  1. (Translated by Google) They are the best. Dr. Otero is the one who cares for my daughter and I have never had any problems. They are well organized and clean. Since my daughter was born I have taken her here and I hope to bring her until …

  2. Fast services, amazing staff that makes you feel like your friends for life… Helped my boys when other doctors didn’t pay much attention to the details… Thanks for the amazing service and great doctors that stay until the last words needed to be said

  3. My husband has been calling everyday leaving messages for our sons medication refill as directed it’s been a week and still the Dr office has not called us back or refilled his medication.

  4. We love this office been going there for 6 years now and have all 4 of my kids with then since they was born I can say they always got me in the same day when my little ones was sick or they would take my call when the office was close with whatever concern I had and they have friendly Staff 😊 …

  5. My daughter is LEGALLY EXEMPT from vaccines for religious , and ALLERGY reasons and this office refused us because of that . I’m sorry my daughters allergies not allowing her to be vaccinated is a problem for you !

  6. Dr.Barton is the best doctor there so I suggest her for any new moms seeking a pediatrician for they’re little one, how ever while dr.Barton was gone from the office for a while my son had to see two other doctors & they did not care about …

  7. Wonderful practice full of loving doctors and nurses! We have been going here for 5 years and have always had a great experience with all of the practitioners we have seen.

  8. Thank you as always, even though my daughter is 18 years old you guys still are taking care of her! That’s why I been part of A+ Pediatrics family for 13 years. Once again Thanks.

  9. I have been bringing my kids here since 2013 and absolutely love the whole staff. They are always able to get my kids in and available all hours if I have an urgent need or concern.

  10. My daughter salt nurse practitioner Rebecca Zakhery she came in with pain on her right side and our concern was appendicitis up on examination she could not pinpoint exactly what the problem was as she was showing some signs of appendicitis …

  11. I have been taking both of my kids here for past 8 yrs since I moved to area. They are very professional and helpful and friendly. Have never had a problem with the staff or MD’s here. Very knowledgeable! Thank you

  12. Was a great place in the beginning but lately they have been messing up. For example the receptionist told me to bring in my kid for 930am when they put her appointment down for 11am. The front desk isn’t always the nicest either. Looking for a different place.

  13. My daughter loves Dr. Barton. When she does have to go to the doctors, whether it be a check up or she’s not feeling well she’s excited to get to see Dr. Barton.

  14. Funny the young man that thinks they are great and that the staff is very smart happens to work there. These reviews are by the staff. Thats bad
    Been there twice this office is run by an egotistical biblical crazy person. …

  15. This is a wonderful pediatric office. The staff and doctors are caring and professional. All three of my littles are seen here, two of them since birth. I would recommend to anyone looking for a great pediatrician!

  16. The doctors, nurses and staff are amazing and always so helpful. Dr. Barton is the best! I’m so glad we choose her to be our children’s pediatrician.

  17. Called to schedule a new patient appointment, the lady who answered the call around 6pm on a Tuesday was rude, she mentioned how they didn’t have any openings for new patients and that’s all she said and I’m like umm okay ?? .. I think the …

  18. They consistently do not provide good service. The “practice manager” is unprofessional. I left this review and he calls my wife out in the office. I would steer clear of this place. Changed rating from 2 down to 1.

  19. My 2 1/2 year old has been going to see Dr. Otero since he was born. We love her and the staff! Dr. Otero is great with kids and new moms and actually listens and we never feel rushed with her! We have missed Dr. Otero since we have moved to the Tampa area and have to find a new Dr. 🙁

  20. Why do i have to see a nurse practitioner, when they suppose to have doctors. And they said it is the same. How this possible doctors taken more time studying. So if it is the same they have to call same, no nurse. If a doctor make mistakes what do you think a nurse?.

  21. Dr Valentín is a very professional and caring human being , in my last visit to the clinic I was very concerned about my child’s condition and she was listening to everything I had to say, she made me feel that we were important to her and not just a #. After my visit I felt relieved and very hopeful.

  22. My daughter has been seeing Dr. Otero since she were 4 years old. It’s been great! Dr. Otero is very loving and caring with my daughter I can call her anytime for emergencies. Dr. Otero is very professional and I trust her with my daughter.

  23. Can you say GHETTO? The office Manager Denise should not be managing. Rude telling me to not be loud I’m hard of hearing. And was just ghetto. I asked her to give me a letter stating that it’s their practice to only accept children who are …

  24. I wouldn’t trust my kids with anyone but Dr. Otero and her amazing team! Dr. Otero is so caring and takes her time with each patient and so does her team. You definitely feel like family.

  25. Edit: We ran into an issue the other day but once we spoke with management they handled the situation exactly the way we would have hoped. We feel like our children matter there. The doctors there are great, and we are glad to be able to continue bringing our kids there.

  26. Dr. Otero is the best and very knowledgeable! I’ve been taking my son since birth and so far I have no complaints. I’m so grateful for what you do! She will guide and answer any questions you have. Thank you Dr. Otero

  27. love a+ pediatrics been coming to this office for 3 yrs with both my kids… the kids absolutely love mrs. Kimberly and Ms Cindy (we love the whole staff) just get to spend more time with these 2 we have just recently started seeing rachel …

  28. I have been taking my kids to A+ for over 8 years. I have moved along with them from their original office. Dr. Valentin is amazing and is trustworthy with my childrens health concerns. Maritza in the front office provides outstanding …

  29. If I could give a lower star I would. I have been taking my kids here for two years. The first year we saw Dr Valentine. She was a good doctor but we felt Dr Barton was more friendly. Had I known she was not able to retain her education and …

  30. Professional and friendly service!! We love Dr. Barton!! She never forget her patients! A+ Pediatrics always provide our kids with the best pediatric care! We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

  31. This doctors office is one of the best that I have ever been to. I have 23 grandchildren and have been to a lot of doctors offices but this one is definitely the best. Dr. Tonia Barton is the BEST Doctor I have ever met. There is no doctor that could compare.

  32. It is a busy office. That said they are very organized, take care of your needs efficiently and quickly. They think to ask that “extra question” that saves you time…. Do you need any forms filled out, do you need a school absence note, do …

  33. Cute building and welcoming staff. They aren’t very flexible with their vaccination schedules and give some questionable parenting suggestions. Overall an “acceptable” doctors office but be prepared to educate yourself as a parent and take their advise with a grain of salt if need be.

  34. BE careful going there if your child got ADHD. After my son started taking the medication we noticed a change in his behavior. We called to lower his dosage or stop the medication. To make the story short, they called the police on my 11 …

  35. Friendly staff and flexible hours (in which we have always been able to be seen for a sick visit the same day). No answering service! You get to speak directly to a doctor after hours. Dr. Otero is a blessing! She has superb bed side manner, listens, and genuinely cares.

  36. Staff is always kind and accommodating. I have been going here with my daughters age 6 and 4 since birth and I love it here. They will always do what they can when we need in urgently- and the communication is great.

  37. The Doctors here are great, I trust most of them and they are also a clinic that sides with research-based evidence.. They do not allow unvaccinated children in their clinic. There’s a good reason for it as well. The only reason I am giving …

  38. I have been taking my 3 kids for the past 2 years. I love how kid friendly it is. The staff is very corteous. The kids love the office decorations. And the doctors always answer the calls or call you back when it is after hours. Even at night. We love their attention to our kids and their follow up calls too.

  39. I love A+Pediatrics. I switched my children over to this pediatrics about 3 months ago and I have been completely satisfied. The staff, doctors, and nurses are really courteous, helpful, knowledgeable, and are available when you need them. …

  40. My experiences at A Plus Pediatrics have always been positive. Dr. Otero is always professional, positive, and friendly. When our second child was born, Dr. Valentin spent so much time with me I was shocked. She literally sat with me for …

  41. My brother and sister-in-law recommend this location as both their children have been patients for years. I have a 3 month old who just got sick for the first time. We were seen immediately and couldn’t be happier with the service provided …

  42. I was blown away at how kind, professional and clean this place was! The first nurse who saw us kept our kids entertained while she did all of her checkups and made the visit fun for my kids. Dr. Toni was super, I’m so happy my kids get to go here.

  43. I love a+ pediatrics, the staff, the atmosphere, and just the overall feel of the place . It very clean and the nurses are very lovely. Dr. Barton is amazing, my cousin is pregnant with twins and I would recommend this place to her. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 …

  44. Dr. Otero and her team are always available to assist with our questions and concerns. They are incredibly patient and take time to make sure our daughter feels safe and at ease during her appointments.

  45. We have 3 very special kids (12 year old) and Dr. Otero has been our Pediatrician since they were 5 years old. She is an excellent doctor and the nursing staff is extremely resourcesful. I love this practice because they truly care about our kids. Highly recommended.

  46. Best pediatric practice I’ve ever taken my daughter to. All of the doctors, nurses, and support staff are phenomenal. I’ve had to call a few times for last minute appointments or same day appointments and they’ve always accommodated us.

  47. I have been going to Aplus for about six months because I have a premature child that requires attention to detail doctor. Dr. Barton does exactly that from the moment I met her. She took the initiative to find about all the past medical …

  48. This pediatrician was recommended to me by two different people while I was pregnant, but unfortunately a series of bad experiences have brought me to switch pediatricians. I made an appointment to meet with the pediatrician when I was …

  49. Great staff, very professional from the reception desk to the medical assistants in the back. Dr Barton is an excellent doctor, very patient and understanding, always taking the time to answer all the questionsor concerns. Flexible hours. Very happy we were recommended this practice.

  50. I called with a question for the nurse and received a call back less than 30 min later. After speaking to the nurse I decided I wanted to bring my child in for an urgent care ASAP. They accommodated us for an appointment an hour later. I …

  51. I am extremely grateful for my Autistic child to be cared by staff and the Physicians here, especially Dr. Barton. I’ve recommended all my family members here, we are so blessed to have the best care for our children.

  52. The doctors and staff are amazing! They always respond to calls quickly and get us in when our children our sick. They really care about the patients and make them feel comfortable. Highly recommended!

  53. The first appointment I had, I waited a full hour with a crying baby for them to come see me. They apologized, but when I attempted to retrieve my child’s records, they told me the didn’t have them, which is contrary to what I was told the …

  54. Dr Barton is awesome! She was very professional, kind and made my children feel comfortable. She took the time to spend with our family answering all questions and concerns. The office was very clean and organized.

  55. I switched to A plus after a bad experience with my first pediatrician. They are wonderful. The drs are always on call on the urgent line and Dr. Barton is great. Her nurse Samantha is so good with my baby and always friendly. I highly recommend them.

  56. If I could give this office zero stars I would. We just currently moved down here from WI and we loved the doctor my son saw. We just left A+ Pediatrics and it was the worst experience in my life in a doctors office. The nurse or the doctor …

  57. I love A+ Pediatrics and I love there staff. My son whom is 20 months has been a patient there and I have not endured one problem. Also, they offer an emergency hotline for over the weekend. You can call and talk to a doctor that works in …

  63. Both my kids love A plus pediatrics. They’re amazing always fast and never disappointed. They are always very nice and make you feel very comfortable from beginning to end. I always recommend them. I’ve had nothing but good experiences.

  64. I think it’s very disappointing that every time I have my daughters sick and call in for a sick walk in, it’s always “there’s nothing available”. They truly don’t even care the circumstance. I have to constantly take my daughters to either …

  65. I have transferred to another practice due to the office refusing to see my son, who had a UTI, due to not having any open availability. I was given no suggestion or other options for my son. Luckily, another practice was able to fit him …

  66. If I could give them 0 I would. My daughter started going there as a NB. Do to her being a premie we were having trouble latching, so I was pumping. The dr proceeded to tell me that breastmilk does not have everything that baby needs and …

  67. Absolutely horrible! Called to get my son an appt. when he wasn’t feeling well. I told them his symptoms and thought he was developing a sinus or ear infection (no known fever at the time). Got an appt. for late morning. After I made the …

  68. I have been going to A Plus since my son was born almost 10 months ago. I have never waited more than 20 minutes (and that’s good from my experience &being a new mommy always running right on time-or maybe a few minutes late…) Dr. Otero …

  89. Absolutely the worse office ever. My son is sick every month and they have no idea what is wrong with him (fevers of 104 and one time 105.7). They say I have to wait for his well visit to get blood work done. Well today I had an appointment …

  104. Something very strange keeps happening with billing. We always owe some amount even after paying the copays during the visits. Every visit we ensure nothing else is owed, but when we return for a new visit, we are told there is a balance on …

  105. BEWARE!!!When I started using A+ Pediatrics I was so happy. We had seen Dr Barton who was AMAZING!!!! A few weeks before she left things went down hill. I tried seeing some of the other Drs and they weren’t the same. There were days that …
