Center City Pediatrics on South Street has been a remarkable part of our experience living in…read morePhiladelphia. It's truly one of the aspects we value most about our community. With three young children, including a three-year-old daughter and twin boys under one year old, having a pediatric practice we trust is incredibly important. This team has made a significant difference in helping us navigate parenthood with confidence. The location is ideal, and what stands out most is how well the practice combines a warm, family-oriented atmosphere with the capabilities of a larger institution. The systems, communication, and overall expertise provide real peace of mind, especially in a fast-paced, modern environment. We regularly see Dr. DiBardino and Dr. Barkan, both of whom have been excellent. However, every provider we've met has been thoughtful, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. Whether it's routine check-ups or last-minute needs when a child is sick, the team remains consistently responsive and accommodating. They've also been incredibly helpful with administrative tasks, including daycare forms and other requests that naturally arise with young children. Support is always prompt, and guidance feels practical, measured, and never overbearing. Billing has also been fair and transparent, which we sincerely appreciate. One other point worth mentioning: some of the criticisms in other reviews seem unrealistic. This is clearly a high-volume, high-functioning practice serving many families, and that requires efficiency and decisiveness from the front desk and support staff. Any occasional shortfall should be viewed in that context. From our perspective, the practice operates with professionalism, urgency, and competence, which is a big part of why it's so effective. It's hard to imagine a better pediatric experience. Their additional locations in Fishtown and Bala Cynwyd only add to the convenience and flexibility. We're grateful to have found this practice and would highly recommend it to any family with young children. They provide excellent care for our kids, and by extension, our entire family.

That said Dr Berger has cared for my daughter since her birth 12 years ago. He is a model of a physician, as is the entire practice. It is superbly responsive. In this instance (which causes me to post reviews), Dr Berger called on a holiday to inquire about my daughter. But he has always been like that. He is extremely knowledgeable, and he has excellent bedside manner with both my child and her parents. He really sets the standard.

We went to another practice for years and switched a few years back and are thrilled with the care for my daughter.

We were scheduled for an annual checkup, took her out of school, got here on time, as scheduled, and ended up waiting for the nurse practitioner forever to come in and see us knowing that I had to bring my daughter back to school. They really forgot about us in the consultation room. Really no consideration for kids' school or for other people's time or schedules. I am considering changing doctors though we have been with them for a couple of years. The doctors don't seem to be around much or are always booked up and the nurse practitioners don't seem to care.... The practice has only gone downhill recently.... Unless they revamp their staff, I don't see people coming back ..

It's been a great experience so far.
