Dr. Joel R. De La Merced, MD

"Dr. Was my pediatrician as a minor and has been my children’s. He is compassionate, understanding, and always ready to take on anything. He is a wealth of knowledge and his daughter is so amazing with my kids we love that family so much!"

"This doctor does not listen and seem to just respond accordingly to text books. When i called him about a serious potential issue my son had he simply dismissed it as something else and just made the referral that i suggested which took months. We ended up taking my son to the ER and he did have what we suspected which is considered an emergency. I’m glad i did not listen to this doctor. Further more almost ask the referral’si make take months. I understand i have HMO but why are some referrals made In a city an hour away from me?!"

"Dr. Joel R. Del La Merced, MD review rating was 4.4, it must be an excellent and Carrying Pediatrics Doctor right ? I WAS WRONG, called doctor office to scheduled a "FLU SHOT VIST ONLY" the office told us it will not be available for two weeks, because We're :NEW PATIENT" must go through a physical before can give a FLU SHOT. I said this make "NO SENSE', In addition I was told by office receptionist, you can always go to "CVS' get a FLU SHOT, they do not need physical check. We can't even get a Flu Shot from our own Doctor? How simple is this ? What type of Pediatrics Doctor is Mr. De La Merced Patrice in his office? This is the Caring of their new Patient, I would not TRUST my Children with his care. Would you "TRUST" this or "ANY" Pediatric Doctor telling You, it would be quicker for your kids to get a Flu Shot at your local CVS ? Where is the Caring and Compassion of this Doctor ?"

"We love Dr. De La Merced and his team! They are warm, compassionate and very thorough. They take the time to both listen and educate children and parents. I know my daughter’s health is in the greatest of hands. Thank you for serving and enriching our community with your compassionate care."

"Excellent doctor! He is very dedicated to each child. He always is very polite and answers all my questions with a lot of patience. His daughter Michelle is also an excellent doctor and all his staff are very nice."
