The staff were all very courteous and concerned about my son's condition. The doctor was very informative and answered all of our questions. There was very little wait time before being brought back and waiting for the provider. Will go back in the future.

Well honestly, everyone was very professional. From the receptionist to the doctor, everyone is very professional and provides us with adequate information and yes, we are very satisfied with the care they gave our son. On my behalf, I thank you very much for your attention and your professionalism. .

Dr. CRISTINA PELAEZ VELEZ was amazing. My son was struggling to breathe and started panicking, and the doctor quickly ordered a breathing treatment. He calmed down, she checked him out and said that it's probably just a severe asthma attack and that she recommends we go to CHOA ER for follow-up and possibly x-rays. It turns out he did have an asthma attack and that he needed the additional care, as my son was admitted over night due to the fact that he needed to be on oxygen. I appreciate the thorough and accurate information and follow-up care recommendation provided.

This pediatrician should have more patience and understand that babies cry. One days I went to my normal appointment and my baby, after his vaccines was crying inconsolably, and this pediatrician sent me to the hallway because my baby is crying ugly and she couldn't explain something I asked her. It's understandable but as a mother I felt that act was very horrible. by this doctor It's Cristina Pelaez.

I feel providers should be allotted a little more time with patients so they are able to focus on what the parents are concerned about. Lesson their work load. Or give them more help.

She's not our typical provider that we see, but she was very accommodating and even went out the way to accommodate seeing our daughter on her schedule due to her having a bad cough she was concerned about and us having a newborn. We are very appreciative!

Dr. Velez was the kindest provider I've ever seen personally and for my baby she cared so deeply about us as people, about us as parents. She explained everything in detail but in a way that was kind and that was necessary for us to help our baby and we are just at the bottom of our hearts grateful to her and your practice.

I'm not sure if something was going on but I've been to this practice several times and for the most part it has always been efficient. Usually in and out in 1h-1h30min but today it took over 2 hours. Additionally when I called to make this appt, whoever I spoke with in the phone was extremely off putting and made me feel like I was bothering them, which also has never happened until this visit.

From check-in to check-out, all the staff we encountered were attentive to our child's needs. MA Monasha was so patient in getting our son's height, weight, and vision screening. Dr. Pelaez Velez is outstanding. She understands our son's needs (being on the Autism spectrum), and she was able to complete her exam while making sure our son was comfortable-not an easy task when it comes to strangers. We have been with Dr. Pelaez Velez for 2 years now, and I am glad we switched to her.
