How anyone gave this office a bad review is beyond me. Both of my kids have been treated here for years. The doctors and staff are all great. They are everything you could ask for in a pediatricians office.

Such a wonderful office - truly caring individuals! I'm a director at a private preschool in Encino and I called for some assistance with a common childhood illness that was spreading through some of our classrooms and Erika was SO helpful. I am not a patient and still, she spent the time to explain it to me and help me take control of the situation at the school. Thank you Boulevard Pediatrics!

We literally trust them with our kids' lives and we couldn't ask for more knowledgeable, courteous doctors and staff. We've seen every doctor in the practice and we've felt taken care of by all of them. Easy to schedule appointments, even last minute. Every day starts and ends with an open drop in session in case your child gets sick overnight or during the day. They schedule appointments very well so you go right into an exam room when you get. Sick patients aren't clogging up the waiting room as a result.

Tammy is fantastic and helps to get appointments quickly. Dr. Shapiro has a great gentle bedside manner, is very knowledgeable and careful with diagnosis and treatment. My daughter has a breathing birth defect and so an office and Doctor I can trust is my highest priority. This practice is fantastic!

If you are looking for any after hour care, which is always needed when you have children, this practice is not for you. they have ZERO after hour care. They share a service with other pediatric offices and you never get a call back. If you are lucky enough to talk to anybody they will tell you to go to an emergency room? Save you time and money and find a good office in the area that offers good service. Oh by the way their offices are inconveniently located and you will have to pay through the nose for parking. They wont validate. Its about $10 for parking.
