When we called the office asking for an emergency appointment, they were able to fit us in right away, which meant so much to us as worried parents. When we arrived, Dr. Honey was incredibly attentive, compassionate, and reassuring. She cared for our daughter as if she were her own and took the time to thoroughly examine her and explain everything to us. Dr. Honey prescribed medication for our baby, and within the very first day we noticed a huge improvement -- her eczema and heat rash had already started clearing up. We are beyond thankful for Dr. Honey and the care she provided. It's such a relief knowing our daughter is in such caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!

Thank You Valley Pediatrics, Dr Goldberg and all the other doctors & staff for the superb care and guidance you have given our family.!

As an FNP, I was honestly shocked by my interaction with this office. I called simply to establish…read morecare after this practice had been recommended to me, and I informed the receptionist that we were spacing out vaccines and that my child was not following the standard CDC schedule exactly. Instead of treating me respectfully as a parent making informed medical decisions for my own child, I was immediately met with a lecture from a front desk receptionist about their vaccine policy and was essentially told my child would not even be allowed to be seen at the office. Parents deserve respectful conversations with actual providers -- not condescending, scripted education from non-clinical staff over the phone. Whether someone follows the standard vaccine schedule, delays vaccines, or declines certain vaccines altogether, that is ultimately a decision between parents and their child's healthcare provider. The entire interaction felt judgmental, dismissive, and unnecessarily hostile before I had even stepped foot into the office. After reading many of the other negative reviews, my experience unfortunately seems consistent with the culture here. Definitely not the welcoming or compassionate pediatric environment I was hoping for. There are plenty of other wonderful providers who won't force any decisions on you as a parent. Please keep you and your children safe.

So i scheduled an appointment for all 3 of my kids to switch to him, also due with my 4th child and liked how he had privileges to come see the baby at the hospital i was delivering at. The first available appointment was over a month out. Our appointment was 9:45, we were in the waiting room for about 45 minutes. They called us back to do measurements on the kids, and put us in a small room to wait for the dr. At 10:45 one of the office workers came into the room to tell us the dr was running behind and would be there at 11 (already an hour after our appointment time). At 11:20 i asked for an update and they said they weren't sure where the dr was or what time he would be getting there. With such a long delay with 3 kids, i was pretty shocked they offered us nothing to entertain the kids - no toys, no coloring, no stickers. Kids were crying after waiting for almost 2 hours in a drs office, staff did not seem to care. We ended up just deciding to leave without seeing the dr, wasted an entire morning with 2 hours in the office. After all this, they said they don't validate parking. So ended up having to pay for absolutely nothing, kids missed a day of school, we missed a day of work. I don't know how it could've been a worse experience. Bad location, bad parking situation, bad customer service in the office. Will not be rescheduling or recommending unfortunately.

We were with Dr Liddy for about 3 years, she was nice but it felt a bit phoney and forced.

Very aggravating that at the end I just would argue and demand antibiotics. For three years they tried to have pay their BS office membership and I always ignored it. Dr Liddy never picked up my son was falling off the growth chart. I'm grateful we left for a better more qualified pediatrician!

We actually liked her overall. She was warm, patient and knowledgeable and I liked that she would answer to her emails personally. I'd say my main issue was the newer front desk staff who was rude, condescending and arrogant. Other main issue was when they introduced their membership fees charging upward $300 yearly for services that are standard and that had always been free. See photo attached: these should absolutely not be charged extra as they are what any pediatrician should offer as part as their fee.

She answers e-mails and Facebook messages promptly. She makes sure prescriptions are called in right away. She calls for lab work to be done, just to make sure that she covers all ground when caring for your child. She treats each parent respectfully, and does not treat your questions like they're silly. Dr. Dafna even calls you with updates during her off time, which is amazing since she's also a busy parent! For the patients, she earns their trust by speaking to them and asking their permission to give them a check-up. She tells them what she's going to do, and looks them straight in the eye. She never talks down to them, nor does she ignore them and speak only to the parent. My children, who normally fear doctor visits, are all put at ease when they see Dr. Dafna, and actually are excited when they hear it's time to go to her office!

He has been a calming and positive part of our family's life since the day our son was born 4 years ago. Being first time parents, Dr Irwin always takes a moment to ask about us. How are we feeling? How are we getting along? My husband recently had dental surgery and was still recovering when my son came down the flu. While in the office, Dr Irwin noticed my husband's discomfort and took a few extra minutes to talk about what he was going through. A doctor is only as good as the support staff and this one is top notch. Every single interaction we've had with the front desk staff has been 100% positive and helpful. If Dr Irwin isn't available to see our son when he's sick (though, quite often, he is available) the other doctors we've seen in the same office are caring and thorough and put us and our son at ease. The on call nurses who are available to talk to us over the phone have always been very informed and great communicators. We even visited with an in-house lactation consultant here. The office itself is clean and bright and stocked with entertaining items for the kids. The front office is 2-sided - one side for healthy kids and one side with its own entrance for sick kids. It's been such a nice experience and we hate to have to find another pediatrician when we move. We love you Dr Irwin! Thank you!
