As a parent, finding the right pediatrician is crucial, and Agoura West Valley Pediatrics has…read moreexceeded all my expectations. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming and kid-friendly, which immediately puts both children and parents at ease. The entire staff is incredibly professional, compassionate, and genuinely caring. ALL the Doctor's are phenomenal. They take the time to listen to all concerns, answer questions thoroughly, and provide clear, practical advice. What I appreciate most is their ability to connect with my children, making them feel comfortable and safe during check-ups and vaccinations. The office is well-organized, and appointments are easy to schedule, with minimal wait times. I highly recommend Agoura West Valley Pediatrics to any family looking for exceptional pediatric care. They have created a warm, supportive environment where my children receive the best possible medical attention.

DO NOT let your child see Dr. Weidmen. My son just came from an appointment with him, and it was…read moreabsolutely traumatizing. He gave my son ZERO prep for a nose swab and then very aggressively shoved it up his nose, making my son cry and thrash in reaction. He then used a tongue depressor very forcibly and without warning to do a swab of his throat so aggressively that my son immediately threw up in reaction to it. My son is three years old, and while I understand medical tests can be difficult for them, if the doctor had given me ANY CHANCE to prepare my son for what was about to happen, this could have gone differently. My son was crying, asking what was happening to him, and said he didn't want anyone to touch him anymore. This is not how a three-year-old should feel after a doctor's visit. This type of experience is what makes children scared of Drs. and is completely unnecessary. I will say, outside of this experience, we have loved this practice--especially my son's two primary care providers (although they have both left the practice at this point--sadly). There are so many wonderful doctors and nurses here, but this experience with Dr Weidmen was SO BAD that I had to let other parents know that he should be avoided if possible.

I'm changing my pediatrician again. The office people are extremely rude, the only person I…read moreactually like is the nurse who gives my son and daughter shots. I called them because twice they set up wrong appointments and I was angry after the 3rd time and they didn't even make the situation better they just hung up on me. You guys are not professionals. I'm extremely saddened that they treat parents like this, I'm always a nice person and when I walk up they don't even greet you or look at you in the eye and scold you if you don't bring in your insurance card, (they make copies of your insurance every time. ) They are just rude, unprofessional and only care about the money. I want a pediatrician that cares about my kids as well as us. If your looking for a great person to care for your kids this is not it. Dr. Weidman doesn't even look at your kid he's just very robot like and looks like he can't wait to get out of the office. Dr Bierman is nice but not worth the office staff and their problems.

I really appreciate all the lengths they go through to care for me and my family. Dr. Tanya even checked on me when I was dealing with my own health issues after my daughter was born.

My children have been seen here for years: 7 to be exact. I love the staff. The doctors are…read moreattentive, caring, and thorough; exactly what every parent wants and expects from a doctor. The nursing staff are patient, and kind; exactly what I expect, as well. However, ever since the medical group went "corporate" a couple years back, making appointments have been very challenging. No, I don't want to talk to someone in a call center. No, I don't want an appointment for today. No, I'd like to make an appointment for an annual checkup more than two weeks out. No, I don't want to call back next week, because you can't make appointments more than two weeks out. I would like to talk to a live person, at the office, who understands my needs. This new management system is sadly very unimpressive. If I can not reach the staff for my needs today, I'm afraid to know how difficult it would be if I need to reach them during an urgent moment.

It seemed like she was hating her job that day. She also seemed combative. I specifically chose her because I wanted to support a WOC medical doctor and thought she might be a good fit but I was sadly mistaken. I didn't even complain but I think she knew she was being a snarky because she offered a subtle apology -- saying she didn't want to leave a bad impression or something along those words. I just told her it was fine but after I left the appointment, I thought about it and realized I really didn't like the way my time there made me feel. Even my daughter noticed it. On the other hand, the front desk stuff were very nice.

The receptionist (with lashes) consistently rude, unhelpful, and lacks basic professionalism when interacting with patients. Simple questions are met with dismissive attitudes and lacks any kindness. This is especially disappointing given that the physicians appear to be highly qualified. Unfortunately, the front office does not reflect the same standards. The front staff represents the practice, and their behavior leaves a very poor impression. I strongly hope the doctors and management address this issue, as no patient should be treated this way in a medical setting. I am pretty sure she has no business working in the Medical office and has no education whatsoever.

Plenty of parking in the structure and the open lot behind it (free for the first 1.5 hours) but be prepared to walk a little since Costco customers keep the parking lot pretty full. For a much shorter walk, there is also a drop off location and paid Valet parking behind the building. Venue 4 stars: Beautiful building. Access via stairs on the side or an elevator behind the building. The lab which I visited has a separate entrance directly across the offices. Staff 4 stars: Most of my interaction was automated. Lab visits are walk-ins but you do need a referral from your UCLA doctor before you go. Once you enter, you sign in on a tablet and will then start getting text alerts on your phone. When you turn comes, the text will tell you which station to go to. Once you arrive at the station, you are greeted by a lab technician who logs you in and performs the necessary lab work. My lab technician was polite and efficient. Wait Time 4 stars: I am not sure if it is always this good, but I only waited 10 minutes. The Bottom Line 4 stars: A solid option in a pleasant and convenient location. Highly recommended!
