Valley Pediatric Associates - Irene Shevelev

Dr. Shevelev came back to the office late at night to see my daughter who was feeling unwell. I thought I would have to wait four hours to go to urgent care or pay $250 to go to the ER and was dreading it. I cannot imagine being with any other pediatrician or group, this is the only place where it feels like someone still actually cares about you and your family.

The best practice. Will keep bringing my kids here as long as they let me!

My 12 year old son had a dog bite has face at 4pm on a Saturday while I was out of state. I had no idea what to do. I called and was immediately was connected to a doctor who helped me find a local pediatric plastic surgeon who was willing to meet me in the ER at a children's hospital nearby. The local ER did not help me at all. I do not understand the complaints about the front desk - maybe wait times are a little bit long right now, but where are they not during Covid? I would wait 5x as long to keep seeing this amazing group of doctors for my children - they are worth it to me.

So grateful for this practice and what they have done for my family over the past months. We have had several Covid scares and they have tested all of us (even grandparents) when our own doctors and urgent cares turned us away. My children have received fantastic quality care at all hours of the day and night. Having heard horror stories from friends at other practices about how things have been recently, I could not be happier that my kids go here.

I keep coming to this practice for the doctors. Always easy to get an appointment, albeit sometimes need to wait when they are busy. In my experience with other doctors and urgent care in Bergen County, I am more than happy to wait a little bit to see someone who knows what they are doing. I have not met all the doctors, but the ones my children have seen (Dr. Shevelev, Dr. Nicpon, Dr. Leifer) have all been great. I would encourage anyone looking for a pediatrician to look past the front office experience and judge the doctors at this practice - they make it worth it.

My family is new to the practice after getting a recommendation to Valley Pediatrics from a friend who has two kids. I have been to the office a couple of times now. Not the best waiting room experience, but my wife and I are both impressed by the care the doctors have given our son and daughter. My son had seen several pediatricians before who had ignored some signs that he was having sleep apnea issues.

On our first day at Valley Peds, Dr. Shevelev immediately referred us to an ENT and had her staff call and make an appointment for the next day even though there was supposed to be a two month wait. Turns out my son needed surgery to fix his condition and is all better now. After this experience, and knowing how we had been pretty much ignored by pediatric urgent care and our prior pediatric practice, we will never go to any other practice.

We've been going here since my son was a newborn for seven and a half years. The doctors are very compassionate, very knowledgeable and very thorough. They are also great with children!

So lucky to have recently found Valley Pediatrics! I feel like family when I go there with my children. Everyone is so kind to us, and have gone above and beyond when I've needed something. Disappointed to see the recent poor reviews, because these Drs have an unmatched combination of experience, expertise, enthusiasm, and desire to help children, and you won't find that at too many other practices. Fees are pretty standard at all medical offices I think, but the service the staff provides, in both offices, 7 days a week, is outstanding considering the number of patients they must see on a daily basis. Highly recommend!

I felt the need to post on my child's doctor! My child was sick on Sunday and their office was not only open to see him but the were absolutely wonderful! As most of you know having a sick child is nerve wrecking in itself. I was given an appointment right away and when I arrived the two girls behind the desk could not have been any sweeter! They were so caring and willing to accommodate us in any way.

The nurse brought us back almost immediately and was just as sweet and understanding. His doctor took time with us, treated him and eased my emotions. In our time of need this office was open and nothing short of amazing! Thank you for being there Valley Pediatrics!

I've been taking my child to this practice since they were born. No warm fuzzy feeling here. We never see the same doctor, they charge for everything, it takes forever to get medical records for summer camps, they care only about money. The admin staff is rude and incredibly lazy. Go somewhere else. I wish I had.

This place is a joke. First of they are rude and unpleasant to deal with, Second off I live 1200 miles away and I have been trying to get my daughters medical records from These people for 9 months. They tell me they don't have the capability to email them to me and that they can't send them to me in the mail. I pray that their medical practices aren't as shoddy and outdated.

We have been with the practice for more than 9 years now and couldn't be happier! Always get to be seen on the same day for a sick visit, always get a call back after hours. They even open on Sunday in case kids get sick (and ours do). Definitely recommend!

Very disappointed after 2 years. Took daughter in as she hurt her arm and doctor manipulated her arm 6 times without telling me to go get an X-ray. Turned out arm was fractured and doctor was twisting and pulling her arm for nothing. Caused me and my daughter a lot of distress. In addition one of the nurses was incredibly rude and was not sympathetic to my. Request to write a prescription for a blood test and telling me I had to go to the other office and pick up the already filled prescription.
