Selecting a Pediatrician
Renee and Elliott Select Dr. Juan Reyes of Pediatric Associates in Pembroke Pines, Florida.
We are proud to select Dr. Juan Reyes to be Ariana’s pediatrician. Renee and I first met Juan through our involvement in Toastmasters. Neither of us knew what he did for a living at first. All we saw was a personable and friendly individual with a great sense of humor. Upon learning of his profession (and finding his office on our healthcare plan’s roster), the choice was obvious.
Dr. Reyes is one of the many qualified doctors at Pediatric Associates in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Everything you read about choosing a pediatrician tells you to get a referral from a trustworthy source, interview several doctors, etc. Dr. Reyes is within our network of friends, family, and colleagues. This gave us the confidence to consider him to the exclusion of other candidates. As a matter of fact, we didn’t elect him until it was time to make the obligatory visit at 2 weeks.
Fortunately, this “ready, fire, aim” approach turned out fine. A decision like this should not be taken lightly. Hopefully, this is a relationship that will last until your child reaches adulthood. Here is a brief rundown of our experience so far:
- A courteous and friendly staff
- A separate waiting area for sick children
- Every part of the office we could see was clean and well-maintained
- It’s a busy office, but not chaotic and disorganized
- They have extended hours for sick visits or emergencies, 7 days a week
- You can make appointments online!
As parents, we feel at ease with Dr. Reyes and the level of care he provides. At every visit, he takes the time to answer our questions thoroughly without overwhelming us. He did a great job of addressing our concerns about vaccination. Ariana’s healthcare is in good hands.
