Pediatrics | Denise Drago, MD

"My daughter has been in Dr. Dragos care for over a year. We have always been please with her care. We also saw Dr. Mote on a sick visit, and we were happy with the experience. The nurses and front office are always so kind, the wait times are short, and the office is clean. It is also very convenient to have the pharmacy in the same building. I often use the MyChart app in the middle of the night if my daughter is sick to book an appointment for the next day."

"I wish I could give a 0 star rating. We are new to Florida therefor I have been researching new pediatricians in our new community of Estero. I have been in contact with three different receptionists/ booking employees at this office. Maria and Maria MadrigaI. They both were incredibly rude and not at all helpful. Both women informed me that the Estero office and Dr Drago are accepting NEW patients but aren't booking said appointments until October. Its May. I expressed my concerns about the office being ill equipped to handle my sons care in they are in need of seeing their doctor and the Estero office. They both told me that the office is very busy and unless they are newborns I would have to go to a different location. Both employees transferred me to a dead voicemail box when I asked to speak with a office manager to get more clarity. No one ever got back to me. The reviews about Dr. Drago are wonderfu,l however, I would never trust this practice to care for my children. The office staff was very rude and unprofessional. Especially to a new patients and family."

"I am so glad I switched providers. I brought an issue to her attention and she treated me as if i was stupid for even bringing it up. There was clearly something wrong with my daughter, and she labeled it as “reflux”. she than said she should go to speech therapy (she was 2 months at the time?) she didn’t want to take the time to listen to me as a MOTHER and the concern i had for my child. So i did what any mother would when they know something is wrong, i got a second opinion. The second Dr. Distasio (new doctor) walked in, he could hear my daughters breathing and instantly knew something was wrong. she needs to Learn some compassion."

"I cannot believe this doctor only Has 4 stars! She has held my son in her own arms for almost an hour! She’s helped us in so many ways I can’t even start. The only issue I’ve ever had is waiting a longer time and the only reason is because she’s giving all of her patients the time they need. This woman has a heart of gold and has gone above and beyond for my son Khealan and never rushed us out the door once. Thank you so much Dr Drago for all you do."

"Dr. Drago is a fabulous pediatrician. She is very thorough with her exams and interacts very well with my children. She has great bedside manners and takes ample time to educate my kids on age appropriate health promotion topics and answer any questions we have. Our visits never feel rushed. The staff is also amazing, from the front desk to the nurses! Everyone is extremely helpful, professional, and courteous."
