I was a first time mom, so finding a local doctor was really important to me. I researched a lot of places. I went to a few meet and greets at local pediatrician offices. I really did not like those, they were crowded and you did not really get any personal interaction. Plus the doctor leading them would not necessarily be your child's doctor.
Dr Sarmiento was different. He met with us personally in his offices for about 20 minutes free of charge. It was nice to actually sit down and ask questions. He was very friendly and cracked a few jokes.
I knew right away that I wanted him to be my babies doctor.
I do not regret my decision and have followed him through the different banner offices he has been assigned to. He is now in surprise and I still go to see him even though it is a little farther. I highly recommend this doctor.
