Report
I wanted to make an appointment but the secretary Ms. Stephanie, was very rude. I tried to repeat my daughters name various times along with her D.O.B, and she would continue giving me the information of someone else. Very unprofessional. She even hung up the phone on me.

Recently made the switch to Dr. Anands office and it has been amazing. They have great hours and large staff of knowledgeable and kind PAs and NPs. This has been the only pediatrics office that I have been to that lets the children know that they are asking their parent for permission to check them out and will only peep at their belly or other areas that need to be seen with a parent okaying it. They are great with children!
