    I would give 0 stars if there was an option…read more High charges for "new patient" visit: I was billed $360 after insurance, which only covered around $50. The cost seemed excessively high for a first-time visit. Unclear billing for visit time: The doctor charged for an additional 30 minutes of consultation, but I was waiting for over 20 minutes before the appointment started. It felt like the billing didn't align with the actual service time. Customer service/front desk issues: The front desk staff was unprofessional. I had a phone conversation with them that ended abruptly with the staff hanging up while we were still talking. Additionally, I felt that the staff member was not patient when I asked for clarification on my questions. I had to repeat myself multiple times, and the tone of the conversation became increasingly impatient. While I cannot say for sure, this interaction made me feel uncomfortable, and I wonder if there might have been a lack of patience due to factors like communication barriers.

    I switch pediatrics because my children's previous doctor became out of network. Our first visit…read morewas with Dr. Nigam, I explained to her my daughter has been loosing hair (most likely alopecia), so she ordered for blood work to get to the root cause. Once we completed the blood work I later found out when trying to see her result that we did blood work that had nothing to do with her alopecia and it was for kids who are starting school. I was so mad. How can you make that mistake? I ended up talking to Dr. Troung and he told me he would request for my daughter to do another blood work with the correct lab test. I don't know if it was the doctor's mistake or the front desk but my daughter is only 4 and having her redo blood work again in the same month was the worst. On top of that my insurance bills me the second time for almost 2k. The front desk said my insurance would cover it. The front desk girl would never call me to update me on anything. I'd have to call multiples times just for her to have the answer already but never gave me a heads up. This place was very unprofessional. I even tried making an appointment for my son because he had things all over his face and the front desk girl said she'd have Dr. take a look if I sent a photo and would call me back afterwards. Never called me back, few days later once my son's symptoms cleared, I get an email saying they sent over medication to my pharmacy. Like what kind of business is this. I'm currently going to another pediatrician. If you guys want a place that is on top of everything do not come here. It was so stressful and such a mess with the front desk.

We have been to this center multiple times as the winter time has created a few viruses and every time we call we are prioritized, and advised as best as possible. They don't question us, and truly seek the best for our children. I couldn't be happier with the doctors and staff here making our family feel safe , secure and comfortable with the care provided at rainbow medical center.

My daughter got sick on Monday night and we called Puri Pediatrics early Tuesday morning. They gave us an immediate appointment the same morning and were able to treat my daughter. I loved the personalized care and appreciated the quick turnaround. Also, Dr. Veena Puri was my pediatrician from the day I was born 32 years ago and my parents have nothing but good things to say about their experience. We already love Puri Pediatrics!

    Disgusted by this pediatric office!…read more I requested my twin boys vaccination records for thier new doctors. We moved and needed to find a new doctor. My boys are currently 22 months old. We complete their 6, 9 and 12 month vaccinations at this office. They failed to update the california registry with this information. So my new doctor did not have this importation information. When I reached out for this information they requested $30 for each child. This fee is unheard of at any other office! I am furious that they would have the audacity to take advantage of parents. To be honest our time in the office included LONG waits. 4 out of the 6 visits was with a different doctor because Dr. Puri was either out of the country or recovering from surgery. Inconsistency in the doctors means our boys were being mixed up constantly! At least that the impression we received during our first visit that lasted close to 2 hours!!! After that visit we separated thier appointments. Stay away

I am the parent of a very difficult 3 year old. I fully acknowledge his behavior and was quite embarrassed and upset by all of it. I'm struggling, the doctor sees I'm struggling, and she made a comment saying "this behavior is not normal for 3" . Normally if the behavior is not normal a doctor may have suggestions or ask more questions, dig a bit deeper. But she just sort of finished the evaluation and left. I obviously should have dug deeper as the parent and sought help but I guess with a comment like that I expected her to care more or show concern. So now I'm home looking up behavioral therapists because I'm just in a state of - what do I do? Previously Dr. Parker recognized my sons speech and language was a bit behind. He asked questions and immediately had suggestions and had recommended us to GGRC for speech and language support. It was really helpful and obviously necessary. But I appreciated his input and his suggestions and that is what I want in a pediatric doctor. The front desk staff and medical assistants/nurses have all been wonderful. Always very accommodating and despite my sons anxiety at the doctors and his outrageous behavior- I've never felt like they've judged me. They've been kind and compassionate. The medical assistant today, who administered shots was so lovely and so kind. I wish I asked for her name! I'm very sad about our visit. For many reasons. But that comment will stick with me for a while I'm sure.

    The doctor really missed the ball on helping both my kids. Rather than focusing on what we as the…read moreparents needed for our kids (pain management concerns), the doctor focused on assessing our kids for abuse and mental health issues. When asking for tests and lab work to be done, the doctor refused. As parents, we know our kids and simply made a request for diagnostic test to figure out what their issues are. My son had headaches for a few months, the doctor blew it off as too much screen time. He had a subdural bleed in his brain and needed emergent brain surgery to relieve pressure approx 1 week later. My wife pleaded with her to do a scan at this appointment. The doctor refused and said limit screen time and take some Tylenol. My daughter had leg pain, but no outward physical injury was noted. She did an xray after we told her it is not a bone break. The doctor did not even do a simple physical that would have indicated severe scoliosis and pressing on the nerve. She sent us off with no answers. After my son fell ill, the doctor felt a sense of guilt and tried to get us to come back to get referral for neurology. Something she should have done the first visit. So, we asked ourselves, is she incompetent or just looking for money from multiple visits. We are now seeking treatment elsewhere. I implore any parent to always check into the doctors reviews. Ask questions and insist on in depth evaluations. Ask for a complete system assessment. Needless to say we are saddened by the poor evaluations and are now facing extreme health issues that could have been caught earlier if the doctor did what she should have in the beginning.
