Aasha Pediatrics

My son has been going here since he was one month old. He is now 4 and will turn 5 in April and I have no plans to switch PCP’s. Iv’e always liked this clinic and the Dr’s.
Initially, we just went to get my son circumcised back when he was born in 2011, which was $ 200 out of pocket, which was fine. Dr Sathappan did a great job and she is very heartwarming every time and remembered my son after seeing her for a follow-​up, which I love. I mean, what parent doesn’t love a caring Dr who remembers your child’s name?! She mentioned that they were accepting new patients and I was thrilled. We only went for a circumcision and I was so happy with the experience and vibe there that I didn’t mind switching. Dr Pilla and Dr Srey are great as well. Very caring.
The staff is different from when we first started going here. They are nice. Exam rooms are always clean. They don’t have trash cans in the exam rooms anymore and I can understand why– I’m sure people throw out dirty diapers, and that can make the room smell.

Have been at this practice since my son was 3 and daughter was 6 months old. Dr. Sathappan has provided excellent care. She is very caring and knowledgeable. Many times when my kids are sick on a Friday, she calls up to check to see how they are doing on the weekend. Highly recommend!

We had to wait for some time as it was our first appointment and had to do paperwork, but Dr. Sathappan was kind enough to notice that and regret. She is very helpful in noting down baby’s stats and giving explanation on each of it with medical standards. We felt very comfortable with Dr. in first appointment itself as we had to transfer from India to USA with difference in procedures /​immunization schedules etc.
Dr, offered to take calls any time if we are in need, which I am not aware if any other doctors offer.
Will wait and see, if we’ll be happy forever here :)

On ⁵⁄₁₁ Sun our 10yr daughter bumped her head while playing and was exhibiting concussion like symptoms. She didn’t pass out but complained about nausea and persistent headache.
My wife decided to just to drop by the office. she did not have appt and told the front office person that she was willing to wait to be seen by Dr. Pillai in between appt. The office was empty but the Dr still refused to have us wait. Dr. Pillai asked my wife to come back tomorrow or go to ER.
All we wanted to know was ‘should we seek MRI or XRay’. this was a 10min conversation at most and my wife was willing to wait an hour or more — just to put her mind to ease. If we felt it was serious enough for an ER visit we would have taken her there the day before.
Clearly, this place does not care about their patients.
Needless to say, this was the last visit to this manufactured caretaker.

Reliable, takes same day appointments, professional — I have nothing bad to say about this place. I like them.

I got my daughter’s ears pierced when she was 2 months old back in 2011. The office is clean and inviting and the exam rooms are cutely decorated. For $ 60, the piercing are done with a gun and with 24k gold studs. There were plenty of options on stones to choose from. It’s very similar to what they would have at a Claires but I felt more comfortable having a doctor do this instead of a 16 year old. Initially during check in, a nurse/​tech came in and had me pick out the earrings. I was worried that it would not be a doctor performing the piercing but then a doctor came in after. She looked at my ears and asked if I was happy with my ear piercing. I told her yes and she said that my holes are actually not centered and they were on the lower side and if I wanted my daughter’s to be similar it would not be centered. I told her I’d prefer hers to be centered. She went forward with cleaning my daughter’s ears with alcohol and she put a numbing cream on them. The she started marking them and said this was the most important part so we have to get it right. My daughter already started crying at this time but she was a colicky baby so I was not surprised. I had her make one adjustment on one of the ears and then trusted her to proceed. She had a nurse come in to assist and quickly pierced my daughters ears while she continued to be fussy. When she finished she said I can take my time since I was going to breast feed my daughter to soothe her. They sent me home with aftercare instructions and a number to call them if there were any infections. I have had no problems till this day and I have kept the same earrings in her ears. I was very happy with the piercing but my only regret was the location of the holes. I do wish I didn’t choose to have them centered but it be more like mine and a little lower but that was my fault and not the doctor’s. The important thing is the holes are symmetrical.

Staff were friendly and welcoming.
The pediatrician gave me off vibes. at times detailed and attentive but I felt rushed too.
Office appears to be extremely clean.
The restroom was extremely clean.
I do find it weird that there were no trash can in the examination room. I mean, this is a pediatrician’s office, no? Wait. There is one trash can however, it is not intended for diapers.
Lots of rules and policies imposed for financial gain.
Call and find out the disclaimers.
