Margate Pediatrics: Aliya Asad, MD, ABIHM

"This is one of the best medical clinics I ever been to, the staff that work there are very polite and respectful."

"dr asad is not familiar with the concept of consent. she's a pediatrician but doesn't respect a patient's rights and doesn't fulfills her responsibility to curate a comforting experience as a pediatrician. shes just rude"

"I would give 0 stars if I could. Beware of this doctor!! They advertise as being holistic but are FAR from it. The doctor shames me every visit because of my refusal to vaccinate my child. My child my decision!! Then at the last visit, when I was clearly distracted and putting my child’s shoes on, she started putting fluoride on my child’s teeth WITHOUT my permission! Didn’t even tell me she was doing it or ask at all. That is SO uncalled for and inappropriate on so many levels. Despite all of that, her “knowledge” is outdated and laughable at the very least. Told me children shouldn’t have baths ever and only use dove body wash. Wow. BEWARE OF THIS INSANE DOCTOR!!!"

"I'd give 0 stars if I could. After reading other's reviews, it all makes sense as to why I had such a difficult time with them. My son had a physical in January 2021 prior to us moving to Tampa. In the Summer of 2021, I requested his records to be sent to me via fax or email to provide to my son's new school. They were persistent in telling me that my son needed to come in for another physical in order to receive that paperwork. Hours later of me basically blowing up their office since they kept forwarding my calls to voicemail, I finally received my son's physical paperwork via email as a "courtesy." Never in my life have I heard receiving my child's medical records as a "courtesy." Disgusting. I would never recommend this place to anyone."

"This place is a joke! I switched my child to this office because they a advertise to be "holistic health" but clearly they are not! My child was sick and after antibiotics and home treatment she continued to have a cough (over 10 days) when we expressed the respiratory concern to the "holistic doctor" her response was "if she doesn't get the flu vaccine she is just going to keep coughing". Now its been another 15 days since our follow up and I called to ask for a referral since the doctor had no recommendation for the cough other then the flu vaccine and the incompetent boy they have answering the phone said he didn't know anything I asked and took my information to call back. He called back and said I would be able to come in the afternoon to retrieve the referral form or he would fax a copy to me. Fast forward to the afternoon and I receive a call from "Nausea" who said I have an appointment that I missed. I explained that I never made an appointment or was given an appointment. My child has no new symptoms and simply needed a referral to have a chest x-ray to address the chronic ongoing cough that the "doctor" refused to do anything about or look into any further once we declined the vaccination. Pretty much they would like me to bring my child to the office to bill the insurance for the 3rd time before they will give me a piece of paper to address the respiratory concerns we expressed in the first 2 visits. Please save yourself the trouble of telling me how many years the "holistic doctor" has been practicing or which family members bring there kids. The bottom line is respiratory concerns/ any concern should be taken serious weather you chose to give your child a flu vaccine or not! I absolutely will NOT be going back or referring anyone with children or expectant mothers."
