| - Going to write this review on Dr. Z, the nurses, and overall MPPA. I have been taking my kids to MPPA since 2006 with my first born. We started at the mesa location but once we moved to chandler we switched offices. I have always had great experiences with the offices, the drs, and the overall care of my children.
Dr. Z is probably one of the best peds I have ever known, she is so sweet, patient, kind, and a HUGE breastfeeding advocate. My second child wasn't putting on "enough" weight for the first dr we saw and she kept pushing supplementing. It ruined our breastfeeding journey long before either of us were ready. Finally I found Dr. Z and she said she was perfectly fine gaining what she was as a BF baby. Now with my third every time she gives a big "way to go!" attitude when I tell her we're still nursing :). She has gone above and beyond with my babies when they're sick, calling after hours just to follow up or calling to give a lab or test update. Then recently with my oldest she sat and listened when I had concerns about her behavior. Instead of brushing it off she quickly suggested looking into checking out for special needs, turns out after all of the research and time that she is on the spectrum.
I can't say enough about the nursing, when we walked in they know my children my name and they are always so kind and patient with them. When it comes to shots they are very gentle, as much as you can be with a shot, and are always quick to let me know when I can pick them back up and console them. Every shot I always end up crying and they always check on me as well which is nice. There have been several time after a shot I sit in the room for an extra five minutes comfort nursing my baby and they never rushed me out the door.
When ever somebody is looking for a new pediatrician or a breast-feeding friendly pediatrician I always recommend Mesa pediatrics and especially Dr. Z.
Now the reason that I am saying who I'm giving the five stars to is because the front desk is one of the harder parts to praise. Other than Laura and one other (not sure of her name) who I'd give the 5 to, when I call in or check in, it's so stressful. "J" constantly has me repeat myself, mixes up my kids, calls my oldest by the wrong name even after I correct her, never seems like she's happy to be at work, has a poor over the phone manner, and just makes it frustrating when it shouldn't be. I figured before it was because she was new but now... Even the few times my husband has gone in with us or had to call he's experienced the same thing.
