Pueblo Pediatrics

Lets just say, yes its a bit of a wait but, the reason is because the doctors and specialist take their time to hear all of your questions and concerns. You never feel rush here and my son enjoys going without fear. We see Dr. Jere O’Brien and she is the sweetest person there. When i call to make appts i make sure I try to book in with her. Love this place & i highly recommend it!

I used to love this place all of a sudden they never have appointments they always try to schedule me with someone I don’t even know the only reason I go there is because of dr Espinoza his never there now it’s 8:26 and my call can’t even get through for an appointment so I have to go to the er it’s ridiculous.

This review is for the Vineyard location in Mesa. I liked this place before they had two locations and before all of the friendly, patient and knowladgeable doctors left. My children have been going here for 6 years. Dr. Ceminello (spelling?) Was a teriffic pediatric doctor. He was always so friendly with the kiddos and made them feel comfortable. We were sad when he left the practice. Dr. Salek was also a great Dr. I was comfortable asking questions and he took his time, we never felt rushed. Dr. Espenosa while knowladgeable is always rushed, overbooked, we are being pushed out the door before feeling confident in his diagnosis. He also pushes the flu shot like non other. I have never waited less than a ½ hr and usually closer to an hr to be seen. It is due to the changes in Drs that we are looking for a new office for our children. The office staff is friendly.

I love this place ! Nurse Geri and dr chiles !!! My kids all go here I was dr chiles patient when I was younger !!!

Love this office, as well. I have been to both and would see either doctor. Wait time is quick and getting in for an appointment is easy.

WE LOVE DR. SALEK! He is the kindest man and so easy to talk to. He’s so good with children and I like the way he includes my child in the discussion. My child is not intimidated by him and really trusts Dr. Salek. After being let down by another highly recommended pediatrician in Gilbert, Dr. Salek swooped in and really saved the day as we were having some serious issues. All is well now, and we continue to visit Pueblo Pediatrics for all our child’s needs. Thank you, Dr. Salek :) :) :)

We have been going to PP for over 17 years. Dr Chiles and Dr Salek have been my children’s doctors from the beginning. We have seen a lot of faces come and go. Now that PP has merged with another very large group, it just isn’t the same. I still love our doctors and that is why we stay as my children are older now and need less frequent visits. This office just doesn’t have the same family friendly feel it once used to.

While we have always received good service from the medical staff we always wait forever in the waiting room to be called into a room and then we wait even longer for the doctor once we get there. The staff is nice and the facility is clean.

I love Pueblo Pediatrics. We first started going due to Dr. Chiles and loved him. Our daughter had issues at birth and he stayed on top of everything. Then for a couple of emergency visits, he wasn’t available and we were given Dr. Salek. We loved him even more (which I didn’t think could be possible). He takes the time to answer all of your questions and my daughter loves him. They recently have become affiliated with Banner and their wait times on the phone can be a while due to this (before the affiliation wait times were not that bad). The doctors more than make up for any problems with waits.

I took my kids when they were younger to Pueblo Peds and they were ALWAYS amazing great! They were speedy, helpful and always concerned about the care for my children. I highly suggest them!

We have been taking our kids here since our first was born in 2009. We absolutely love Dr. Salek. He’s patient, doesn’t rush you, and genuinely cares about your kids. Definitely qualities everyone should look for in a pediatrician! The only tiny complaints I have is that 1) The exam rooms could be a bit more kid friendly with the decorations, etc. and 2) Certain nurses are not the happiest people to deal with but that’s it! We love both locations.

These guys are the best. NEVER more than a few minutes wait to be seen and as others have said, both Dr. Salek is patient and kind and will take as much time as you need to answer questions for either parent or child.
We’ve been going to the Mesa office for years and just recently had to call on a Sunday. The answering service was similarly kind and Dr. Ciminello called back in less than a minute, was thoughtful, generous and patient. Put my mind at ease and was great. Every thing you’d want for your child. Yay for the awesomeness that is Pueblo Peds!

I love pueblo pediatric also! And, also surprised there aren’t any reviews!
There staff is always friendly and helpful. Rooms are always clean.
I take my baby to Dr. Salek. He always answers all of our questions and never makes us feel «stupid» for asking. He also takes his time and even asks us how we are doing. Most physicians these days are in and out of the room before you can even feel like your questions are answered, but Dr. Salek really takes his time.
I went in during a very busy day… flu season actually. My baby had a fever and I called the office to fit me in. They did surprisingly and I saw Dr. Salek. He examined my baby and reassured me his fever is fighting off infection and not to worry. Well as any mom, I was worried and continued with my questions… I was there for 30 min with him and not once did he make me feel rushed. I even thanked him for squeezing us in and he replied «we would rather stay later to see all our sick patients than to send you to urgent care because we are overbooked».
Now that’s what I call service… if only MY doctor would fit me in and not send me to urgent care!
I haven’t seen the other physicians but am sure they are just as good! Also, they are a private practice from what I know so each physician owns part of the practice… meaning they take pride in what they do!

I’m surprised there isn’t any reviews here about PP. They have two offices, one in Mesa and one in Gilbert. I’ve never visited the Mesa office so I can’t rate that one.
Dr. Ciminello is hands down the best doctor in all of Arizona. We recently had our first son and of course had lots of questions. He took the time answered all of them, didn’t make us feel retarded or rushed. PP has two other doctors, however we haven’t used them, so I can’t comment but I highly suggest Dr. Ciminello for all of your babies needs!
EDIT: As of May of 2012, Dr. Ciminello left and went to Desert Shores Pediatrics. We tried to stay with PP but the quality went down over the past few months, therefore I’ve changed my rating from 5 to 3… We ended up switching over to Desert Shores to continue going to Ciminello and have been happy.
