we were greeted by Ms. Ruby, who was very polite and gentle.

We had a great experience at Almouie Pediatrics today. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Ms. Ruby, who was very polite and gentle while taking our baby’s vitals and weight. She made the process smooth and comfortable. Ms. Abbas took the time to listen carefully to our concerns about our baby’s worsening eczema and addressed them thoroughly. We really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. Overall, the staff was professional, kind, and reassuring. We felt heard and well cared for during our visit.

Very grateful for the attention excellent doctor attended to my girls.

Very grateful for the attention excellent doctor attended to my girls but the wait should be shorter if they give you a shift for 8:30 that you don't have to wait an hour later to be attended

Amazing office very clean feels like family every time.

Amazing office very clean feels like family every time. My kiddos love this place so much and that is a plus. I totally recommend if you’re looking for a pediatric clinic. I love the Rodd Field office the best, far location but so worth it. To tell the less I drive 45 minutes just to take my kiddos to doctor appointment. Dr. Abbas is the best very knowledgeable and takes her time to listen.

Ruby M.
