Before it was called MVP kid, back then they couldn't figure out my sons none stop cough and sent…read moreme out to see a specialist. The specialist called me and said "we don't take your son diagnosis " . I was puzzled because from what I know my son wasn't diagnosed with anything as of yet. They said the referral was sent with "pulmonary edema" meaning water in the lungs. I called MVP kids and said "I'm sorry about that , would you like for us to fix it and resend it ?" Ummmm... what kind of question is that ?! Anyways, I decided not to go back. Recently, my kid got sick again with fever and ear aches and found out they were under a new management. I thought " maybe that's changed" I came to this office 3 times with fever . One ear infection and now double ear infection. I decided to get all the records and take him to PCH and they said they shouldn't have given me such a low dose (twice) on antibiotics. AND he decided to follow up on the earl infections , arbor doesn't care. I don't want my kids to have to see the dr so many time within a month. Save you some time and find something better. I'll drive far if it take someone to actually listen. ALSO, my sister came her when she was a pre teen . Was sick up and down and they kept saying a cold or strep or even mono.... Turns out she had lupus and was diagnosed at PCH. What kind of practice is this?!

Before…read moreDr. Gabe, I dreaded the 20-minute drive each way to the pediatrician's office, the additional 20 minutes spent in the waiting room with a bunch of other sick kids who probably had a different strain of sickness that we would all likely catch, and then the 15-minute wait in the exam room for the doctor to come in for a brief 5-minute diagnosis. The time savings are amazing. Not to mention, when Dr. Gabe comes to your home, your kids are so much more comfortable and truly act like themselves. Dr. Gabe has truly changed the game by offering his services.

The front office is just your typical front Dr. office type of service nothing extraordinary but I wasn't expecting much from them. But man Dr. Serino was amazing.. definitely going to be a loyal customer. Highly recommend him to parents with kids on the spectrum or even kids not on the spectrum.

She was very thorough & easy to talk to. I also really appreciate the separate entrances for well and sick visits. It's a simple detail that shows they truly prioritize the health and safety of their patients. I also appreciate their commitment to following CDC guidelines, which prioritizes the overall health of our community. Overall, a well rounded practice! Highly recommend them to take care of your kiddos.

As a retired Registered Nurse, I was very impressed with this Pediatrician Group. The wait time was minimal. Celia, the Nurse or Medical Assistant was awesome- very knowledgeable and kind. The office is decorated very cute. Dr. Bennett was thorough and gave my daughter time to ask questions. Dr. Bennett actually started Estrella Pediatric Group in 2005, and his experience shows. I really liked his style of communication and he was very gentle with my grandson's physical exam. Celia gave my grandson's first set of immunizations and did an amazing job. When we left, we were given a print out with my grandson's weight, height and record of visit. I highly recommend Estrella Pediatric Group!

I rarely leave negative reviews, but I feel other patients should be aware of our experience…read more My father is 82 years old, diabetic, and on dialysis three times a week. On June 24, his pharmacy notified us that his medication required a prior authorization from this office. Because the authorization was not completed and the medication was medically necessary, we had to pay out of pocket to ensure he did not go without treatment. Since then, we have called the office numerous times, spoken with multiple staff members, and repeatedly explained the urgency of the situation. Despite multiple follow-ups and escalations, the prior authorization was still not completed in a timely manner. We were even hung up on during some of our calls, making an already stressful situation even more frustrating. At no point did we feel that the seriousness of my father's medical condition was being taken seriously. What is most disappointing is that my father, an elderly patient with significant medical needs, has had to endure the stress and uncertainty of this situation. He is fortunate to have family members who can advocate for him, make repeated phone calls, and navigate the healthcare system on his behalf. I cannot help but think about patients who do not have that support. No elderly or medically vulnerable person should have to fight this hard to receive a medication they have already been prescribed. It is deeply concerning that clinical issues like medication prior authorizations appear to be handled through a call center that is unable or unwilling to appropriately address urgent patient needs. Patients deserve timely communication, compassion, and a process that prioritizes their health--not repeated transfers, unanswered requests, or disconnected calls. The way this office has handled this situation has been unacceptable. I am sharing our experience because I genuinely do not want another patient or family to go through what we have experienced. I sincerely hope this practice improves its prior authorization process, communication, and overall care for medically vulnerable patients.

I've Been a Patient Here for Years, and the Care Has Always Been Exceptional…read more I have been coming to this doctor's office for the past few years, and every visit has been a positive experience. The entire staff is consistently warm, welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring, which makes such a difference. The office is always clean and has nice decor. Katrina, NP, is simply the BEST! She is friendly, compassionate, knowledgeable, and incredibly competent. She always takes the time to listen carefully, never makes me feel rushed, and addresses every concern with kindness and respect. I truly appreciate the exceptional care she provides. She provides the same great service on Telehealth appointments. I know some people mention that some providers occasionally run behind schedule, but if they're running late, it's because they're giving the patient before you the same exceptional care they'll give you! The company may only allow appointment slots that are 10-15 minutes, but many patients have complex medical concerns that simply can't be addressed that quickly. I'd much rather wait a little longer than feel rushed through my appointment. As a medically retired registered nurse, I recognize quality healthcare when I see it. Katrina, NP exemplifies the kind of provider every patient hopes to find. I am grateful to have her as part of my healthcare team and highly recommend her and the wonderful staff at this office.
