We've been coming to this office for just under a year and really like it. The entire staff is extremely friendly and the office (although under construction) is convenient and clean. We have never visited the main doctor, Dr Eckert, though. We've always seen Dr. Dumalog. There's absolutely no mention of Dr. Dumalog on their website, which is kind of strange. I'm not sure if maybe she's just part-time or what, but we've been seeing her since late summer last year. Anyways, I really like her. She absolutely considers my input on things and has fantastic bedside manner with my kids. My 1yr old hates anyone that isn't mommy, but she truly is fantastic with my 2yr old. My 2yr old used to flip out at the doctor's but now is totally calm. She's also gotten older (which I'm sure plays a huge part) but really seems to enjoy Dr. Dumalog. She never rushes out of the room or anything.
There are some negatives, however. The wait times are lonnnnng. They get you into the exam room pretty quickly, but we've waited for as long as 45mins before seeing a doctor. It's definitely not in and out, but I'm sure that's because they don't rush away from their patients. They've also rescheduled 2-3 of my visits. One was last minute and then they just rescheduled my baby's well visit a few months in advance (not a huge deal but it got pushed back more than two weeks). I don't know if this is because Dumalog isn't there full time or what, but it's a bit frustrating. They're also super booked for new patients and so if you're looking to switch you have to schedule about two months in advance.
Anways, we went thru two other Orlando area pediatricians before coming to All Star and I'm glad we made the switch. read more
