Hand in Hand Pediatrics

Excellent Doctor. We just moved out of edgewater and I feel sad that I won’t be able to bring my son to him. He is always very responsive and helpful. The staff is also very polite. I only have good things to say about this clinic.

A good doctor is always a hard find. Either you find a mildly well-​reviewed practice that is almost like a machine, with tons of patients always coming in and out. Or, a doctor with no reviews that you just have to take your chances on.
We have been to both, and then we found Dr. Chai and the staff at Hand in Hand Pediatrics. This place is AMAZING!!! Whenever we come in for an appointment, the most people that are ever in the waiting room is maybe 2, but we haven’t even had to wait more than 2 minutes before going to a private room.
If we ever have any concern about our son, we either call or email and most of the time they can answer our concerns over the phone or call in a prescription so that we don’t even have to come in.
The rooms are very clean and have plenty of things to keep kids entertained. The staff is so friendly and great with my toddler son.
Hopefully, with the amount of good reviews that they have, things won’t change when everyone finds out about them!

I have been taking my sons to Dr. Chai for over 4 years now and he has been a great doctor for my kids from the day they were born. He is very kind, knows how to speak to kids, and keeps them calm. His office is very clean, very short wait time, and great staff. He also listens to all my questions and addresses them very well. I’ve called Dr. Chai on off hours when my son was sick and he has always returned my call within 5 minutes. I am very happy with the care he provides to my kids.

Dr. Chai was awesome. I was very impressed with him and how well he interacted with my son. The dr and staff were both very friendly. I would recommend this office to anyone.

We moved recently from NJ to VA and one of the sad things I have to leave behind is my LO’s pediatrician!!! Dr. Chai is one of the best pediatricians in town with the most polite and friendly staff ever. The best thing about his office is they are also available over the weekends. He makes sure that he calls you back with in 10mins of an emergency call, he is polite and super tolerant, takes his time during visits and answer all questions, by all I mean ALL even my stupid ones with a smile on his face. His staff is always on there A game, scheduling and rescheduling of an appointment is super easy and they squeeze an appointment for you any time if there’s a need. Joanne and michelle are super nice, polite and greets you with a big smile everytime. Love the office, very colorful, a lot of toys in the waiting room and tons of parking space outside.
Love love love Dr. chai and his team.

I have been taking my two children to Dr. Chai for 3 years now. He is an amazing pediatrician — very kind, patient and has always made himself very accessible to even the most basic questions (whether via email or phone). His office is spacious and spotless. Plus, his staff is absolutely wonderful — Joanne and Michelle are super pleasant.

Dr. Chai is really, really, really amazing. Our first visit with him was when my son was a week old. I was very nervous about getting the best care for him. My son is now almost 3 months old and Dr. Chai was there for us every step of the way… to answer any and all questions I had (and I had A LOT). He’s always available and accessible to us and incredibly responsive. His office staff is also extraordinarily sweet (Joanna is beautiful both inside and out and cares so much about her patients). His care for my baby was great, but he really went above and beyond to alleviate all my crazy concerns about my newborn. You can tell his man loves his job and the babies he cares for.

Dr. Chai is superb. Saw him today for my child’s annual physical and he did a great job. Great with children (can talk about super heros), nice offices, did a thorough check, and could speak smartly about various health issues. One of the best pediatricians I have dealt with over the last 5 years for my two boys (8 pediatricians over 2 continents). Says a lot.

Dr. Chai is AMAZING. My 3-​year-​old used to scream, turn blue and pass out at the pediatricians. (not exaggerating she has breath holding spells). No More.
Now she loves going to the doctor. Dr. Chai generously gives out stickers and has an office filled with kid-​friendly accoutrements including Winnie the Pooh wall paper, legos in the waiting room and toys in the visiting rooms. How could anyone be scared in a room that reminds of their own playroom or nursery?
When he had to check her for strep once, he gave her a tongue depressor. That’s right, he gives kids their own tongue depressors. My kid now wants to be a doctor. She walks around saying «say ah…»
And, he is an awesome physician. He was able to diagnose my daughter with reactive airway and give her a nebulizer that cleared up this awful wheezing in her throat. Other doctors had said, «Oh she has a cold. It will go away.» Well, three weeks later it was still there. Dr. Chai figured it out and she was breathing better in a couple days.
We also never wait in his office. Sick kids are always given a room right away. You never see sick kids in the waiting room.
once, my sixteen month old fell on the back of her head. He saw her within ten minutes, felt her skull and saved me an undoubtedly unpleasant trip to the ER
I would recommend him to anyone. And, hopefully, I just did. A really wonderful kid doctor.
