Gaby and Cristina reassured us that they would everything they could to help.

OMG. The staff this morning made my whole day, if not year. I was referred to the Joe Dimaggio next door for my son's fractured wrist and they refused to see us because they don't take walk-ins. His wrist was fractured 3 days ago, but I only got the confirmation yesterday and was referred to them. Since he didn't have a splint on, his wrist is swollen, and he is a lot of pain, I figured I would go there since I couldn't get them on the phone and they never did call me to book the appointment. As we walked into the building, Joe Damiggio's Ortho office off Coral Ridge called me to make the appointment. I told her we were right outside. We were in front of the door and even pushed the button to get in, but they refused to even open the door, but instead suggested I take him to an Urgent Care. I immediately went next door to Pediatric Associates and explained to them what happened and immediately Gaby and Cristina reassured us that they would everything they could to help. Gaby jumped into action and spoke with Dr Maria Harnisth who agreed to see my son and put a splint on his hand, she also put a sling on him to hold his hand up. Gaby then made several calls to try to get us an earlier appointment to see another Pediatric Ortho and was able to get us one for first thing Monday morning. Their actions and compassion brought tears to my eyes and I am forever grateful to them. My son and I felt so defeated for my son after leaving Joe Dimaggio, but felt seen, heard and cared for when we left Pediatric Associates.

The Front desk staff at this office is excellent.

The Front desk staff at this office is excellent. Most of the doctors at Pediatric Associates are also excellent. The only disadvantage, is you really don’t get to see the same doctor every time you go in unless it’s a well visit. But the advantage, is extended hours and weekend hours. Overall, I highly recommend and really appreciate the front desk staff as they are phenomenal.

Sanford G.

fantastic with children.

Dr. Maria Harnisth is the best. She's fantastic with children and very knowledgeable. Great caring doctor that always takes the time to listen to what is going on with my children.

Smith A S.

kind demeanor.

Dr Arbeitman was our pediatrician for a couple of years and she's been consistently super helpful, friendly, and professional with our 2 kids. My daughter has a really bad fear of needles and I'm so grateful for this Dr kind demeanor and how she was able to talk to her and convince her to get her labs drawn. Always a great experience! Kids love her.

Dr. Arbeitman also made sure our little one was comfortable during the check-up.

We had such a positive experience with Dr. Lori Arbeitman, MD at heron bay location during our baby's wellness check. Dr. Arbeitman was incredibly patient, thorough, and kind throughout the entire visit. She took the time to walk us through our baby’s development milestones and answered all of our concerns with warmth and professionalism. What stood out most was how clearly and compassionately Dr. Arbeitman explained his growth chart and the vaccines our baby would receive—discussing both the potential side effects and the risks and benefits. It made us feel informed, confident, and reassured in our decisions. Dr. Arbeitman also made sure our little one was comfortable during the check-up, and her gentle manner really helped ease my nerves. She asked about sleep and made a joke about sleeping throughout the night with a toddler and infant that I felt warmth from her and felt understood as a mom. We’re so grateful for the care and attention we received. Thank you, Dr. Lori Arbeitman for being such a wonderful part of our baby’s journey!
