I've gone to a convenient care center - they've misdiagnosed my foot problem a few times. Other Orthopedists in the area are already booked.

I went to see the doctor who owns this business a few years ago to have a plantar's wart removed. I…read moreasked him to continue to treatment I'd had done with a doctor I was seeing back home (was in college at the time). He insisted that the doctor from home was doing the treatment in a stupid way and it would be much easier and faster to remove it surgically. Ok. Well I filled out a quick form and he took me into the office. He seemed like he was in a bit of a hurry. He injected some kind of numbing local anesthetic into my big toe and it felt painful and not especially numb. I told him this and he told me that didn't make sense, but added a bit more anesthetic. He then started cutting into my foot, at which point I cried out because my toe was not numb at all, and very sensitive because of the infection. He insisted that it was psychosomatic, and made me look away and cut in again, I still cried out, and he realized that it was actually painful and I wasn't faking. He then asked me if I had Raynauds Syndrome. I said I might? I never was told this by a doctor, but I'd read about it online and it sounded like me. He then got frustrated, said I clearly do have Raynaud's, and told me pretty aggressively that I should have told him that. He added even more anesthetic, completed the surgery, and I left really uncomfortable and upset. I ended up having to pay a big bill because my insurance didn't cover everything, the plantar's wart came back except there were 2 instead of just 1, and I still (years later) haven't regained all of the feeling in the part of my toe where he injected a lot of anesthetic. Pretty terrible experience with this doctor. Had he listened to me in the first place when I told him the anesthetic wasn't working, I could have avoided a painful and frustrating experience.

We have been bringing our two daughters to Dr. Shrivastiva for over a decade, and I cannot imagine…read morea better pediatrician. My girls absolutely love him and his wonderful staff. Dr. Shrivastiva is patient, kind, and extremely knowledgeable--he always takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure we feel comfortable with every step of care. The nurses and office staff are equally amazing: caring, professional, and so friendly that my kids actually look forward to their visits! Finding a pediatrician you can truly trust is rare, and we feel very lucky to have Dr. Shrivastiva guiding our children's health. I recommend this office wholeheartedly to any family looking for exceptional pediatric care.

We see Dr. Srivastava and Dr. Lambert - we just stuck with the doctors who happened to check on them at the hospital after birth, since we had such pleasant experiences with them there. Both doctors and all of the other office staff are great with kids and very patient with our many questions. The office has a nice kid's play area with books and such; my 5-year-old is often so excited about the books and still so relaxed and positive after his appointments that he'll want to stay and read another book before we go home. The exam rooms are decorated with wall decals and there are big mirrors alongside the exam tables that offer babies a fun diversion. I appreciate that when the nurses do vaccinations that they're so gentle and incredibly quick; the stickers they offer help cheer our kiddos up if they're tearful afterward. I highly recommend this place.
