurse available at a children's doctor office ???????? Regardless we came at 2:30 were we sat in a room for 30 min with a high fever and no one to check if he was ok or not , the doctor comes in another New one because I guess the other new guy they had patients taking surveys on if they liked him or not ??? How professional .... you have to have a survey on a dr of you like him or not will debate if he keeps his job?? So what his medical history should have been why they hired him so they obviously just hire anyone and then do surveys if they make the cut !! SUPER un professional I am comming to you with trust that the doctor is good and will take good care of my child's health ! Anyways they said again he had nothing did another throat culture .....I go home my son is just getting worse not better fever all night coughing just super sick Sunday comes i call them for the on call doctor because here I have been listening to thier advice on how to just comfort care my child and he dosent need anything but that ..... ok I leave a message NO on call dr calls me back I take my son to urgent care which they refer me to go to the ER and comes out he needed antibiotics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So because of the Mis diagnosis and trust I had with them my son was suffering for a good 7 days ok then Monday due to my message I left on Sunday with the " on call" doctor which never returned my call Monday Jessica calls me and says the strep is positive how unprofessional!!!!!!!! They don't care for the children here ! They aren't checking and following up properly! They are worried about the survery for the new doctors !!!! I will never come here with my son ever !!! I am so disappointed with this facility !!!!!
