Pediatric Associates

Dr. Leitner has been my pediatrician for over 12 years now and I couldn’t be any happier! She talks to my kids very openly about their healthcare and makes them feel at ease, even when they have to get a shot. The office does a great job trying to fit you in when your in need. It’s a definitely an office we can count on.

I finally decided to write a review because last week I took my daughter to get her 5 year immunization shots. I was prepared, equipped with candy and stickers, to ease her after the usual traumatic experience. This time we had nurse Jenny and I must she was absolutely amazing. My daughter did not shed one tear! I am proud of my big girl, but also thankful that Jenny took the time to calm any fears my daughter may have had before beginning the process.
I have been taking my toddlers here since they were born. I appreciate that Pediatric Associates has extended hours as well as the option to book same day emergency appointments for your sick child. The décor is nice and colorful and they always have children’s movies playing in the waiting area. My kids usually see Dr. Lirman or Dr. Pages and I have no complaints. One of the major cons is that there have been occasions when I have had to wait well over an hour and a half to see the doctor even though I had an appointment. Also the elevators either take forever or are sometimes not even working at all.

I love this place. My son has been a patient here for years and we are very happy. Doctors and staff are awesome, specially Dr. Pages, my son’s Dr for the past 2 years. The décor is also nice, kids dont get bored with the tv games and you have an awesome view so the wait is not terrible.

Great place, the people and the location are first rate. Dr. Leitner is amazing, our whole family loves her. Have been taking my kids there for many years.

Been a customer for over 4 years with 2 kids. The doctors are great and the service is top notch. We have seen maybe five different doctors over the time we have been with the Pediatric Associates and all have been really nice and knowledgeable. True that you have to wait sometimes — but that has been my experience with all pediatricians and the best recommendation is to book appointments early in the morning and come on time.

I would give 0 star here. They are too slow and not organized. Two toilets are overflowed and they are not professional at all. Folks, please believe in the review result in Unilocal why ppl have been giving low rates on here. Do not even try to come here!

I really like the location and décor. They need to install a megaphone to call the patients in the waiting room.
I have taken my son twice in the last month for different issues. My son and I really feel comfortable with Dr. Mizrahi. In the future, I will always ask his availability whenever I make an appointment. We have been fortunate that he has been available both times.
The office staff and nurse really require additional training on customer service. The nurses have terrible bedside manner. The nurse swiped my sons throat without warning him how or what he would feel. She was very rough and left him in shock. When you bring a sick child they want to be cared for as they are at home. The office staff can barely crack a smile and say hello cheerfully. In my experience, an unhappy staff reflects on management.
I hope someone from their office does read this and makes some changes. It’s a shame when employees are unhappy in their work place.

We see Dr Susan Leitner at the office and really love her. She is very professional and sweet with our girls. She knows our daughter by name and she is Very on point. My husband loves her too. She took care of our premie daughter since she left the nicu and dr leitner was on top of everything (specialist which were a lot of them, asthma, broncholitis, eye doctor, physical therapy, umbilical hernia and heart monitor)

Here is the pattern with this office. You come in, fill out a «Health Record Update» and wait at least 30 min in the waiting room. Afterwards, they call your name, you go in, they weigh your child, take their blood pressure, and take you to a room. There you will wait at least another 30 min… this is with an appointment.
My child is crying about an earache and I said, «Don’t worry honey, we are here. You’ll feel better soon.» My child started to cry and said, «No I won’t. We will be here waiting for another two hours!!!»
By the way this is the second time, I have visited them since Tuesday night… and my child didn’t have any evidence of an ear infection.
Pediatric Associates YOU SUCK!!!

Great doctors and staff. Our children having been going since birth and we could not be happier. Longer hours than most pediatric practices in the area and weekend hours. They will always squeeze you in for a sick visit. Also, appointments can be made online through the website.

The staff in the front desk are very rude and the amount of time it takes them to attend us is just too much. They are not organized whatsoever. My daughter and I have once gone through 3 hours of waiting.

Extremely slow service and poorly organized. The doctors are friendly but seem very rushed and stressed out.

Every single time we come here we are waiting between 2 – 3 hours to see the doctor for around 5 minutes.
To wait there for so long with my two kids (3 years old and 5 years old) is just terrible. The kids are getting cranky and hungry.
Nurses are ok, but always try to get the responsibilities to someone else.

Absolutely awful since dr. Gomez relocated to a different location, the MB service has declined drastically. Avoid dr. Nakas-​mizrahi at all costs. He completely misdiagnosed my child AT 2 consecutive appointments that were 48 hours apart. A fever for 8 days doesn’t qualify as a viral infection! No blood work or urinalysis was done. He missed a sinus infection and an ear infection. Go back to med school, dude!

I have been taking my son there for a year now and I am truly happy with the service. I have never waited for more than 30 mins and have always felt like the staff were all very friendly and comforting.

Worst staff I have ever come in contact with. Very unprofessional nursing staff! I know we are in South Beach and the customer service is questionable here, but I’m surprised they still have clients. I highly recommend that no one put themselves or their children in the hands of these type of people. If you do decide to try them out, believe me that it won’t be long before you see exactly what I am talking about. Good Luck!

Extremely unprofessional front desk staff. They are rude and have an attitude. If you book an appointment expect to wait between one to two hours. The doctors are great but the wait times are unbearable.

Muy mala experiencia. Le di tres oportunidades quedando con tres médicos distintos y cada otro era peor. La recepción muy fría, se espera mucho incluso los recién nacidos. Los médicos siempre parecen no tener tiempo para ti, no contestan a las preguntas que con primer bebe nosotras madres tenemos muchas. Nunca me han preguntando: ¿tiene alguna pregunta? No avisan qué vacunas están poniendo, añadieron a mi hija seis centímetros de más… si tu mismo no preguntas no te informan de nada. Y todo con mucha prisa menos el tiempo en sala de espera MUY LARGO. Parece una fábrica y no asociación que cuida nuestros hijos. No la recomiendo. Es perdida de tiempo!
