Picking a pediatrician was hard. Everyone has "the best pediatrician ever!" but then when you start…read morelooking into them, you realize they don't take your insurance, or they are great but you have to wait over 2 hours every time, or there's only one doctor, or the doctor is close to retirement, or its in BFE etc. So I made it my mission to find someone who would be the perfect fit. My criteria was: 1. They had to be within 20 minute driving distance in case of a last minute appointment. 2. More than one (good) doctor in the practice in case of vacations, retirements, etc. 3. Separate sick waiting room 4. Perfect balance of old school/new school 5. Great staff. Kendall Pediatric Partners meets and exceeds all criteria. They are conveniently located in a place with PLENTY of parking. They have extended hours and work on Saturdays too, so making an appointment is easy, even last minute. I have called them at 9 am and gotten an appointment for 10 am! They have a 24 hour hotline. You call, leave a message and a doctor gets back to you as soon as possible, often within minutes! My daughter was born prematurely and spend a couple of weeks in NICU. The first night home was scary. (Why didn't anyone tell me babies made so much noise at night?!?!) I called them at 4 am and got a call back right away. When I said " she is making all these weird sounds...." They knew exactly what sounds they were and reassured me it was normal. I have seen all the 3 doctors at the practice and it's hard to decide who I like more. Dr. Siblesz was who we interviewed originally. She is a no-nonsense doctor, very to the point and professional. I like her honesty and how straight forward she is with all her answers. Her approach to medicine matched my idea of the perfect doctor, which is why we picked the practice after meeting her. Dr. Olavarrieta is so sweet and delicate. She takes her time explaining everything. I love her energy, it is super soothing and she knows how to calm me down. Not going to lie, when my daughter went for her 3 month check up and she told me "Good job mom and dad! She looks great!!" I almost cried. She knew how much I needed that reassurance that I was doing a good job. Dr. Llosa is an older gentlemen and you can just tell he has seen it all and has a solution for it. He was great with baby but my favorite thing is that he is a facts guy. He tells you percentages and probabilities, recent studies and professional experience. He knows his stuff! The other review on here is the reason I found this place and I am so grateful. For me, the hardest part of being a new mom is realizing how little I know. Being vulnerable isn't my strong suit, so it is nice to be able to go online and find reviews from people who have already been there. Highly recommended!

I have been taking my children to Kings Bay Pediatrics for almost 17 years. Always thought the…read moredoctors were amazing. Their current staff not so much. A couple of months ago, I took my daughter in for a checkup, and they recommended a vaccine that she needed. When the nurse came into the room, she was carrying an unlabeled syringe. I questioned her about it, and she became defensive to the point that I felt uncomfortable, so I decided to leave without having my daughter vaccinated. Later that day, I spoke with someone from the office and explained what had happened, as the pediatrician never returned my call. A few weeks later, I called to schedule another appointment for my daughter. The person who answered the phone immediately knew who I was and told me that I still would not be allowed to see the vaccine being prepared. I explained that I wasn't asking to watch them prepare it--I simply wanted to see the vaccine vial before it was prepared so I could verify the vaccine name and the expiration date as there's always a chance of human error and 2 sets of eyes are better than one. I then received a letter from the pediatrician stating that, because I apparently did not trust their office due to all of my questions, I should find another medical provider. What bothers me most is that after almost 17 years with this practice, my questions were interpreted as distrust. I wasn't questioning the doctors or accusing the office of doing anything wrong. I was concerned about one particular experience with a nurse and simply wanted reassurance about what was being administered to my daughter. As a parent, I don't think asking to verify a vaccine before it is given to my child is an unreasonable question. I was already uncomfortable after the initial experience, but the way the office responded to my concerns has now made me question my confidence in the practice as a whole. I was already considering finding another pediatrician. Unfortunately, their response has made that decision much easier.

I liked the way i was treated on the phone. I also liked that it's near my house, a small practice, opens at 8:30 am and is open on Saturday's if you call ahead. For all my well baby visits I have never had to wait more than 10-15 minutes from the time I arrived. The times that my son has needed to go in to be checked on the same day, because he was sick neither my husband nor I have had to wait longer than one hour. Today I waited 40 minutes and had no appt! I just called right when they opened and I was told come around this time. Amazing! I hear so many people complain about wait times over an hour long and I have yet to experience that at this practice. I hope it stays like that. I was even over an hour late one time to our one month appointment and I called to apologize and reschedule and they told me to still come in, because the doctor was okay with it! Obviously it isn't something I do all the time, but it meant a lot to me that they were willing to do that.

Both of my children have been going to Dr. Scott since they were young. I started off with other doctors, and switched to him due to unpleasant experiences. I used to wait for HOURS to see the doctor, but I don't with Dr. Scott. His staff greets me and invites us into a room right away. I was shocked when I first started going there because almost every doctor in Miami makes you wait in the waiting room for at least an hour. My children LOVE going to the doctor which is very rare! He talks to them in a mature, pleasant way. He even washes his hands before examining the children. Some doctors don't do that! My children look forward to seeing him. Whenever they feel bad, they ask me to make an appointment because they know Dr. Scott will help them feel well. His staff is exceptional, and they are very friendly. Whenever you need immunization records for school, or some special paperwork, they do it and follow up with you. I can assure you that you won't have to chase them down to get what you need. I'm so impressed with his office that I recommend Dr. Scott to all my friends. He is a fabulous doctor; you won't be disappointed!

Babies seriously should come with an instruction manual! However Dr. Nunez is like having one! I…read morecould not ask for a better pediatrician! :-) I was with another pedi but with a misunderstanding with insurance companies I was assigned to Dr. Nunez until my original pedi was confirmed. For the first time an insurance mix up was beneficial! The receptionist at the front is his wife, and she is super friendly, always asks how things are going, how the family is, etc. Super kind! The nurse is kind as well, always with a smile on her face, and oh so helpful! The waiting room is big, has a section for the kiddies to play, and a TV with the learning channel on, regarding children's health such as what temperature is dangerous and when to bring them in to the doc or to the hospital, food allergies, colic, etc. Very convenient when waiting to be called in, which by the way is not long at all! My total time I have been at the office is about an hour only because I ask a ton of questions. So when you're called in the nurse measures, weighs, and asks if anything has changed... then off to the room. Dr. Nunez comes in, and greets you like he has known you for years! No handshake here all hugs... The environment is very family-orientated, which makes the office warm. Does that make sense? lol You can tell he enjoys his work because he takes his time with the kiddies, and plays with them. He goes over and beyond to write all the answers to the questions down, so you don't forget, and provides in great detail what to do with medication, and etc. He informs you in great detail, and then asks if there are any questions. You may say well that is how all pedi's are, well buddy you are wrong, because the first pedi was not like this at all. They were cold. Thumbs down. Along the walls in the office are all his awards, history of school, and etc. He has a ton of recognition, being favorite, helpful. Etc. Makes Dr. Nunez that much better ;) & he recognizes his patients as well. I came to the office to pick up some papers, and walking out in the courtyard we pass each other and he stops me hugs and asks if everything is ok. I mean come on awesomeness! I never felt so comfortable to ask a ton of questions, even though they may seem silly. There are not that many rooms for children to be seen in, and they schedule patients very well, the wait time is ridiculously awesome considering it is a doctor's office... We all know when you schedule a doctor's appt. you have to cancel everything else lol funny but so true ---sigh--- BUT not the case here... Now mind you I only come in the mornings, and I have a newborn, BUT the office has been full and the wait time was not long. Okay so get this NOT ONLY is the staff wonderful, the parents of the children are as well! Every time I go we all end up talking having a great time waiting for our turn. This place again is super friendly. If you do not like to have conversations with others, be treated amazingly, like family-orientated atmospheres, then don't come here. Total amaze-balls!
