Hello my two children have been with the practice for over 20 years and will soon age out. I have known the staff and doctors personally. I must share that the way the healthcare industry is placing stringent rules on providers (insurance companies that is), the care for my children has always been most exceptional. They always assisted above and beyond the care. One if my kids has a variety of medical issues and it can be overwhelming to treat but in all the years we were met with professionalism, kindness and compassion. Thank you so much Kidscare Pediatrics!

My daughter was seeing Dr. Schwatz since she was born in 2016. She is very thorough, detailed and knowledgeable. I still remember when my daughter had milk allergy and had to switch to different formular, she watched my daughter symptoms carefully. She always tell me to try all the home remedies before jumping on medications. We moved to the city few years ago and couldn't find any Peditrician is as good as her. Wish you all the best Dr. Schwatz. From Nguyen's family.

Worst pediatric I have ever seen! They didn't give my kid the standard vaccines shot which are required by the school before Kindergarten! When we go their office to require the vaccines, the nurse said we have to wait until the next year we'll check, now my we received notice from school that my kid cannot go to school tomorrow because of the lack of 2 vaccines!

All of the doctors, PA and nurses are great. So far we've had a great experience with Claire Werner and Anna Schwartz. The wait is sometimes long. However, some of the appointment staff are quite incompetent. It happened twice already that we would make an appointment, it would be confirmed and when we show up, they would say that we don't have an appointment. In this day and age of electronic appointments, there is no excuse for such utter incompetence. We almost switched offices because of this, however we are very happy with the doctors and nurses, and this is why we are still with them.

I had an appointment for 12:10 due to my side hurting and I went in. I got there at 11:45 and waited. There was one other person. They got called and I was still waiting. Two more people came in and they also got called before me. Another person came in and for the second time they were called before me even though i was here first. I went to them and said why wasn't I being called and they said that my appointment was after theirs. I waited an hour and a half before I was called. Horrible staff and service. The doctor Anna is the only good one there.
