Dr. Kozak knew and our annual wellness visit turned into a very special visit where Dr. Kozak spent so much time talking with my daughter about how my daughter is dealing with all this and her social and emotional well being (also difficult in these tween years). I can not tell you how much I appreciated this thoughtful approach to the whole wellbeing of a child's health. It brought tears to my eyes (and also my daughter's eyes) as Dr. Kozak really honed in on some of her big emotions. I can not recommend Dr. Kozak enough if you want a Dr. that doesn't just look at numbers but actually SEES your child for who they are and how best to support them.

Dr. Kozak's knowledge and experience shows in the way she treats her patients, and in the way she communicates with parents. When Dr. Kozak feels that there is an issue that needs to be handled by another provider, she has a vast network of specialists to refer to. We have never been steered in the wrong direction by her, in her advice, care, and recommendations to outside providers. I know that over the last year or two, she's had some changes in her office staff. While I have had very few negative interactions with her and her staff, we've always been able to get appointments, refills and referrals in a timely manner. If you are lucky enough to be able to have her see your child, take that chance!

First visit went amazing!

As in any doctor's office, there is sometimes a 20-30 minute wait, but seeing her is worth it. I'd say that 4 times out of 5, she's been able to take us for a same-day appointment. She is gentle and takes her time with each child. Dr. Amina is knowledgable with homeopathic medicine as well as Western medicine, and I appreciate that she tries natural remedies first before going the route of medication or antibiotics (which has worked each time!). She's also considerate of how many factors can affect my child when she's sick. For instance, she guessed that my daughter may have asthma when I brought her in for a lingering post-cold cough (her father has asthma, which I hadn't mentioned!). Her staff is friendly, and my girls love the colorful play waiting room, kid-appropriate TV programs playing in the background, child-friendly bathroom, and the cute themed exam rooms. The girls leave with Disney stickers (makes them smile!). And there hasn't been any tears yet. So thankful that such an accessible, caring and skilled pediatrician is only 12 minutes from our home!

I'm very sad that I can only give it five stars here at most, because I think Dr.Lee deserves a…read moreten-star rating. Even more and perfect. Let me just say this firstly: I guarantee with my own integrity that you will not find a better doctor in this area! Without comparison to other doctors, you might never know how good he is. My daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor because of my mother's language barrier, but my son has been seeing Dr. Lee all the time! I'd always had a very good impression of him with my son because he always came to see us very quickly whenever I went to his clinic. First, the waiting time was very short, and second, he was incredibly patient. He answered all my questions very seriously and wasn't in a hurry to leave. I often asked really silly questions, but he always answered them patiently! Believe me, if it were any other doctor, they would have left long ago! Everyone's time is precious. If you can find a doctor like Dr. Lee who is willing to explain any details to you, you must cherish that. His professionalism and knowledge are beyond question. He always manages to pinpoint the problem accurately. Just a very simple example: When my son had a stomachache, I took him to other doctors, and they recommended an X-ray. But Dr. Lee told me that many children have stomach aches due to constipation. I later discovered that every time he complained of stomach pain, he would ask to go to the toilet. Of course, there are many other examples like Dr. Lee,who is exceptionally gentle and attentive when administering vaccines. Compared to other doctors who can even apply bandages crookedly. He never over-treats, and he never creates anxiety for you. No other doctor can compare to him in this respect! As I mentioned, my daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor, but recently she caught the flu. Yesterday, Friday, I called her doctor, who very indifferently and barely answered some questions. Today, my daughter has a fever, and because it's the weekend, I couldn't contact them at all to offer any help. I had no choice but to leave a message to Dr. Lee. I really didn't expect him to reply to both of my messages, the second one even at almost 10 pm without any paid! This isn't even within his job description. He could have easily refused to help me. But because of his kindness and his genuine concern for children's , he chose to help. He told me because my son is his patient so he likes to help our family. Of course, I need to immediately transfer my daughter to Dr. Lee's .There's no need to see any other doctor, even if it means communicating in English. I remember asking Dr. Lee before, "Why don't you accept insurance premiums?" Because he doesn't, many people would seek out doctors who do. He told me he didn't want to spend time arguing with insurance companies; he wanted to spend his time seeing and taking care of patients, that's exactly what he did. I'm glad he did that because if he took insurance, his clinic would probably be the busiest in the area. He only charges 100 for a consultation, unlike many places where it's 300. This proves that he genuinely wants what's the best for the children and helping children, not just making money. I realized long ago that my child was more important than $100. I preferred not to go through insurance because when you encounter crucial problems, you realize it was absolutely worth it.

Probably THE BEST pediatrician I have ever had for my child.

Unfortunately, what they lack ends up a longer list. The first MA was unable to get a vial of blood and said someone else would try on my other arm with a straight needed (vs butterfly). She left me without even putting a bandaid on the arm she poked and I had to struggle to put the bandaid on one handed while still maintaining pressure on it. Next MA comes and draws blood and when she's done she yelps I don't have a cotton ball (to put on the vein she just drew out of) and my blood is just pooling while she puts a bandaid on. Luckily I'm well versed enough to know I needed to put pressure on my bandaid. The NP who saw me was new to (per the MA) she really didn't put my mind at ease. Her expertise and knowledge seemed lacking based on the answers to my questions. First thing she asked me was, why are you here and not the ER? I told her my PCP sent me here because she didn't feel it necessitated a ER visit. She wanted me to be evaluated by YOU to assess and in your medical opinion, do I need to be seen further or what course of action next? She swabbed me for flu and covid and I verbally questioned her because I had isolated severe GI symptoms. She said sometimes those present wither GI only. Does it? I don't know, I'm not an MD but I'm also someone who works in healthcare and it didn't feel like the proper procedure. When I asked if she would be ordering any stool samples, I heard through my closed door "do we do that?". Ok, she's new, I'll give her that...but she comes back in and says "if you'd like to have the order for stool testing I'm happy to give that to you." Am I the md or am I the patient? I came here for your professional medical opinion! Do I?! So after I kindly communicated that I am looking to her for her opinion as the expert whether or not my symptoms necessitate an order, she still doesn't quite give me a direct answer! I haven't been to that many urgent cares, but I've come to see a trend that many of the urgent cares that are owned by a company with multiple locations don't have MD's on staff physically there. That said, I've also noticed the trend that many provide sub-par care.

I came in specifically because I was feeling unwell and suspected a blood sugar issue--especially since lab work from a different clinic the prior week showed a fasting glucose level high enough to indicate diabetes. Despite explaining this, the Physician Assistant (PA) dismissed my concerns, told me I "didn't fit the profile" for diabetes, and ordered a thyroid panel instead. Three days later, the support staff called to tell me they lost my blood sample and needed me to come back in. When I expressed frustration that they lost my sample for a test I didn't even ask for--while still refusing to run the metabolic panel I actually needed--the staff member literally hung up on me. I only returned the next day because it is within walking distance of my house and I was having the same feeling again, wanting to get to the bottom of what was happening. While the PA on duty that day was attentive, she ended up sending me to the ER for my blood pressure. After waiting four hours at the hospital, the ER doctor confirmed it wasn't an emergency at all. To top it all off, I received another call from the urgent care informing me that they did eventually run a metabolic panel, and my A1C and fasting glucose levels are, in fact, indicative of diabetes. Between the PA completely dismissing a patient's concerns, the staff losing blood samples, and being hung up on, the lack of professionalism and competence here is alarming. Go somewhere else.

Dr. Sarmiento is amazing! My two daughters have been patients for over 10 years, and I can confidently say there is no one else I would trust with my children's care. Dr. Sarmiento is not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also one of the kindest and most personable doctors you'll ever meet. She actually spends time with my kids when they have a check up usually around 30-40 minutes. I don't know of any other doctor that takes this much time with patients. She explains to my kids how important eating fruits and veggies are and they really listen and ask me for them throughout the day. I also have a daughter with Asthma and allergies and she has been nothing but compassionate, understanding and helpful. She has been treating her asthma since she was 5 years old. She offers lots of alternative medicine recommendations that work. She has let me vaccinate my kids on my schedule and never been pushy. Her office staff/front office Patty is always friendly and great with my kids. She always goes above and beyond whenever we call in the office and have questions. Do plan on a 90 minute visit because Dr. Sarmiento spends her time with you and your kids. She is also available through text if you need anything off hours.

The doctor first explained the plan for the appointment and made sure to ask if I had any concerns. She took the time to listen, answer my questions, and did a very thorough routine check-up. She also created a customized plan tailored to any concerns I had. I couldn't be happier with the care we received.

Very good doctor. Recommend very much. Staff is very polite and considerate. Take extra care of…read moretheir patients. didn't have to wait so long.

This week my 6 yr old son with ASD had his first visit with his new pediatrician Dr Khamly and I am…read moreso happy with everything but a little sad I didn't change him to this doctor sooner. This doctor is very thorough, he takes his time. I did not feel rushed and all my questions and concerns were not only answered but listened to carefully and addressed to the last detail. This doctors staff is also very kind and friendly, super helpful and they always answer the phone(my last pediatrician almost never answered) My son has some sensory issues and is shy but he had no tantrums or hesitation in dealing with the staff or doctor because he felt at ease and that in itself is worth a million dollars to me. I am a very VERY picky mom, I want the best of the best for my son, and I was very impressed with this Doctor and his staff, I totally recommend them.
