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.

I am so greatfull for Dr. VasconcelloMy daughter was a premature baby. Since the day I brought her to this office until today I have no worries because I know she is in very good and wise hands.Dr. Vasconcello’s professionalism and excellent care always give me a peace of mind when I think about my daughter’s Helth and wellness.The office is very nice and clean. Specially now with this pandemic situation they have a very organized system to protect our children. If you have Covid symptoms or have been exposed they have separated the rooms not to risk the others with no symptoms or those who come for a regular check up. Thank you Dr. Vasconcello for all these years of excellent service!

Todas las visitas con el Dr. Vascocello-Cohen han sido extremadamente excelentes. El Dr. Vascocello es un excepcional profesional, tiene un equipo que trabaja acorde a la exigencia de dar un especial servicio. El Dr. ama a su profesión y es capaz de involucrarse con la familia para lograr un teamwork Dr +paciente. Del Dr solamente puedo acreditar que es un Dr. sumamente humano y exigente, por esa razón es tan tedioso esperar por él. Yo le aconsejo que si su tiempo es corto no vaya al Dr. Vascocello, pero si usted está dispuesto a esperar por él, no dude en llevar a sus hijos, yo les aseguro que serán bien atendidos por él, por su esposa que también es Dr, por su enfermero Héctor que es excelente, y por todo su equipo. Te quiero mucho Dr.Vascocello y estoy muy agradecida con usted. Gracias desde Yuraima y familia. Dios bendiga su equipo, su familia y su profesión.

The most AMAZING, KNOWLEDGEABLE, CARING AND PROFICIENT doctor I have e ever had the privilege to work with. As a nurse, he and his wife Dr.. Norma Vasconcello, are the only pediatricians I trust to care for my own children. So honored to have had the privilege to work with them, that I trust them implicitly to treat my own children. They truly deserve a 10 out of a scale from 1 to 5. I have bared witness to countless children's lives being saved or improved through their care. Truly the best pediatricians in all of South Florida.

Choosing Dr Octavio Vascocello as my kids pediatrician has been the best decision I have ever taken . Both him and his wife have proven to be a bundle of knowledge , professionalism and extreme compassion for my kids. He is always available to my questions even when he is not at the office. There is no doubt I would recommend him to every single parent that wants to the most trutworthy pediatrician for their little ones

The very best. The most attentive and humane being. He does what he does because he loves it and at the same time is exceptional while doing it. He is more than a pediatrician to our family. He has cared for my 4 children as if they were his own. I have a daughter that has had serious health issues and honestly if it wasn’t for him she wouldn’t be here today. If there is any medical issues with your child this is the man to see! My heart is at peace knowing he takes care of my children’s health.

Best doctor ever I would not trust my children to anyone but Octavio and Norma Vasconcello. Very attentive and the best thing is that they actually worry about your children, they are also always available via text message at any time even during weekends. The only downside is the office staff, but once you see them the wait and everything else is worth it because you know your children are in the best hands possible.
