"Here are some observations about Dr Dolores which might be helpful especially to the new parents. We live in 5 mins of driving distance with Dr Dolores, which was essentially the reason we selected her to take care of our newborn child. As new parents, you tend to have a lot of questions (especially when it’s your first child and you have no help from elderly household, PS - it’s me and my wife only). You tend to panick with even a smallest and silliest scenario with the child, which might be obvious for elderly or existing parents, but is scariest as the new parents. It took 1 late night and 1 evening phone call to her (1st for child vomiting and 2nd for child’s heavy grunting) to lose all the patience she had for us. The immediate visit after this, every discussion was an argument of why those were not normal office hour calls. Even legitimate questions were discarded and she didn’t take anything seriously after. Her general reply to majority questions are- google before you call. We asked whether we give Vit d or not to the newborn. She said - whatever you prefer. My wife asked about vaccinations schedule and she didn’t care to answer for that question with grudge for late night calls going in her mind all the time. Normally, every answer she had for our newborn was -“ it’s normal” and “you just need to deal with it”. This practice is totally fine if you love a argumentative caretaker for your child, with no empathy and only care about physically visits for making consultations eligible for insurance payments."

"We've been with Dr. Dolores for 18 years. She's been an amazing doctor, funny, patient and caring. We only have two years left! We'll miss her when that time comes."

"My children have seen Dr. Dolores for years but problems have started to occur more and more. After our experience yesterday we will be finding a new pediatrician. The way she spoke to and about my young child was uncalled for; right in front of him. I was stunned by her crass bedside manner as a medical professional who deals with children. My husband and I have both tried to contact the doctor regarding the incident and have yet to hear back from her, however, the front desk was very apologetic and stressed that Dr. Dolores would be returning our calls. Upon entering the room, we weren’t greeted with the normal, “hello, how are you?” but an insult directed at my child. She continued on with no resources, insight, or inquires about my child’s health or behavior and made assumptions. No solutions were given or discussions, just criticism. If there is a concern from a medical professional I would expect to go in depth and try to get down to the bottom of the problem and discuss solutions. Instead, a quick jab and that was it. My child, a 6 year old, left humiliated. Dr. Dolores did not offer an apology and did not even return our calls. I’m disgusted. I am an adult and I have never encountered this type of behavior. I certainly did not expect it towards a child. This review needed to be put out there, but I am also not going to publicly discuss the exact wording that was said to him because he left broken and ashamed. The care has become less and less, with the exception of full discussions about covid and pushing covid vaccines."

"Dr. Dolores has been seeing my daughter since she was born and she's 6 now. We have only been for our yearly check up because we've been blessed and not had any other health concerns, but she's always in such a good mood, smiling all the time. I think she is the only physician in the group."

"Dr. Delores has taken excellent care of my son since birth. After 11 years of services (from colds to stitches and everything in between) I can honestly say that her skills, thoroughness and caring, congenial manner are a combination that can't be found anywhere else. Highly Recommended!"
