Peanuts Pediatrics - Pediatricians Near Me - Glendale, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Nothing but an amazing experience every time we visit Dr.Kolsi she's truly an amazing doctor and we couldn't be happier to have her as a part of our child's life.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We adore Dr. Kolsi and her staff! In advance of having our twins we were interviewing a number of pediatricians to find the right fit. Right from the start we really enjoyed Dr. Kolsi, even through just a Zoom interview, she was warm and open to all the questions we had. She has been incredibly supportive and personable since the birth of our girls and we couldn't imagine having someone better to walk us all through the milestones of their first year(s). read more

Called to schedule a visit, Dr. Kolsi is not accepting new patients. The other two providers in her office only accept patients under the age of 5. So odd! read more

It's been almost six years since we began visiting Dr. Kolsi as my son's pediatrician. We've navigated some unusual health issues during this time, and Dr. Kolsi has always provided the best advice and made best decisions. Even when my son was hospitalized for a stomach complication, the only doctor who correctly identified his issue was Dr. Kolsi, not the others. She never requests unnecessary tests and knows exactly what the best treatment is for her patients. [[HIGHLIGHT]]She is always responsive, even in the middle of the night if something urgent arises.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]We've never had a problem making an appointment when our son is sick; it usually just takes one or two days.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend Dr. Kolsi to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and caring doctor. read more

My daughter used to be a patient since the beginning she was born. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On her first appt we had a bad encounter with one of the nurses. She was very rude and very impatient, to the point that my husband had to call her out for her attitude.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The encounter left us worry and wondering if we did the right choice to take our little one here, but we decided to keep going because of the great reviews. We would see Dr Kumar and she was great, but the reality is that [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was very difficult with the front desk reception. I don't know if the issue with the nurse, rub on to the receptionist, I don't know, but the front desk receptionist was always rude every time we arrive to an appt, always passive aggressive.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was always uncomfortable and I felt like i was walking on eggshells with her: its a shame.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The drs are great but unfortunately the front desk is a different story: its very unwelcoming and unprofessional.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I haven't had a chance to step foot in this office because the receptionist left a horrible taste in my mouth. I asked to see the doctor and come from another pediatrics office in the area that is fully booked. When I called to get to get an appointment, she gave me a time for tomorrow and said that one of the requirements is to obtain prior medical records. So I contact my kid's pediatrician to find out if I can do this by today and as soon as they confirmed I could, I called Dr. Kolsi's office back to book the appointment. The same receptionist I spoke to said I gave her the impression that I only wanted to book Dr Kolsi for a one time visit and that was not acceptable. She wanted me to commit to transferring permanently as a patient. I said that it wasn't explained clearly the first time I called but I was open to the idea of transferring but I couldn't make that call until I actually met with the doctor. I reassured her that if the visit went well, I surely would transfer over. She was hesistant to give me the appointment and hastily said the appointment is no longer available. I then asked where does she refer patients to pediatric urgent care when her patients need to be seen immediately and she was hesistant to give me the information because I was not an established patient. I specified that I was not asking for a referral, but the name of the location. She repeated herself. I asked why the name of a close by urgent care center is such a big secret to keep from her community? Is this not a medical office established to help people? She eventually hastily replied the Children's Hospital. If the doctor is reading this review, I haven't met you and I guess I never will because I couldn't skate past your gate keeper. I would certainly train your staff on communication skills as first impressions count! Perhaps if the receptionist I spoke with this morning, Karina, is reading this- she may take some time to reflect on how the call could have gone better. read more

Dr. Michelle is the BEST!!!! We are so sad our insurance changed and we have to look for a new pediatrician... Dr. Michelle is caring! She remembers us! She responds to emails! She loves children!!! Thank you Dr. Michelle, Evelyn will miss you~ read more

Tried to make an appointment for my 2 year old Granddaughter. When asked why I was making the appointment, I replied that my adult son was deaf, has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and nerve neuropathy. I also informed her that none of my grandchildren were deaf, had Ehlers-Danlos nor nerve neuropathy but that my son was interested in the practice because of her resume and to ensure that his children would be monitored and hopefully not inherit from him. My son has a master's from Gallaudet and teaches at our local city colleges but when I asked if they could provide for an interpreter for my son, I was told that doctor was not taking on any new patients, only newborns. I'm sure she is a very good doctor but it should be stated that her practice is ONLY taking on NEW infants. Wouldn't even give a referral! Said my son would have to do his own research and homework. read more

Heard many great things from friends and family about Dr. Kolsi. I wanted to get information, as I am an expecting mother and the front desk Ana to be exact was very rude. Kept cutting me off! No this no that. This is not want I wanna hear as a future mom. I will definitely not bring my newborn here. read more

Absolutely love having Dr. Kolsi AND her staff to take care of my children. They are in such good hands. Both my children have been with Dr. Kolsi since birth (a few years now) for routine checkups, flus/colds, covid, almost everything. I love how easy and convenient it is to reach for help when my kids get sick. The front desk ladies are also knowledgeable so they're always available over the phone during office hours or the doctor will call you as soon as she's available (even on weekends, nights, etc). Dr. Kolsi is genuinely caring and so informative that I'm always left reassured. I'm hoping my children continue to grow with these wonderful professionals caring for them at all times. read more

Can't think of enough kind words for, Dr Kolsi and her staff. You get 5 star service for your child. She has been a godsend for our daughter Mia and my bombardment of questions as a first time mom. She was available via email and telemedicine if I couldn't make it into the office my infant. Her staff is on point, intelligent, and very empathetic. read more

I am not exaggerating when I say that Dr. Kolsi is the most exceptionally amazing medical professional I have ever known in my life. We had somewhat randomly chosen a pediatrician before my son was born in February of last year, and after a couple appointments, my husband and I didn't have the best gut feeling. One of my co-workers convinced me to switch to Dr. Kolsi when she said, "Oh I love my pediatrician! I wish I could have coffee with her." I was like, sign me up! My first appointment was for my son's four-month wellness visit, and what struck me most was how present Dr. Kolsi was with our son and with us. She spent time answering all our questions and she asked great questions too. She didn't seem rushed. She was so caring and competent. My husband and I agreed that's all we could ever hope for from our son's pediatrician! Ever since then, every experience we've had with Dr. Kolsi has been incredibly positive. We've emailed Dr. Kolsi about falls, food sensitivities, earaches, viruses, and nosebleeds, and she has always replied within a few hours, even in the evenings and on weekends. She called me once about a concern I emailed her about, and I could hear her children playing in the background at home. As first-time parents, I can't describe what a relief it is knowing we have such a dependable, accessible, and compassionate pediatrician. There really aren't enough words to show our appreciation for this amazing human. If Dr. Kolsi and/or her wonderful office staff read this - please know you have made such a difference in our lives! Your work is so important and we feel so grateful for all of you!!! Five stars, highly recommend. read more

The absolute BEST! I have one daughter she's 3 and we've been with her since day one. She never rushes you which is very important especially for new moms. She answers every question and explains everything thoroughly. If you call her after hours she'll call you back quick. Honestly she's an amazing doctor. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kolsi for your children. I read a review stating that her staff is rude but that's a LIE. Her staff is actually so sweet! read more

Dr. Michelle and her staff are amazing. They are quick to respond, very professional and kind. As a first time mom I very much appreciate Dr. Michelle's availability, I'm always surprised when she answers my email or takes my call even over a long weekend. She always takes the time to answer all my questions and provides excellent care. read more

My LO is 3 and this was her first visit with Dr Kolsi. The wait are is small but has lots of toys which my LO enjoyed exploring. They also kept a basket of toys in the exam room which I though was nice. Dr Kolsi was awesome! She was super kind and took her time interacting with my daughter. She answered all our questions and made sure we knew that if we had any questions about our LO health as could always get in contact with her. Definitely recommend! read more

Dr. Kolsi has been our daughters pediatrician since day 1. We absolutely adore her and her staff. Dr. Kolsi is very attentive during our visits, answers all of our questions thoroughly (as first time parents sometimes we have a laundry list of questions). Her bedside manner is above and beyond. We hit the jackpot because not only do my husband and I love Dr. Kolsi, our daughter adores her. They make sure to see infants first thing in the morning or at the end of the day so we're not sitting in a waiting room with older kids and possible illness. She came highly recommended and is affiliated with Children's Hospital LA. As a first time parent, you want a Ped who is a voice of reason and genuinely loves your child and cares about their health - we found that and more with Dr.Kolsi and couldn't be happier! read more

The BEST pediatrician. Amazing at what she does and truly so passionate. I would give her 100 stars if I could.

Dr.Kolsi provides the kind of care everyone dreams for their child. She is thorough, compassionate, and provides a deeply personal level of care for my children. We have been with this practice since 2000 starting with Dr.Nish (who also was an incredible Dr.) of course he would leave his practice in the highest possible care, Dr.Kolsi. We are so grateful she is our pediatrician! Can't say enough wonderful things about her! read more

Dr Michelle is the sweetest . She took over Dr Nish's practice a few months ago and at first I was hesitant in how I would like the change since she is so different from Dr Nish but I decided to give her a try . And I'm so glad I did !! My girls love her since she is so sweet with them and also playful . She is very clear in her diagnoses and gives numerous options how to proceed . Also her staff is always so kind and sweet and I can always get an appointment easily . What I love about the place is you don't have to wait long to be seen . They honor the time they give you and get you out before the next patient comes in the office . Also another great change has been that Dr Michelle vamped up the office . She did such a great job !! She also excepts cc now !!! But I still have to warn parents there are about 10-15 steps going up to her office so do not bring your strollers there is no elevator and there really isn't room for it . read more

LOVE, LOVE Dr. Kolsi. She's so easy to talk to and answers any questions I have. She's not an alarmist but also not dismissive. She listens to any issues you may have and tries to go through scenarios with you or potential solutions that you are comfortable with. I'm able to email her or call after hours and she actually picks up her own after hours line! I've never had any Dr do that. She's a truly wonderful pediatrician and we're so thankful for her. read more

The best pediatrician! We were recommended to Dr Kolsi by my husbands friend, and are so grateful we found her! She has been so attentive, caring, and invested in ensuring our daughter gets the best care. She has always been available when any issue has come up and has been able to take us in right away. She answers all of our questions and is very honest. We feel very comfortable with her and trust that our daughters health (which is the most important thing) is in the best of hands. Anyone looking for a trustworthy pediatrician, look no further she is it! read more

Dr. Kolsi is the best pediatrician, she is very friendly and knowledgeable. She answers all your questions thoroughly making sure you understand and She also makes herself accessible via email. My newborn daughter is in good hands with Dr. Kolsi. read more

Dr. Kolsi has been a regular doctor for our baby and she is exceptionally knowledgable person in her field. The reason for my three star review is her unprofessional and rude staff. Front desk older lady and the nurse; need to learn some basic manners/customer service skills, how to treat customers respectfully and most importantly how to deal with small children/infants. Dr. Kolsi please consider retraining your staff or better yet hire qualified candidates to maintain your professional reputation . I might consider changing our baby's doctor due to unpleasant employees. read more

Dr. Kolsi is AMAZING. She has been our sons Dr. since he was born, now 18 months and she is always there for us. She very available if you need to reach the office or her for same day care she always makes it work. She has a great network of Drs that she can connect you with for needs like dermatology or allergist, etc. We even moved from Glendale to Alhambra and still make the drive because we like her that much! read more

She is such a smart and caring person. We have taken our son to her and will take our newborn daughter too for sure. She is always available and with her experience, you always get a diagnosis on the spot. Love her! Definitely recommend! read more

Unfortunately, I'm having to write this review not because of her service, but because of her billing services. She only accepts PPO and although I have PPO and she's in my network they do not accept your insurance IF the address on the backside of your insurance card does not say CA. Even my insurance company tried to reason with them and they said no. The only way to work with them in my situation is if I'm willing to do the work -- pay cash and submit claims. Their "solution" is not feasible with having two infant babies. It's a shame, I wanted her as the pediatrician for my twins. read more

It's an absolute joy to work with Dr. Kolsi. She is very attentive and knowledgable, and she thinks outside the box about solutions. She is careful about diagnosing an issue and very thorough in general. Clean office and nice staff. Highly recommend. read more

We switched over to Dr. Kolsi's office last year and we couldn't be happier. She came highly referred by family and friends and we were just tired of the long waits at the pervious pediatric office we were going to. Dr. Kolsi is super sweet with the girls, very patient and very knowledgable. There has been practically zero wait time for all our appointments, she always takes her time and answers all our questions during our visits and we never feel rushed. Her staff is very accommodating and we've always been able to get in same day for a sick visit which was something that was lacking with our previous doctor. Dr. Kolsi is also always available via email and she's very quick to respond to her emails. She's always looking for ways to improve her office and be more available to her patients. Her office just recently added a telemedicine option which I'm excited to try soon. You can actually video chat with her on the weekends and after hours if you can't make it to the office. We couldn't be happier with Dr. Kolsi and have referred several of our friends to her. If you're looking for a intimate private practice where you can build a relationship with your pediatrician this place is for you. read more

My daughter used to see Dr. Kolsi when she was in Whittier. I called to schedule an appointment and I was informed she was no longer with that group So I searched the Internet for her and I see she's in Glendale. I'm so sad that's she's so far away from us now because she was such a wonderful doctor for my daughter. She was amazing! Thank you for everything that you did for my daughter Dr Kolsi!! read more

Simply the best. I can't say enough good things about her. She's amazing with my daughters, and me, when the kiddos are sick. She takes her time to explain and listen, I never feel rushed and always get my questions answered. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kolsi to take care of your little one. I feel blessed that she is our kids' pediatrician. Kathy and staff are also wonderful. Every time I call when I'm concerned about something, they ask all the right questions and are super helpful. read more

Dr. Kolsi is a great doctor. She is patient and knowledgeable, answering every question. My daughter likes going to her office and so do I. I'm so happy to have her as my daughter's pediatrician. And the front office staff is very professional. read more

We did a lot of research to find the right pediatrician, after all this person is going to help you raise a healthy child. It's so important to find the right one. We can't say enough about Dr. Kolsi, she is very sharp, pays attention to detail, is profoundly passionate about her work, and most of all we can feel that she genuinely cares deeply about our son's good health. She's smart, patient and accessible. We couldn't be happier with our choice. Our son is five months old and we've had plenty of visits to asses her. We feel at ease knowing that she's there and will be William's primary health care provider. read more

Dr. Kolsi's calm and pleasant demeanor really helped us through the first week of being new parents, I'm sure like many others we had tons of questions and concerns, she was there for all of them and did it with a smile the whole time. Highly recommended. read more

There are literally no words that would be great enough to explain Dr. Kolsi. To say she is caring and Empathetic is an understatement. My kids are notorious Ear infection patients. And all I have to say is "Hi it is Ashley calling for my son/daughter and they get me in right away. I have never had to wait more then a an hour to see her. She also is very to the point, you tell her what is going on and she trusts you as a mother and encourages you even when you were wrong about your mommy diagnosis. She is also very very kind to my kids, they love her and even ask to go to the doctor when we drive by, and yes they are sad when I say no. The staff is amazing, the doctor is Amazing, the office is small and clean. It is just the perfect combination to make your trip to the doctor easy. read more

I was referred to Dr. Kolsi by my previous pediatrician who retired. At first I was skeptical about going to a new doctor since I had been going to him ever since I was born. From the first time I saw her I knew that I wanted her to be my doctor. I am 19 and still going by her, and I plan on doing so as long as I can. The entire staff is so nice and they are always there to answer questions, even over the phone. I feel so comfortable talking to Dr. Kolsi and I trust her so much with my health. She truly is such a kind, knowledgable person and she cares so much about her patients. I highly recommend her to anyone who's looking for a good pediatrician! read more
