Not kid friendly. Not attentive with child, lack of interaction with child. Unwelcoming ambiance. Dr was telling me to have a good day like his job was done, um I'm confused we need to address this issue I came here For! No thank next dr office plz! And for kids sake bring something colorful to your office, a picture on the wall something.

Wonderful small practice with only 2 doctors and 1 nurse, so you always know who your child will see, and the people taking care of your child(ren) actually know them and their medical history. I have never in 10 years had to wait to get my children seen, the doctors have seen the kids in the office on weekends to spare me trips to the ER, and in general they are very compassionate, caring, and transparent medical professionals. 10/10 would recommend.

I have been taking my family to Dr. Koohsari for 20 years. He is kind, gentle, reliable, and efficient. The addition of Dr. Gandham to the office was an outstanding move. She is absolutely wonderful and my daughter appreciates being able to see a female now that she's older. Both providers have a holistic approach to the child's wellness. They address exercise, nutrition, screen time, friends, family connections, social activities, and physical health. They are showing our children that there is more to health than your weight and blood pressure.

This office is wonderful. Both of the doctors have been very helpful. Dr. Koohsari is calm and reassuring, deeply experienced, and makes my children feel instantly peaceful and happy (they tend to be a little anxious at the doctor's office). Dr. Gandham has gone above and beyond to help my child to get needed supports for special education. She has a lot of cutting-edge knowledge, but she also has a great bedside manner. She has been a partner throughout the whole process of learning and understanding my child's needs and becoming a better advocate for her.

I can't say enough positive things about the two doctors there. They are incredibly attentive, kind, and give you plenty of time. You never feel rushed. I also love their care and genuine concern about my children. I highly recommend this fantastic place!

Zero stars. Expect to wait over an hour after your appointment. The staff has no sense of urgency, they do things at a slow pace. If your kid is sick take them somewhere else.

I was so pleased with this office, short wait times and I loved all the staff. It wasn't until I brought my daughter in and Dr. Koohsari told my daughter to stop asking for food because she "didn't need it." He also told me that my daughter was obese and was going to die of kidney failure at young age because of what I feed her. She was so upset and so embarrassed.

I never took my kids back. When I brought my daughter to another pediatric doctor she told me my daughter is slightly over weight but its nothing to be alarmed about at the age of 5 and she was perfectly healthy. I only gave two stars because Dr. Gandham never disappointed.

My children have been patients here for almost 20 years. When you call the office your call is answered by a person, not a machine, and the office staff are always friendly and professional. Dr. Koohsari and Dr. Gandham have given my children excellent care from the time they were newborns right up until their college physicals. I have recommended this practice to family and friends and they have had the same experiences as well.

Love Love the doctors especially Dr. Koosari, small, intimate office. Nurse Nikki is great. The secretary is incredibly rude, abrupt and cold. does not belong on the front lines dealing with people. If i wasn't so comfortable there I would have left a long time ago because of her. I am not the only one who feels this way.
