I met with Dr. Fernandez for a consultation and she immediately noticed my baby's symptoms and wanted to treat her immediately. From that day on, I knew she was the right dr for my little girl --and we have been going there ever since. She has great bedside manner and is always happy to explain things. By the way, after being treated by Dr. Fernandez, my baby finally got back to good health. The women in the office are amazing! They are NOT robots! They remember your baby's name, are very sweet and caring, and always make time for your sick child to come in. Its actually a pleasant experience going to this office.

I'm sharing my recent experience with Dr. Laura Fernandez Ortiz at Shores Pediatrics to caution other parents. When I mentioned that I wasn't sure when I wanted to vaccinate my 20-month-old daughter with the MMR and varicella (chicken pox) shots or when I wanted to do so, Dr. Ortiz became confrontational, very rude, and dismissive (in front of my child), and told me that she wouldn't continue treating my child. I'm not anti-vaccine, but I believe in having open and informed conversations with my pediatrician. Dr. Ortiz didn't care to address any of my questions or concerns, or to educate me. Dr. Ortiz's behavior was unacceptable, unprofessional and I felt disrespected and unnecessarily pressured. I've decided to take my daughter elsewhere, and I advise other parents who value a collaborative and supportive approach to vaccination to do the same.

Here to express my deep disappointment with the ongoing care my child has received at your office…read more Unfortunately, I have experienced several concerning issues that I can no longer ignore. Dr. Suarez has demonstrated poor bedside manner, and both the doctor and the nurse practitioner have appeared distracted and disengaged during multiple visits, more judgmental This has not been a one-time occurrence it has happened often enough that I feel the quality of care is unacceptable. When I call to provide updates, I am often told the doctor is unavailable, and important information I provide is not communicated to the physician. This has created confusion and gives the impression that I, as a parent, am not following through which is simply not true. It's also concerning that the doctor is frequently unavailable or on vacation, contributing to a pattern of inconsistent care. Today was the final straw. I brought my 10 year old daughter in for a physical, to discuss updates on her medication, and to have an evaluation form completed so we could move forward with her care. At no point did I request a medication refill. However, I received a call afterward where the doctor was condescending, dismissive, and twisted the purpose of the appointment entirely. The nurse practitioner also misrepresented the visit in a way that made me feel unheard and mischaracterized. The communication from this office and in between the dr and nurse has been poor, and I no longer feel confident that my child's health needs are being met in a respectful, professional manner. As a parent, it is upsetting to feel ignored, cut off, or misrepresented especially when I am trying to advocate for my child.

I had two sick kids, both of which have gone to this establishment since birth. With growing issues…read moreover the years ignored on our side due to our love for Suarez and Aliki. I cannot take it anymore with the downright outrageous mistreatment of clients from your front of house staff. What really done it for me was the following phone call I had to dolphin FIVE weeks ago. Last month I had two very sick kids. They had no time to see them both within the same appointment nor could they actually see the two sick appointments in one day. Difficult in itself to not be able to see two children from a family at once, but okay. I've tackled that in the past. But on this occasion I was extremely worried for their health and told them I would have to go elsewhere to seek immediate treatment. I asked Victoria for my medical records so that if another doctor asked any medical records I could answer them. Only to be met with extreme hostility and mindblowing rudeness. She believed I was leaving their practice, which at the time was not my intent. I was told and I quote "well that's going to take a few days, and it's our paper and our ink so you're going to have to pay for that". (Fast forward still no records have been provided) Naturally, it went from wanting to seek care once since they couldn't see me, to never again. There is a bald gentlemen who has never ever once been kind. You are made to feel a complete bother to them all. It's been over a month, I have called and asked to speak to multiple people including Aliki and Dr Suarez to be told "well let's see if they call you back". I find it really hard to believe those two ladies wouldn't care enough to call. But perhaps I am wrong. I am from a small town in a small country and always loved that they knew my kids and were warm women. All I want is my child's records to move on from feeling so downright awful. So if anyone would like to give me a call before I seek legal counsel please do so ASAP. Niamh Zocco

Despite repeated attempts, I still haven't received a confirmed date for my children's checkups. Every time I call, I'm given a different excuse--"the system isn't working," "someone passed away," or "we'll call you back"--but no one ever follows up. Meanwhile, I continue to receive daily reminders saying my kids are ready for their checkups, which only adds to the frustration. This level of disorganization and lack of communication is unacceptable, especially when it concerns children's health.

Dr. Martinez is not only incredibly smart and knowledgeable, but he is also genuinely caring and simply wonderful with children. His gentle demeanor, attentive nature, and deep compassion made every visit feel like we were in the best possible hands. Leaving Weston was one of the hardest decisions for me, and a big reason for that was knowing we would no longer have Dr. Martinez as our doctor. Now living in Orlando with my four kids--Freddy, Nico, Gaby, and Ian--I still haven't found a pediatrician who comes close to the level of care and connection that Dr. Martinez provided. He is truly one of a kind, and I remain deeply grateful for the time we had with him. Thank you, Dr. Martinez, for taking such excellent care of my children. We were lucky to have you, and anyone who has you now as their pediatrician is truly blessed. With heartfelt thanks, A grateful mom
