We are new to the area and based on the reviews were nervous to try the doctor's here. However we have picked Dr. Martin and she has been very pleasant and very caring in getting my child the care she needs. Please don't let other people's opinions derail you from checking out this clinic. Experience it for yourself.

Dr. Lu Medina is a wonderful doctor. She's been both my daughters pediatrician since birth. She treats you like you are the only family she's taking care of. We all love her so much!

We see Dr. Chua for our son,and what I love most about how she doesn't just tell you what she's doing, she teaches you and explains a little about the science in a very ELI5 manner. All staff have been very friendly and helpful. Whether we are sick or just for a check-up they always make us feel like we are special and important to them.

Horrible experience. Im hoping they reach out to make up for it because unfortunately Im having to take my toddler to ER now to get seen. We made an appointment for 2pm today for my toddlers persistent and worsening cough. We did not get the ladys name that took the appointment. We arrived 20 minutes early as our eldest needed pick up from school by 3:20pm.
1. They have a sign on the counter that asks you to ask about an update on the waiting list if youre not seen in 30 minutes. We asked and were told would be in soon.
2. 30 minutes later we are out of time to pick up our children

If you have a healthy child and simply need a place to get immunizations and physicals, this place does fine. It was fine for my oldest child, who thankfully has had no medical issues. However, if you have a child who needs serious medical attention, do not come here. My youngest has had several medical issues that I sought help for at ABC Pediatrics. One issue I sought help for here was my daughter's severe eczema. One doctor at ABC Pediatrics said one particularly bad rash was just a bug bite and sent us on our way.... which ended up being an infected abscess and resulted in my infant daughter

Previously went here, but after several bad visits started going to Tots and Teens down the road. This place has the most uncaring doctors. During a well checkup the doctor took almost an hour to come in after the nurses left, and when he was in there he spent less than 1 minute with my child. He checked almost nothing and never asked if I had any questions or concerns. I caught him as he was leaving and said I have a question, and I could tell by his look and how he responded that he really didn't want me to ask anything. He gave the most un-thought out response. It really took me back that a
