I highly recommend Dr. Manghnani. She has been our daughter's pediatrician since she was 18 months old. Dr. Manghnani takes the time to listen attentively, thoroughly diagnose, and provide expert guidance. What sets her apart is that her answers are not obvious; she thinks critically and offers unique insights. Also they recently changed the front desk staff. She is awesome! She promptly returns calls and assists with necessary school forms. read more

I called to inquire about what Covid booster was available as I'd like my daughter to stick with Moderna - the original one she's always had and a flu shot. I was told they only had Pfizer at this time. I asked if the Covid shot and flu shot could be given the same time once Moderna came in, given my little is only 3 and wasn't sure if that would be too much for her at once. I was told since that wasn't her primary care doctor, she wasn't sure if we could be treated there. I have a PPO and have never been restricted as to where I could go (not like when I had a HMO). That question was quite off putting as I got attitude about them not being the primary care doctor.... read more

Very peaceful, clean and nice area designed by Disney characters Kids really enjoy and trust staff All the staff's are very nice caring helping . Dr is amazing as well read more

Amazing doctor and staff! My 3 year daughter gets excited when we are going to doctor Rekha's office! This should tell how good they are. Fatiye (one who does initial screening)- is so loving and makes sure that the kid is as comfortable as possible during BP checks etc. You can clearly see she enjoys her work. Doctor Rekha and her assistant are very knowledgable as well and does not rush you through the appointment. The office is very clean and has toys as well. Rooms have Disney theme and my daughter always loves going to their Epcot room! I am very happy to have found an amazing doctor for my daughter and I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for a new pediatrician. read more

Just want to write this review to talk about how amazing Rekha Manghnani is along with the rest of the Drs and staff. My son has been coming to her since he was a newborn till 4 years old. We are sad that we will no longer be coming here because we are moving to TX, we are going to miss everyone here! Hopefully I find a doctor for my son in TX as good as here. Highly recommend this office! They always listened to our concerns, visits went smooth and easy always. Thanks to Manghnani listening to my concerns about my son, my son was able to get diagnosed for autism and is getting the help he needs since he was 2 yrs old. We will truly miss everyone here and hope to visit again. read more

I chose this pediatrician for my newborn based on the amazing google reviews. Phone wait times are long, and on top of that the front desk says they will call you back and they never do. My son was not tolerating the formula very well. I visited the ER numerous times and followed up with the doctor. She mentioned it was normal and always made me feel that I was over exaggerating as a first time mom. She even told me "stop, don't take him to the ER it's not serious." Eventually I got tired of it and ended up switching pediatricians. Turns out my son had a cow protein allergy and the milk was only making it worst. The new pediatrician actually listened to my concerns and ordered lab tests, I wish I would've switched him sooner! Now I'm still dealing with his stomach issues because it took long enough to get diagnosed. read more

Doctor Rekha Manghnani is the best pediatrician in Bay Area. My Kids are very happy to meet here for the wellness checkups from past 3 years. Do no think twice to choose pediatrician like her because she has more patience and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend her for your kids as a pediatrician. Five start doctor, her office is also vey big and neat in Forest Avenue, San Jose location. They also follow all Covid-19 protocols. Thank you Doctor. read more

Very opinionated, narrow minded thinking. Dr. Manghnani was kind while things went her way with me doing "what she wanted in regards to MY children" BUT if I delayed any shots or decided to take more time to space out vaccinations she became agitated, minimal, moody, and sometimes belittling me as a parent. All because it wasn't to her planned schedule of what she wanted. No respect for parents wishes, she has a quota of vaccinations to be given that she wants to meet read more

Red flag. I reached out to her office for help and the office attendant was nice. I was glad Dr. Rekha called but hung up the phone while I was explaining the situation. She never responded to email or phone call (what a bummer!). I believe that Doctors need to be compassionate and helpful. In contrary, Dr. Rekha is very rude and don't help family in need. Others might have had good experience but I didn't. read more

My husband and I recently took our daughter to see Dr. Manghnani for an acute care visit. We were promptly checked in and roomed. While we waited, our daughter enjoyed the host of books available to us within our patient room. We were informed the doctor was with the patient scheduled before us but were assured she'd be in soon. Shortly after, we had the pleasure of meeting with the PA who works here. She was thorough and did a great job of answering all our questions. When Dr. Manghnani came in, she further reassured us that our daughter was doing well. Overall, we had a great experience with our visit. read more

Worst experience with the doctor and staff. They are not reachable for any calls, they charge for every single ask and records. staff is very rude and they don't even know how to talk to the patients/kid parents. read more

We have been visiting Dr. Rekha Manghnani's office for a while now for both the kids. She has good bedside manners and always greets my kids when she sees them. She makes sure that kids are comfortable in her company. Thanks to my cousin who recommended me about her. She asks several questions pertaining to kids health, if she finds any issue she will clearly tells us the plan to address it. Also, she accommodates sick visit/walk-ins despite being full of appointments. Her new office in San Jose is also impressive with big rooms, spacious waiting area. The waiting area is full of books and had ipads to engage kids. Although I had issues with billing one time but I guess it was little complicated situation. However I would highly recommend Dr Rekha Manghnani as she makes sure that kids and parents leave happy and are comfortable. read more

Absolute disaster of an office. Went in for my daughter's 2 year appointment as a new patient, as we'd just moved to the area. When I got there for the appointment I scheduled a month ago, they tell me they have no record of the appointment. I do my best to be chill about it, and simply ask if there is anything else open. The receptionist says the next opening is tomorrow. I schedule the appointment, provide her with all my insurance info, shot records, full medical records etc. When I get there for the appointment the following day, she tells me that I'll have to pay out of pocket because I need to change the PCP on the insurance card. This is 1000% incorrect as I have an open market PPO and this Doctor is in my network. They give me a choice of paying over $500 out of pocket or to sit in the office while they confirm what should have been checked on the day before. Mind you, I am holding a 2 year old that's already been there for an hour, and has just had vaccines. I basically told them to figure it out and I would not be waiting due to their incompetence. When I got home, I triple check my insurance, and even my insurance company said how ridiculous the whole thing was, and of course the visit was covered at 100%. The doctor was nice, as was the nurse, but I won't return due to the massive headache caused by the receptionist. read more

Great doctor but the wait times are too long. You go in for a quick 5 minute visit to the doc but end up spending more than 2 hours there. They seem to be understaffed and need to do better or space out appointments further apart. read more

We had our baby in September 2019. Dr. Manghnani was recommended by my gynecologist. We made a really good decision that we chose her as our baby's pediatrician. She has always made it a point to answer all our questions and gives time to discuss our concerns. She has never rushed. We have also sent emails if we have any questions and she has responded ASAP. She herself gives a call back if needed. A pediatrician who always has a smile on her face and is extremely helpful and understanding. I would highly recommend her. read more

Bedside manner is disgusting. Completely degrading, disrespectful woman. Front desk has poor skills to work with parents. Front desk has particularly one main woman that feels self entitled to give opinionated feelings towards my child's health which is ludicrous. I'm mind bottled how clinics like this are able to remain open. I feel bad for parents, especially the children that have to come across staff that are not adequately trained to work with children. read more

Sorry, I can't really say I like the way her and her staff deal with problems and patients. There's a certain level of respect I expect when being around anyone, and the staff's demeanor did not meet my expectations. I came to the office twice. First time was a regular appointment for my kids. It was okay, but I didn't really feel a good connection with her. I showed her the bump/growth under my daughters skin on her arm and she couldn't give me any answers as to what it could be. I showed her the bump on my sons lip as well and she could tell me what that was. She gave me referrals to other specialists. However, i lost the little note pad paper she wrote the information down on, so I called her office and the staff told me they would get back to me. I waited two days, and they never called. So I called them back again, and I got the same thing... "we'll ask her and we'll call you back". Once again, there was NO call back. So i decided to go into the office and I finally got the info again(after they acted irritated with me for not having an appointment), but for my daughter, she gave me a referral for a dermatologist! My daughters bump was UNDER her skin, not on top... Anyways. I just felt like she was trying to pass off the problem to someone else so she didn't have to deal with it. There was no interest in my children's welfare. I definitely got the feeling that she and her staff just didn't care. I should have paid more attention to the other YELP reviews on here before choosing her as my children's pediatrician. We have another pediatrician now, Dr. Keswani of Los Gatos Pediatrics. Please feel free to see my review on her :) We are VERY happy with her. read more

DR. Rekah has and does a great job with my 3 children ( ages 0-7). She will always give me her Honest opinion and the current recommendations so that I can make the best choice for my children. She is very kind and talks to my kids as if they were adults and I really like the respect she gives them. However there is usually a very long wait even if I'm on time for my appointments and the front desk is a little "sloppy" with information and handling of papers. That does not keep me from coming to DR Rekah as I've loved her practice since the moment we first came ( over 4 years ago). read more

Dr. Manghnani is the pediatrician of all three of my children, and what I like best about her is that she is slow to prescribe medicine, unless it is really needed. I'm a true believer that there is a time and place for medicine, and while people are popping pills for things left and right, Dr. Manghnani chooses to educate her patients on preventative care and doesn't ignore the value of some good ol rest and patience to wait a fever out. Her use of caution is by no means an indicator of her lack of knowledge, and maybe because she is not flimsy with her prescription notebook other parents are resistant to have her as their doctor. Hey, sometimes you have to take a day off or two to take care of a child who needs rest. In the end, your child will have a stronger immune system from not taking children's tylenol everytime they have the sniffles. read more

Cool there's a Dr. In this office... But where's the friendly service of wanting to care for children? Where's the desire to want to a job you went to school for a decade for? Where's the friendliness when walking into the pediatrician to take care of your child's issues? What happened to good service? When are you going to follow through with your work? ALL THE ABOVE ARE NOT HERE! We've had this Dr for almost 2 years and have been disappointed the whole time. We found another Dr on the same street that's absolutely everything we're looking for. When Dr Manghnani was out on vacation her replacement WAS what a Dr should be like. Take some notes from her Dr Manghnani and learn how to appreciate the people that are giving you business. read more

This one is long overdue. I cant say enough good things about Dr Manghnani. She is am amazing doctor and cares so much for her patients. Her staff is an absolute delight too. Very easy to schedule and get questions answered. Thank you doctor for helping us out :) read more

The best pediatrician Doctor ever! We've had Dr. Maghnani since my oldest was born in 2008, now fast forward to today after 3 boys she's still our children's doctor. Thank you for your caring and help to keep our children better and healthier read more

She spends the qualitative time and answers all the questions. I would recommend her read more

She my daughter's pediatrician from her birth. She is the best. Her patience and time she take to answer your questions is best. Only concern i have is .. u always have to plan extra 30 min from your appointment time. But its OK...if u need world class service. read more

This review is long over due. Dr. Rekha Manghnani is currently the pediatrician of my two children. I would like to say she is an amazing physician, caring, giving, and goes out of her way. I have always been able to talk to the doctor and get my problems resolved when it comes to my children. She has made herself available through odd hours and always answered my questions and concerns. I also cannot begin to express my satisfaction with the staff. From the front desk, to her medical assistant Noemi ( I believe this is how you spell her name) and the doctor. Noemi is GREAT with the little ones. She is gentle, caring and full of patience. Each and every one of them have always been courteous, professional, and always make my children's visits as comfortable as they possibly could. I just want to say thank you so much for providing such wonderful service! Dr. Manghnani and staff are very friendly and provided me with an exceptional experience. Coming here is like dealing with trusted family. Thank you so much Dr. Manghnani. I love that I know Nevaeh and London are always in the hands of the best care. You truly are the BEST!!!!! read more

Ok doctor for routine check-up and vaccination for your children. Wait is short and office is usually less crowded in afternoons. Ample parking just outside the single story building. The lobby is very dark and outdated. The doctor is accessable via e-mails and returns calls within a working day. PLS, I am stating facts.... We found the Dr. less experienced when treating my sick child. Facts: 1. She is not up to date with new information and medicines. 2. She has a tunnel vision based on her limited experience and knows very few specialists very well. She did not know a very well known GI at Stanford and asked me whether he was an intern? Yet she sent us there. 3. As this doctor's patient, your child will not get any special treatment at any specialist's office. Poor experience at two different specialist's offices. Neither had very high regards for her initial diagnosis. Both Drs suggested that she should have run some initial tests. 4. After I told her that if the specialists don't think that my child's case is too serious to be taken to them and she can feel free to treat him herself with proper medicines. Manghnani said that she is very "uncomfortable" treating a child who presents symptoms that are less common. BTW, my child was being treated for something as common as Acid reflux. And if you check on the internet you will see that almost all experienced pediatricians move beyond Zantac when the child stops responding to Zantac. Most pediatricians have to be familiar with NASPGHAN guide-lines. NASPGHAN has giving pediatricians a detail chart on how to move beyond Zantac to better medicines. Due to the delay and apathy by this doctor, my child suffered from serious feeding aversions. This resulted into low weight on growth charts and very expensive feeding therapy that we had to undertake because he remained in pain for much longer time. I was also shocked because at one point she actually said that she does not want any "liability" of treating him with stronger meds. Someone needs to gently explain to this doctor that not treating a child or delaying a child's treatment has liability issues attached to it too. However, I have to agree that, as a person, Manghnani is a very nice lady. I have no doubts that she will return calls in the middle of the night. But...I will not want her to be my child's doctor. ---------------------------- Update: I respect the views of other reviewers but as fellow parents they need to respect other patients views and reviews too. An outdated lobby may not be important for some but during a full-fledge flu season a non-ventilated lobby can feel some what uncomfortable to parents of many infants. Especially if it is just a wellness visit. I don't just take sick kids to the doctor, I have to take my underweight child with low immunity to their office for regular weight check too. read more

Bad - Went to her from Day 1 for my daughter. Doctor didn't catch Acid Reflux (which happens in 1 out of 4 babies) and due to that my child started having feeding aversion and became severely underweight. She diagnosed so many rare conditions, and my daughter had to undergo many unnecessary hospital tests, that it still pains me years later. The last straw was when she told us our child might have HIV because of a throat infection, and we were shattered. After that we stopped all contact with this doctor. Good - Our GI quickly assured us that there was no chance of HIV, and now, after years of therapy my daughter is at normal height, weight and skill development. Also, This doctor seems to be a genuinely caring person who listens to your needs and will make time for your child. However, her ideas and diagnoses are so wild that it would be best to avoid her altogether. read more

Thank you doctor Manghnani for treating my son for a second degree burn. My son was taken to Kaiser where we have insurance from but the way they treated his burn was really upsetting for me since I'm in the medical field I knew I had to find a better doctor. I'm so happy that doctor Manghanani was fast a taking care of my soon and gave him proper treatment for him burn. read more

Dr. Manghnani is the BEST OF THE BEST! She is awesome! I love her, she always makes time for my babies. Elizabeth, the receptionist is the best too! Dr. M is super at what she does and thank God we found her! If there is ever a time that I cannot make it to the appt and my Mom takes them, she goes out of her way to call ME and let me know how the visit went. She's nice, sweet and extremely caring. She makes my kids feel comfortable and they love going to see her. I refered her to my BFF and she loves her too. ***UPDATE*** Once again...A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! My poor baby (2.5 yrs old) fell and had an open gash above his brow that needed to be glued together. At the very last minuite just as they were about to close Dr. M took him in and put him back together! He's doing better and not to mention it only cost me $25.00 bucks!!! As opposed to the Emergency Room that would have been $100.00 Wound healed + Great Dr. + $75.00 savings + happy baby = PRICELESS! Thank you Dr. M =D read more

LOVE HER!! My daughter is Dr. Manghnani's pt since day one from the hospital and I can't say enough good things about her! She is always super friendly, calm, supportive and of course...always has amazing answers for just about anything you need to know. She is always spot on when it comes to knowing what is going on with my kid, and her bedside manner is more than I could ask for. She also knows so much about Indian culture so it makes it easy to talk to her about a mix of things. And she is super accommodating with each persons individual parenting styles. Highly recommended doc! read more

Dr Manghnani is pediatrician for our daughter. We picked her based on the recommendation of my OB, plus Dr Manghnani had privileges at El Camino (where I gave birth) as well as O'Connor (closer to our house). At her initial exams after our daughter's birth (which she did in our room) were accompanied by good explanations of what she was checking for as well as issues she was noticing. She even called after we got home from the hospital (but before our first exam appt) to make sure everything was going ok. They do have a separation wall for well/sick visits, each with identical toys (however the bookshelf is shared). Over the past year, we've had great treatment from her & the office staff - always very caring and quick to return calls/answer questions/fill out forms for daycare. I've never been made to feel like I'm asking dumb questions. They've always been able to fit us in for same-day visits when needed. Overall, we're very happy with her. read more

A very good doctor so far in bay area. As we moved to bay area we tried 3 docters n finally found dr rekha. I can't thanks hee enough as she is enough patient with the parents listen all the queries calmly. Expert in her work and knowledgeable docter. Her team mainly Muskaan is really good n helpa lott with appointments and other concerns tries to help on phone sometimes. read more

We love Dr. Manghnani, she is very sweet, patient and kind with our children. She is very knowledgeable and answers any questions or concerns we have for her during our visits. I have had her as a pediatrician for 10 years now, I highly recommend her to any one looking for a GREAT doctor for their children!! read more

I think I found the perfect pediatrician for my son. The office is nice with books and toys for children to get entertained. Wait time was 15 minutes outside and in the room it was like 5 minutes. The doctor took her time in explaining things and giving us advice. She checked my son from top to bottom and made sure he was where he is supposed to be at his age. The nurses were good, friendly, and always smiling. I would recommend her and even though it was our first time she didn't let us down. read more

Dr. Manghnani has been my kids(son and daughter) pediatrician for the past six years. Back in 2010, me and my wife visited several pediatricians in meet and greet sessions, before we picked the doctor. What impressed us was her kindness and ability to address pertinent queries regarding our child's health. More importantly she spends quality time when attending the child and never rushed to see another patient. I must say there has been a couple of instances when the front desk staff overbooked appointments and that delayed our child's appointment time with the doctor. But, this was few years back and now they have a more streamlined way for appointments plus new staff. Few weeks back my daughter had a fever of 103F and we wanted to contact the doctor. My wife ended up calling the doctor's non-office hours phone. Believe, this number was answered by a person from the answering service company. We received a call back immediately on next steps and got the first appointment the following day. Both of my kids were born in O Connor Hospital. Dr. Manghnani attended our kids including mandatory pediatrician assessment prior to baby's release from hospital. So, based on my personal experiences highly recommend the doctor! read more

We really love Doctor Rekha Manghnani because she is very nice, warm, and patient to our son. When we visited Dr. Manghnani for the first time several years ago and we explained that our son has autism, she gave us a lot of supports and helps so that we could go further specialist treatment. Every time our son visited her, she spent a lot of time to listen to us and gave us advice. We are so happy to know her and she is a great doctor for all children. Thanks God for bringing her to us! read more

My 4 month old daughter's doctor is Dr Rekha. She is an excellent pediatrician who takes care of her patients really well. She is very knowledgeable and spends quality time answering all the questions and doubts. I will highly recommend Dr Rekha read more

We saw her partner, Dr. Wenner, for over a year, but when we brought our son into the office for "sick-baby visits" (as opposed to well-baby), we were always seen by Dr. Manghnani instead. We really appreciated her kind, straightforward approach and decided to make her our pediatrician. (See our review of Dr. Wenner for more details on why we made the switch.) Our son is anxious about doctor's visits, and Dr. Manghnani has been so patient and accommodating with his exams. During well-baby visits, she even invited her daughter (a few months older than our son) in to demonstrate the exam for him, which really quelled his fears. We've been very, very pleased with our experience with Dr. Manghnani. read more

I've been seeing the doctor for about 5 years now for both my kids. I couldn't have asked for anything more from a pediatrician. Office is clean, her staff is very knowledgeable, professional. Dr Rekha is smart, compassionate, accommodating (wrt appointments as well). She listens and asks questions before she diagnoses. If she is showing proof from websites, it must be 'cos you brought up about what you read online. I've seen techie silicon valley parents ask all sorts of medical questions 'cos they read a bunch of forums. She is ok with that and will help you learn right from wrong. I'm very cautious about too much medication and avoiding antibiotics - She gets me to follow the right steps. Love her directions! read more

Dr. Manghnani has been my children's pediatrician for 5 years now. She is a very attentive, patient and compassionate pediatrician. The MA Naveeu is very helpful and amazing!!!!!! However, I wish I could say the same for the receptionist. She doesn't take your privacy into consideration. She was yelling out loud my address from across the room! I have to repeat my question/concern for her too many times. Her organizational skills are horrible. I gave her my sons insurance card during check-in, however, as I was leaving, she didn't even scanned it and was giving me another patient's insurance card. She is the only reason why I cannot give this place a 5 star. read more
