The only thing that is a problem is finding parking, they dont have their own parking, and the waiting time on the phone is ridiculous, the front desk people can be somewhat unprofessional.
Dr Mejia took my daughter in at a last minute emergency. Very nice and very helpful. I was in a situation where my newborn wasn't eating anything and the Dr gave me liquid formula to give the baby, i felt very relieved.

Ive been coming here for over 15 years. My daughter was a patient when she was little now my granddaughter is a patient. The service is horrible!!! Were always in here for 3 hours even if were on time for our appointment. How can you make a one year old sit around for that long. I arrived on time there were 3 ppl ahead of me, while wait a dozen more ppl show up. The 3 ppl ahead of me along with the dozen after all got called and seen before my one year old restless grand daughter. Horrible!!! Not right unacceptable!!!!

If I could rate this place less than one star I would. My uncle took my baby cousin to this place hoping for assistance. My baby cousin does not live in the United States. He lives and resides in Colombia. While visiting my uncle wanted to ensure his child was at his best health and made an appointment at this pediatrician. We had a great concern as my cousin had an abnormality we notice but was unsure what was causing it. He was tested several different times searching a diagnosis. Doctor Mejia called and advised she would call him back and did not. It has been a month since then. Child is back
