Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Outstanding Pediatric Care!
Dr. Danzi is an excellent doctor who takes time with my children every time I see her. I cant understand the previous reviews as this doctor has NEVER rushed me. Dr. Danzi’s office was recently reorganized and she is the only pediatric doctor in the office at this point. Additionally, her current office staff have been wonderful in getting my children into the office in a timely manner. I’m very happy with this office that I have been with for now 5 years. Dr. Danzi is knowledgeable, patient and an incredible doctor. I completely and totally trust her with my children’s care and well-being.

What a blessing that my friend told me to call Dr. Danzi to treat my son. She diagnosed my son correctly with Kawasaki disease. An illness that could cause permanent heart damage in a child. Dr. Danzi is a caring, dedicated doctor who makes you feel confident your child will get better in her hands. My son is fully recovered now, but I don't know if he would be, if I hadn't found Dr. Danzi. Thank you is hardly enough for the care my son was given.

We had recently moved to the area and was referred to Dr. Christine Danzi’s practice by our previous pediatrician Dr. Greg Martocci from Garden City. Dr Danzi barely answers your questions, always wants to rush you out the door or at least makes you feel that way – chop chop, next patient please! The office in general looks nice and clean, their staff are unprofessional an incompetent, especially the billing department which they over charged us once in the past and later credited us back.

The doctors themselves are adequate. The office along with support staff are awful. They mishandle the billing, don't return the calls and when leave messages to have the doctor do so, we hear nothing. The waiting rooms have 8 chairs so you're likely standing with your sick child for the 45 minutes. Way too many quality pediatricians out there who can diagnose strep or ear infections just as well as this office. Not worth the aggravation

Had children there for care since birth. This dr and her co-dr messed up the timing of my child's booster shots. This wasn't uncovered until they were registered for school, at which time the reception kids they have working there were rude and unhelpful to help resolve the situation. Find a pediatrician with a smaller practice. These Drs have their foot out the door on every appt and write rx for antibiotics for everything that comes their way. steer clear.
