Mahfoud Amjad MD

I first met Dr. Mahfoud in the hospital when I was about to give birth to my first daughter. I had preeclampsia and he was there waiting for my her to arrive as I was pushing her out. As soon as she was born he took her and examined her, a few hours later he came into the room and updated us on our daughters condition. He seemed concerned yet very professional. That was 13 years ago and now he takes care of all 4 of my kids. He was there to see them all as they were newborns in the hospital. He’s a great Dr. and truly cares about his patients and best of all my kids love him!!! His staff is also very nice and can always squeeze you in if your kids are sick. I feel so blessed to have found him!!!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! My kids were all seen by Dr. Mahfoud for years till our insurance switched! He is the best doctor I have ever known! He was there for all of them from birth on till when we couldn’t see him anymore! The staff is hands down the best office staff I’ve ever come into contact with! I will truly miss seeing all these friendly faces that took the time to remember my family and I! If you appreciate a doctor and office staff that invests time into getting to know your family and offering up the best way possible to treat them when I’ll, don’t hesitate to bring them to Dr. Mahfoud!

Dr. Mahfoud is a good doctor. He has a great office staff, the exam rooms are spotless. Appointments are easy as are emergency appointments. Dr Mahfoud was there for the delivery of our son at Foothill Pres, since mother was considered high risk, something we really appreciated.
We switched pediatricians, around 18 months we did not see eye to eye with Dr. Mahfoud. When we had complaints of colic we seemed to be treated as we were making a mountain out of a mole hill. There were multiple concerns that fell upon deaf ears and at times felt dismissive. They were attributed to us, per Dr Mahfoud, as being anxious parents. This was not our first child. I am an ER nurse and have worked pediatrics over the last 20 years. Mom is a physical therapist who works with brain injuries. We pointed several things out things such as no eye contact, he did not seem to recognize voices, the constant crying, not liking being touched, would not lie on his back, hand flapping, constant arching of the back, constant flicking of the tongue, chronic vomiting, constipation, and other things that just weren’t right. We were told that this was attributed repeatedly to us being anxious and «if any of this was true he would have not gained weight and died». Tensions simply just rose between us so we changed pediatricians. It turned out that our child is Autistic and very delayed, we are glad we switched although the new pediatrician could not figure it out either, she did not dismiss us and instead referred us to Regional Center who figured it out. And I am so glad we did, as our son has hugely benefitted from the proper referral and thriving. The change was warranted just simply because the communication between us and Dr. Mahfoud was ineffective.
I have a tremendous amount of respect both for Dr. Mahfoud and Dr. Fermin, and would not hesitate to allow them to care for our son if he was ever hospitalized, as I have worked with them over the years, he has done great by many, and I have never observed him talking to parents as he did us. I would still recommend them as they are the best pediatricians I have worked with. Thank you.

Great staff very friendly. Dr. Mahfoud was very good with my daughter when she was sick and took his time listening to me and explaining her diagnoses. He didn’t just prescribe medication because it wasn’t really necessary unlike some doctors do. Highly recommend.

Dr. Mahfoud has been taking care of my children for nearly 15 years. He is very knowledgeable and caring. I recommend him without question. Office staff is always professional and very respectful. He spends time and explains things so we can understand.

I have to agree with you Sandra P. I have triplets and Mr. Mahfoud had seen them since they were born. Unfortunatly we relocated to San Pedro and I have to say I really miss him and his staff. The nursing staff is awsome always answer question. Never had to wait a long time to be seen when one of my triplets were sick. If I have questions the nurces do not wait to have the Dr. calll me they will have a nurse talk to me. They have a separate room for sick kids. I am now having a hard time finding one near San Pedro. I had one in Torrance that was really bad. If anyone knows a pediatrician in San Pedro or around San Pedro, like Torrance or Carson … please help.

We’d recently relocated to the SGV and switched insurance coverages as well — so I needed to find a new pediatrician for our toddler daughter. Previously we’d had Kaiser and I was not impressed with their level of attention and medical care — I thought they had a terrible pediatric department!
Luckily another SGV mom recommend Dr. Mahfoud. Dr. Mahfoud is a great doctor and his staff is friendly. He took his time to listen and he encouraged as many questions as he could get out me. The office, like the building, is old school but its large & nicely decorated — murals of nursery rhymes cover the walls and there are seperate waiting roms for sick and well patients.
When my daughter had a 5 day fever he was very attentive — bringing her back for a follow up, and sending her out for a chest xray and urine labs @ Foothill Pres Hospital right next door. His staff called the same day to give me the results! WTH? Shocking!
I’m glad to have met Dr. Mahfoud — I highly recommend him — I feel like this doctor treats me as a partner in my daughters care — not just the person paying the bills.
