My son is now 19 and my daughter will soon be 21. They began seeing Dr. Schofield when my son was…read moreborn, so we have a long history with the practice. I can't begin to praise Dr. Schofield enough. I wish I'd had such a great pediatrician when I was a kid. He gets down to kids' levels and treats them with respect and kindness. As my own kids have grown, he continues to speak to them with respect and values their contributions to their conversations. Medically, he's never steered us wrong, and we've been grateful for his insight and advice. Luckily, my kids never had overly major problems, but even so, we always felt in good hands with Dr. Schofield there for us. Once my daughter became a teen, she wanted a female doctor, and she found an excellent partner in crime in Dr. Sheldon, who also practices at Arlington Pediatrics. My daughter loves Dr. Sheldon (as do I) because Dr. Sheldon makes my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed, even when she was going through typical teen issues. It was always Dr. Sheldon who could speak to my daughter about concerns that I had, without ever letting on that it was mom who wanted certain issues addressed. My kids will soon age out of this practice, which makes me somewhat sad, but I'm happy that the experiences that they've had with Arlington Pediatrics have set them down the path to experiencing excellent in health care management.

We have been with the practice -- and Dr. Zeman specifically -- for 17 years for our two children…read more(now adolescents). Dr. Zeman is EXCELLENT. She is super responsive, always knows the research and best practice, and very compassionate. My children love her. As parents, we have been counseled and supported by her more than once during major family transitions/challenges. Highly recommend Dr. Zeman and the practice.

I had the most amazing experience with Tova Health. My baby was born this winter during a brutal…read morecold snap. I was so grateful to have Dr. Z come to my apartment to care for my newborn and me. Dr. Z is knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. The model of having the first two months of my child's care from home was so comforting- it allowed me and my baby to stay in the home and rest and heal after delivery. Meg from Tova health handled all the admin stuff. She made scheduling, paperwork, and setting-up the patient portal super simple. When it was time to transition beyond the first two months of care, Dr. Z and Meg helped us find the best pediatrician and make sure they had all our records. Awesome experience! Tova Health is the best!

I experienced a traumatic birth. One of the better things to come out of it (besides my daughter)…read morewas meeting Dr. Z. I was not able to get out of bed for over a week after the birth, so our first meeting was with her sitting at the foot of my bed. Thank goodness we chose her for my daughter's pediatrician because there was no way I would have been able to take her to an office. I really needed the fourth trimester care to help me process the trauma from birth, and Dr. Z let me cry and repeat the story over and over again. I'll never forget the time she hugged me and promised me something good would come out of it. She was also provided excellent care to my daughter. I will never forget our crazy first meeting and her kindness. She listened and provided me care when my own OB/GYN's office failed to do so. It is absolutely ludicrous the postpartum care we receive. This fourth trimester care model should be mandatory everywhere.

Let me start by saying that I have no issues with Dr. Kerbel, but dealing with his office staff is…read morethe worst customer service experience I have ever had to deal with. I honestly don't know how they still have jobs. I dealt with this doctor's office for a year and these women have been so rude and disrespectful every single time I had to call for something or saw them in person. It was to the point where I felt uncomfortable calling about health concerns I had with my baby. Their tone of voice was so condescending and always made me feel like everything was my fault and I was doing things wrong - imagine that for a brand new parent. I don't know what makes them so entitled but they are the reason I am leaving this practice. The doctor is great but I will not be spoken to like that ever again. Even now that I called to try to come in and sign a medical release form and get my child's records, the woman on the phone basically told me that she doesn't have time for me and maybe I could get it in two weeks. The worst part is she LAUGHED on the phone when I asked her for these things. Not in a nice way but in a condescending "you are so dumb" way. Then she proceeded to tell me the office is closing soon when online and everywhere it states they are open until 4:30 PM (it's 12 right now.) She obviously just wanted to get me off the phone. I DO NOT recommend this place. The abuse from the staff is just not worth it. We have enough to worry about as parents.

Dr Bakshi and her small team epitomize what personalized care can be. It is Dr B, her amazing nurse…read moreMichelle, and front desk mastermind Michael in the office-- that's it! When you call, you get a familiar voice that knows your family. Dr Bakshi is a lactation educator as well and was incredibly supportive and helpful on my breastfeeding journey with my first baby. If you're looking for a doctor who not only understands the challenges of nursing and pumping but will cheer you on and educate you, you found her. Their office is also in network with Children's Hospital. When my daughter had issues that required additional specialist support, we were able to see the best of the best in Boston and notes were shared seamlessly with Dr Bakshi's team. Their on call support over nights and weekends is also phenomenal. With a newborn I used the service a few times and always got immediate compassionate care. I can't recommend Dr B and her team enough. My first inclination is to gatekeep this amazing office because it is so small! But every family and child deserves great care.

I honestly cannot say enough good things about this office. From the front desk staff to the nurse…read morepractitioner to the physicians....they are amazing! As another reviewer said, they care. Pure and simple. It absolutely shows in everything they do. The front desk staff know me when I call & know my boys by name when we arrive for appointments. Dr. Bross is so warm & caring. He knows his patients and gears the discussion toward where they are developmentally. My older son has global developmental delay and is medically fragile. Dr. Bross has never missed a beat in dealing with him. He helps talk me through concerns and always reassures me that I know my son best. I deal with many, MANY doctors and I can tell you from experience, this is very refreshing. Maureen, the nurse practitioner, is wonderful. It's hard for me to explain the depth of her caring. Suffice it to say, she has become a third grandmother to both of my boys. I truly consider myself lucky to have found such a caring group of people. We recently moved to Watertown to our "forever home" and I refuse to find another pediatric office. I will trek the extra 15 - 20 minutes to go to Mystic Valley Pediatrics. As for the other more basic things that will play into people's decision of whether or not to choose this practice....parking is easy, there is free parking lot. The office is located right off of 93, so it is easy to get to from multiple locations. They are affiliated with Alewife Brook Pediatrics in Arlington (right on the border of Cambridge on Mass Ave.). Between the two practices, they have coverage every single weekend as well as Monday - Thursday until 7pm. The weekends alternate between the two practices and the physicians are available for sick visits only. Same goes for the weeknights between 5 & 7; they alternate nights (Mystic Valley covers Tues & Thurs and Alewife Brook covers Mon & Weds). That being said, they are able to fit patients in for a sick visit the same day when needed. At most, you'd have to wait until the next day, but we've never had to do that unless I requested it to begin with.

Thank you Mystic Valley Pediatrics for all you do, you all are great!!

I cannot say enough nice things about Lexington Pediatrics. My son has been a patient here since he…read morewas just a few days old, and the staff has always been nothing short of amazing. They have weekend sick visits, which is great and has saved us a few trips to urgent care. There is a free parking lot, but it can be crazy at times since there are other offices in the building. I always make sure I'm there early just in case I need to drive around to find a spot. The only thing I don't love is the off hours answering service. Some of the people on the phones can be quite rude, which is frustrating, especially when you are dealing with a sick child and just want to talk to a nurse or doctor. But, I don't think they are actual staff members of Lexington Peds.
