i would not recommend this pediatrician to anyone…read more my daughter spent this past sunday in urgent care with non stop vomiting. they sent us home with medicine but despite the night going well she threw up first thing In the morning. i was concerned so i called Dr Villanueva's office at 9 am on Monday and left her a message with the front desk staff telling her exactly what was going on and asking her to call me back asap so that we could determine if i needed to bring her in and/or what/when i should be giving her food. They told me she would give me a call back soon. I followed up at 12 PM and at 3 PM- i NEVER got a call back. when the doctor finally called me this morning (tuesday) and i mentioned how surprised and disappointed i was that i had not gotten a call back the doctor proceeded to to blame everyone and everything except her office staff and herself. she never once apologized and instead gave me the following litany of excuses: - she had too many patients - she was too busy because it was monday - i should have brought her in if i was so concerned - she had too many messages - the urgent care should have given me care instructions - if it was really urgent i would have brought her in. Shame on your doctor villanueva. not only did you fail at providing the support and care you should be for one of your patients but you then attempted to turn this around on me and making me feel like a bad parent. at the very least an apology would have been nice.

Be ready to wait an hour or more; even if you have an appointment. Be ready to wait even longer if you annoy the front office staff with ANY question.

She prescribes medicine when appropriate, looks into all the weird questions my wife and I might come up with and so on. And she does this well. But the thing I enjoy most about Dr. Vazquez' practice is her down to earth nature. She is an encourager and takes the time to hear our concerns without us feeling rushed. This is perhaps her greatest strength in my experience. She goes out of her way to make sure that we feel confident and to let us know that we are on the right track. I have really appreciated this from her; its comforting to know that your doctor is rooting for you. At times we have felt that the wait is longer than it should be, but after noticing that Dr. Vazquez is present enough to hear our concerns and addresses them without rushing allows me to see this as a wash and a necessary cost for individualized care.

I don't care how many years of experience you have, but that is not all it takes to be a successful…read moredoctor. I have so much to say that I'm not even sure where to start . When I had my daughter in 2007, Dr. Perez came highly recommended by my obstetrician. I thought it was a great idea because its literally down the hall from his Palmetto Hospital office. Let me start by saying that the first day he came to visit my daughter in the hospital he showed up all sour faced after 7 pm. I found this a bit odd given the situation. No biggie. The next day when I was finally going to be discharged, we waited, and waited, and waited all day long and nothing. Finally, at about 8 pm, in comes Dr. Perez finally ready to sign the discharge papers. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I don't know about you, but every time I watch mothers leaving the hospital on TV or when you look at your friends pictures, everyone is leaving during the day. I thought this was just insensitive. There was no need for me to have to leave with a newborn at that time. It was even a bit chilly at time because you know how that nearly "autumn" Miami weather is, hot like hell during the day and breezy at night. Once it was time to go to his office for her first check ups is when the truth of the matter came out. I usually asked for the earliest appt. This was usually 8 am. By the time I would get there,before 8, there was already a couple of moms outside. They too either had 8:00 appointments or 8:30. You have 2 rooms to choose from Sick or Not Sick. Apparently, a lot of the people either didn't read well in English or didn't care and quite often I was with my newborn next to some boogery kids hacking all over us. By the time it was 10 am and no one had been really called (this happend almost every time) I would ask the front desk what was going on. THere response "Dr. isn't here yet." WTF? I have to wait 2 hours for him to stroll himself at whatever time he wants? Finally, when we would get called in, they would assign you a room, ask you to strip the kids, and then proceed to have you sitting in a very cold room for an extra 20-30 minutes. UNACCEPTABLE! I know what your thinking, he's a great doctor, with a wonderful personality and that makes the wait all worth while, right? Not even close. He's in and he's out. He tells you what he has to tell you and if you can get a question in...lucky you! No smiles, no baby talk, no "so do you have any questions?". Nothing, zip, nada. What he is running is a factory. In and out, job done, the end. Let me not forget to mention that his staff is equally as rude and annoying. I don't remember their names but the receptionist and the older lady who handle the front are a drag. His assistant Barbie is the nicest of the bunch, but she seems over worked and under appreciated. Then when you are finally there, as a last little reminder of how sucky it all is, you have to pay a hefty parking fee. All because he took his sweet ass time getting there. If I lived in a town where he was the only pediatrician and I had to take it, well then I have no choice, but lucky for me I have plenty of choices and have found the BEST pediatricians. Walk-ins welcome, short wait, friendly, knowledgeable, close to home, free parking, late hours for those parents who work a bit later, the works!

Ok, so I have to write this review because I'm such a fan of Dr. Perez, it's not even funny…read more Let me start off with the fact that my sons are now 17 and 15 and yes, we still go see him. Yes, I agree with the person who wrote the other review that there is a long wait time and yes his bed side manner is not rude just very professional until he gets to know you, then he is pleasant. However his expertise is invaluable. never ever have I met a doctor that is more knowledgeable than him. He has literally saved my sons life on more than one occasion. Both my sons were asthmatic to the point that they both suffered thru 2bouts of hospitaled pneumonia and doctor Perez's expertise could not be doubted. T he hospital staff was in awe of him and followed his instructions to the tee or suffer his wrath (a very good ally in the world of nameless nurses and hospital staff). So yes it may take a while to be seen, but his knowledge and expertise in my opinion is well worth the wait.
