Kiwi Pediatrics Medical Group

Robin Winokur at Kiwi Pediatrics has been our child’s pediatrician for the last twelve years. She is simply a WONDERFUL physician. I can tell example after example of ways she has been helpful in treating our daughter. Dr. Winokur will go the second mile time and time again to be of help. I also love her calm, easy going bed side manner with children. She understands kids soooo well, and treats our daughter as though she is really special. We feel incredibly grateful to have had such a dedicated, astute, seasoned doctor. There really arent any better Pediatricians out there than the docs at Kiwi Peds. They are simply the BEST!!! Their whole team excels, including the office staff who are really, really sweet, and again, make a ton of effort.

This office gave my child a vaccine that we specifically asked them not to! We wanted to put our second kid on a delayed schedule — as soon as they heard this, the focus of all of our visits was about preaching vaccines to us, to the detriment of ignoring other issues that we brought up, which eventually became bigger problems since they were ignored. The nurse practitioner was especially obsessed with the vaccines, as if that was her only reason for seeing our newborn. At a routine visit, the pediatrician ‘accidentally’ gave our baby a chicken-​pox vaccine that we specifically requested not be given — i see in the filtered reviews here that this has also happened to someone else. We have also been waiting ONE YEAR to get our kindergardener’s immunization records, despite paying an extra fee for ‘rush’ records and calling multiple times. In addition to being disrespectful, patronizing, and unethical to families, the waiting areas and checkup rooms are not clean. Take your kids somewhere else!

My kids were seen by a variety of doctors in this group since birth. When they turned 7 yrs old I found anothther pedatric office. The front office satff was rude and I belive to have over stepped their boundaries on several occasions with smirky comments. I really was disappointed to have to leave. The office and the sitting area was not clean on several visits. The nurse practioners were competent and kind. The doctors were as well. Enough was enough for me with the yound staff in the front office attempting to answer questions and give advice that was completely out of their scope of practice.

The doctor’s care is solid, but the front desk is seriously the worst ever

Excellent group of doctors you can trust your children with. Compassionate while excellent in their field, I highly recommend them for any one looking for a classic care from a pediatrician.

My daughter is 2 and has been seen at Kiwi on Alcatraz since she was born. Dr. Kittams is a very kind man who seems to have a calming effect on children (certainly on mine). Our doctor was changed suddenly though, without asking, to another doctor at the practice. I am still not sure why. She’s also a good doctor but I began my daughter’s medical life with Dr. Kittams because he was recommended by my OB/​GYN who cared for me my entire pregnancy.
The nurses are always nice and gentle with my little one, though they tend to flee the room quickly after giving shots (not that I blame them).
Also, the office/​waiting room aren’t «dirty» they’re just very kid-​friendly, so don’t look as sterile as other medical/​hospital environments. The examination rooms *are* very small, but they don’t really need any reason to be big, as far as I know.

We are so grateful to Kiwi and their wonderful providers! My daughter has asthma and when she is having a flare-​up, we are always immediately seen by kind, loving, and smart practitioners. My family and I trust each one completely and cannot believe their commitment to their patients (such as calling us in the evening and on weekends to check in when asthma is active).
The front staff ad assistants have always been very friendly and do their jobs well. My daughter loos forward to going, whether it is a well-​child visit or an acute visit.
Lastly, I love the way everyone there from the front office to assistants to providers treat the children with respect and direct questions to them and include them in their own care. Thank you Kiwi!!!

We’ve seen two pediatricians here with our baby who is four months old today. They’ve both been very nice and friendly. The only negative is the examining rooms are very small, almost claustrophobic. But it’s the quality of care that matters!
