I’m so happy we switched to this location!

I’ve loved all the doctors but today my baby was not doing good and Dr. Cady Rodney and everyone else that worked with us took extra special care of him, care I did not receive even half of in the emergency room the other day, they just wanted us to leave. I’m so happy we switched to this location!

The office is always clean.

Terry Kober is great with my son every time we visit. I'm a helicopter mom and I worry too much. He never makes me feel crazy or like I've wasted his time. Office staff were quick and very helpful. The office is always clean and staff is consistent. This leads me to believe that it's a great place to work as well.

Macie r.

I’m so pleased with our experiences we’ve had with them.

Just came in for our first appointment with our newborn, we also called to have one of my other four kids checked out at the same time and I’m so pleased with our experiences we’ve had with them. I always feel free to ask questions without judgment and said questions are met with genuine knowledge.

offered comfort, empathy, and time.

**URGENT: This message needs to reach Dr. Francesca Sabía’s supervisors.** Let me start by saying—I never write reviews. I usually find them to be a waste of time. But this one… this one is different. There is absolutely a legitimate reason I am writing this, and I hope whoever reads it truly takes the time to understand how exceptional Dr. Francesca Sabía is. Not just as a doctor—but as a person. To me, Dr. Sabía is more than just a physician. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to call a doctor a friend, but she feels like family. She has gone above and beyond for my children in ways that no one else ever has. I have three kids, and every single one of them has been treated by her. Each time, she not only addressed their issues—she solved them. Completely. And I need her leadership team to understand what a rare gem they have in her. --- **ERIC – Age 5** My oldest son struggled with severe food aversions for three years. I was desperate and on the verge of tears when I brought him in to see Dr. Sabía. He wasn’t eating properly, and I feared for his nutrition. She recommended vitamins, gave me a specific feeding schedule, and clearly outlined what foods to avoid and what to introduce. Honestly, I thought, “Here we go again—just another doctor, another plan, no real results.” But I was wrong. On **day four** of following her guidance, my son tried a new food for the **first time in three years**. It wasn’t one of his “safe foods”—and my jaw literally dropped. That may sound small to someone else, but for us, it was a breakthrough we never thought we’d see. --- **LEO – Age 2** My second son had suffered from **severe eczema** for two years. Nonstop itching, no sleep, constant crying—our nights were filled with desperation. Again, I turned to Dr. Sabía. She recommended a gluten-free diet and made me feel heard, understood, and supported. She didn’t rush our appointment. She sat with me patiently, validating every concern I had. We are now three weeks into the new diet, and for the first time in two years, my son is **sleeping through the night**. His skin has cleared—**no more flare-ups, no more angry red patches**. He is healing, and I can finally breathe again. I cannot express how grateful I am to her. --- **RUBI – Age 4 months (at the time, 2 weeks old)** When Rubi was just two weeks old, she began **crying nonstop**. Around the same time, a stubborn stye developed on her eyelid, eventually swelling her eye shut. I was overwhelmed, scared, and in tears when I called the clinic. Dr. Sabía saw us immediately. She didn’t just offer medical advice—she offered comfort, empathy, and time. She listened like a friend would. She changed Rubi’s formula, prescribed medication for the stye, and followed up **two days later** to check on her progress. Who does that these days? When the crying continued, she brought us back in and adjusted the formula again. That very night, **Rubi slept peacefully**. When the stye returned at her 3-month checkup, Dr. Sabía didn’t hesitate—she submitted an emergency referral, and we saw a specialist the **next day**. It’s been two weeks, and Rubi’s eye is now completely healed. --- Just two days ago, I had another appointment with my oldest, and Dr. Sabía **still** asked about all three of my children by name. She genuinely cares—and that word doesn’t even begin to describe how much. Pediatric Associates, please hear me: **you have a once-in-a-lifetime physician on your team**. Dr. Francesca Sabía is brilliant, compassionate, and thorough. She gives her patients time, her heart, and her knowledge. If I could see her every single day, I would. The day I have to move out of Florida will be heartbreaking, because finding a doctor like her again will be nearly impossible. Dr. Sabía, even if you don’t consider me a friend, I need you to know: **you have changed my children’s lives**. I thank God for your existence, and I will be forever grateful for the care you’ve given to my family. Thank you. Truly Carmen Velasquez
