"I will start by saying that I had zero faith in most doctors out here. When I was pregnant with my first daughter, I couldn’t even get an appointment to be seen until I was 5 months along and that first appointment was when my first daughter was diagnosed with CDH and passed a month and a half after birth. My second daughter was thankfully born healthy. Dr. Perez was the attending doctor in the hospital that day. After a brief conversation with her , my husband and I immediately felt that we wanted her as our daughter’s doctor. Since then, Dr. Perez has been an amazing pediatrician to our daughter. Our daughter is on the smaller end and was slowly gaining weight. Dr. Perez was concerned and sent us for further testing to rule anything out. She has always been 100% professional, friendly, and to the point. We are so thankful that Dr. Perez was in the hospital the day our daughter was born and it gives my husband and I comfort that she has been hands on since the day our daughter arrived. After the loss we experienced in the past, we never felt that we could honestly trust or feel comfortable with any doctor that cared for our child. Dr. Perez changed that for us. This would needs more doctors like Dr. Perez."

"Unfortunately, my experience with this doctor was very negative and I would never recommend her to anyone. Let me start by saying that we arrived on time for our appointment and were finally called into the nurse's office about half an hour later. Maybe it's a strange coincidence, but in the meantime three other patients who showed up after our scheduled appointment were served. I can't say a bad word about the nurse, she behaved appropriately, explaining all the procedures performed at our request. The stay in her office took maybe 2 minutes, after which we were ordered to go to the doctor's office. We also waited over 20 minutes there. When the doctor finally showed up, she was friendly and was discussing with us that she is also from another country. As soon as we indicated that our daughter only needed to receive one vaccine set that day, she was very negative to us going forward. We tried to present a vaccination calendar in accordance with one of the European countries from which I come and where my child's first vaccinations were carried out, which was slightly different from the one recommended in the USA (including, but not limited to, dates of subsequent doses of vaccines and different manufacturers). We explained to the doctor that the next doses of the remaining vaccinations will be given at a different time in my country of origin, because the vaccines used there are slightly different from those used in the United States, for example in the number of doses administered. We also said that we are only interested in the vaccine recommended here between 12 and 15 months and in my country between 13 and 14 months (our child is 14 months old). I had previously reviewed this decision with my attending physician, who recommended that, if possible, the vaccination be applied with the same drug (manufacturer) in order to avoid possible complications. The doctor conducting the visit called us anti-vaccine (which didn't make any sense as we had just come to her office that day for vaccination) and told us to find another pediatrician because she is pro-vaccination (which didn't matter because we would never come back here for how we were treated). From the moment we refused the additional vaccines she suggested, she treated us very unkindly. To my husband, who was trying to calm our infant during the examination, who was terrified from crying after the nurse had drawn blood, the doctor said that there is no need to make an effort, the baby will cry anyway. I have never been treated like this by a doctor before. I understand that she could have a different opinion and could discuss it with us politely, but such an assessment and rude approach were out of place. We had with us a translated vaccination calendar from my country and one from the CDC in the US to show which vaccinations our child had already received (that we are up to date, only some vaccination dates differ by several months in the USA and Europe) for which the doctor did not even want to look. It's scary that a pediatrician - a doctor for children is such an unempathetic, unprofessional woman who puts pride and some incomprehensible insult above the child's health. Because I don't think that vaccination at shorter intervals than recommended in the previous country where the vaccination started and with other vaccines than the child received previously is 100% safe. Vaccination calendars were created for a reason to avoid complications, depending on the drug used and the date of the first and last vaccination. To sum up briefly, with all my heart, I do not recommend this pediatrician! It's just a waste of time, frustration, and stress for your child."
