Maria Gaviria Tobon, MD, FAAP

"Our son saw Dr. Tobon over a week ago and diagnosed him with RSV and sent him to the hospital where he needed oxygen for 5 days . She was patient , kind ,compassionate and thorough. I broke down during the appointment because of seeing our newborn so sick and she hugged me and was so considerate throughout the whole process. While in the hospital , she called us several times to check in on him to see how he was doing which my husband and I were so appreciative of . She's incredibly experienced and knowledgeable and never rushes through appointments like other doctors we have seen in the past. Hands down, the best pediatrician at pediatric associates St Lucie West. We wouldn't see anyone else . Thank you Dr. Tobon !"

"Everything about the visit was great however I was given a referral for a PT and the number wasn’t a working number when I called to get a new referral the person was no help at all and simply said they couldn’t give me any other PT to call"

"Absolutely loved our doc! She’s wonderful, very pleasant every visit . Thank you for your care"

"Dr. Gaviria-Tobon is wonderful! She is attentive, takes time to know her patients, and is friendly and personable while delivering excellent care. She stands out in this practice as someone who carefully listens to a patient’s concerns and has helpful suggestions and follow-up to properly diagnose and treat her patients. Dr. Gaviria -Tobon has never made me or my children feel rushed or ignored. She also follows up on lab results and calls to personally review them. Her skill and obvious love for her patients helped us to get appropriate follow-up to diagnose a condition that was missed for years."

"Trainees/interns were asking me questions about my son. She led me to believe he wasn’t developing at a normal rate, then asked me if I thought he was autistic. She said it was a question she had to ask. I said “why? Do you think he is?” How am I supposed to know if he might be? I don’t know any signs of it in a one year old. I felt very uncomfortable."
