I had a good review for the past 6 years until this last year when everything went down hill and the whole team has been replaced. Spomenka needs to just retire. She used to have the benefit of the child in mind but now she's 100% overstepping where she doesn't need to and her focus is everywhere but the children. All I care about in the end is the well being of my children and that my concerns as their parent is heard. I asked about the new vaccination schedule that was announced publicly and was told the current president is an idiot and blah blah blah.... That has nothing to do with my child's wellbeing so why that was even mentioned is beyond me... I was simply just wanting the new vax schedule so I can keep it with my records. Came in again after that for another routine visit to be met with her "bright personality" once again but directed at my weight. I'm there for my children. Focus on them. But if she has the disrespect to say that to me I can only imagine the disrespect she has for the patients or other postpartum mamas. Her "nurse" Shelly shouldn't even be administering shots- she came in with a paper of a baby outline on it and the dr wrote on this paper which leg each vaccination goes in... at this point this nurses was confused and asked me to confirm what she was reading on this paper... should have walked out then but I was so dumbfounded. I let this idiot administer the vaccinations to my baby. DONT GO HERE! She's beyond terrible with her bedside manor and her nurse looks like she's seen better days. The only "normal" one is the receptionist Mary. And Mary is awesome. read more

This doctor is truly a blessing for our family. Her level of understanding and expertise helped our family immensely. The office staff is one of the kindest women you will meet. She promptly responds to office calls and goes above and beyond to help. The office decor is family friendly and inviting. Going to the doctors for a child can be a very intimidating and scary experience, not here! They are a such a wonderful team and it's beyond refreshing to find a pediatrician such as Dr. J, we Love her :) read more

I would highly recommend you look elsewhere if you want proper care for your child. Our original doctor was Bruno but he has stepped away and we were left with his wife. Dr. Spomenka misdiagnosis and shames children. Our child piddle in her pants and couldn't control her bladder. Dr. Spomenka's "advice" was to tell our child to stop being a dirty child and to use the bathroom like normal children to my wife and our child. Turns out after going to a real pediatrician that our child has been severely constipated and because of this her bladder would be squeezed causing her to piddle. So glad we left Dr. J Pediatrics and found a real and caring pediatrician. Horrible place! read more

We took our daughter to Dr J because she is good with treating ADHD. We also take our kids to her for general health. We have been pleased with how she's handled the ADHD treatment and find it very easy to get appointments with her when the kids become sick and need to be seen quickly. The staff is very friendly and easy to work with. That being said, we are likely going to discontinue using her as a provider. She's very blunt and has very little bed side manner. She's not warm or compassionate with the kids when they're sick and I often feel like I'm being chided by her. I do not feel comfortable having an open and honest dialogue with her if I'm disagreeing with her suggested course of treatment. Our daughter is a vegetarian who loves sugar and tends to be inactive. She doesn't like many meat substitutes or veggies, so finding protein options that aren't a little high in carbs has proven difficult. She's carrying some extra weight that we are actively working to reduce. She's at an age where she's starting to form a body image and already has questionable self esteem. Dr J felt it was necessary at our last visit to call her "chubby" right in front of her and tell us to "stop giving her carbs". While I'm well aware that her weight is an issue, I find it really disappointing that a pediatrician would say something like that in front of the child. I'm not one of those parents who thinks we have to wrap our kids in bubble wrap to keep them from getting hurt in life, but I expect more from a pediatrician. Another issue is how little assistance they give you when it comes to your mail order pharmacy. They will not call or fax the prescriptions in. You are expected to mail it in yourself. This may not seem like a big deal, but it's an inconvenience. I have had many doctors in my life and had very few who didn't work directly with my mail order pharmacy. I think most of us know by now how frustrating it can be to play the middle man between your pharmacy and your doctor, especially if issues arise. Anyway, that's my feedback. If all you care about is the treatment of illness and don't expect warmth, compassion or an approachable manner, she's a fine doctor. If those things are important to you, I would look elsewhere. I do want to mention that the PA that works there is great. Much more warm and friendly. read more

we take our children there and are very accurate with their treatment Dr spa mania has been very friendly and is very kind

After removing my child from this practice for multiple reasons, we went to a new pediatrician who requested medical records twice from Jercinovic Pediatrics. They never sent them over to the new office. I had to go in there myself and pay for the records which I was told I would receive within 10 business days. Well a month later still nothing. I called in and the woman that answered the phone told me she'd have them ready for me. So I have to drive there yet again. All this just to get my child's records. Poor practice, poor management, Very very pushy doctor. Would NOT recommend to anyone who takes their child's health seriously. read more

I went for meet and greet, considering switching pediatricians. The office staff was wonderful. The services this office provides are extensive. But I wanted to run out of there after meeting with Dr. Spomenka Jercinovic. She is very abrasive. When I told her I am on a delayed vaccination schedule with my one year old, she proceeded to lecture me on the importance of vaccinating and said the only reason my daughter is healthy is because she hasn't been exposed to sick kids. I explained we ARE vaccinating, I'm only doing one at a time. I've never felt so judged by a physician before. I was surprised considering they practice homeopathic medicine together with mainstream, you would think they are understanding of people who are hesitant of vaccinations. I was wrong! If you want to get lectured on your decisions as a parent, this is the place for you! read more

As a fellow physician, I know medical expertise and clinical excellence when I see it. As a mom, I was even more impressed by the depth of commitment and passion for taking care of kids and families here. I can promise you are not just a number here. This is the kind of place where parents bring their kids from day 1, and kids beg to stay until 21! Dr. J will tell it to you exactly how it is, and how the newest research and AAP guidelines tell you it should be. Her delivery is very direct, and I wouldn't want it any other way! read more

I went to Dr. Spomenka because she was recommended to me through a friend. When I went to my first doctors appointment, I was shocked at the way I was treated. My son has dislocated his elbow twice and I told Dr. Spomenka this. I didn't get into the details as to how he dislocated his elbow and she immediately thought that I had an anger issue and told me that I shouldn't be yelling and to stay calm when I am speaking to my son. I didn't make the connection at this point that she thought I had yanked my son while he was misbehaving. I just looked at her befuddled. I finally made the connection that she was accusing me of hurting my son when she showed me how to restrain him when he is misbehaving. I then told her that he had dislocated his elbow while playing basketball with his aunt and uncle and the second time was when we were spinning around. I was shocked that she pretty much accused me of hurting my son and that I have a bad temper. Not only did she accuse me of hurting my son but she also accused me of not feeding him a well balanced diet. My son's first word besides mama was "geen bean" because he wanted to eat more green beans. He eats his servings of fruits and vegetables daily and I tend to not feed him processed foods. If you want to suggest that I give him some vitamins, then suggest it. Don't attack my parenting at every turn. I will never go back and I will never recommend her to anyone. read more

I have been going to Dr Spomenka since my first child was born twenty years ago. I always respected her conservative approach to medicine. Does she talk very straight-forward? Yes. Does she come across like she knows what she is talking about? Yes, because she is an expert. If you are looking for a doctor with eloquent speech and will tell you whatever you want to hear - she may not be for you. If you are looking for a woman with education and experience and a conservative approach to medicine - she is the doctor for you. I never regretted using Dr. J. read more
