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've been going to Dr.Dauer almost my whole life, I am now moving off to college and thus ending my medical life with this office. However, I will never forget what a great Doctor she is. If you want a wonderful doctor for many years who loves and cares for you, schedule your appointment today!

Dr. Wendy Dauer has been a God send to my 2 children and I. My 2 children have autism and she has been caring, patient and professional. She has gone out of her way to make me feel supported, she has guided me when in doubt. Her staff including Irma have been amazing. Irma is so sweet that my children feel comfortable while at their office. I am grateful for their services and recommend all families with children. I do not feel like a number but as a human being, thank you so much.

We love Dr Dauer. I have been bringing my son to her since January 2015 because I needed a doctor that I could actually make an appointment with since his previous doctor did not have front office staff. She is extremely knowledgeable and always explains things to me as well as my son. I highly recommend Dr Dauer.

I have 4 girls that come to Dr Dauer, the care they receive is excellent. They always make time to see them in case of emergency. Dr Dauer is extremely thorough and always follows up. My girls love seeing Dr Dauer, she is patient and caring and instantly puts them at ease. Nurse Irma is just as great, over the years they’ve come to feel like family. I highly recommend Dr. Dauer and her staff to anybody looking for exceptional pediatric care.

Dr Wendy and nurse Irma are caring and my kids have been to them since they were born. They are now 11 and 13. Dr Wendy is very good at what she does and doesn’t leave anything to chance. When she finds something not quite right with your child, she will ask you to get a thorough checkup by a specialist. I really like this about her. Nurse Irma is the one that administers all the shots and tests. She is usually so quick the kids don’t even know they got their shot. She has an engaging personality and my kids really like her. I definitely recommend Dr Wendy Dauer and her team!

Dr. Wendy Dauer and her staff are always attentive, pleasant, and efficient. The office is clean and organized. Today was my daughter's second time seeing Dr. Dauer; both times my daughter did not cry like she had at other pediatrician's office. The staff and Dr. Dauer make it a fun experience which contributed to my daughter's calm demeanor during the visits. I am not from the Whittier area, I drive 30 minutes to keep seeing Dr. Dauer. PLUS she speaks spanish! :)

I can’t say enough about Dr Dauer. She doesn’t just treat my boys, she cares for them. My family is beyond thankful for her attention to detail and due diligence when something doesn’t seem right. She guided and supported my family through a very scary illness with our youngest son and we are beyond grateful for her.

I have been with Dr Dauer's office for over 13 years. I couldn't ask for a better doctor for my child. She has always been available when needed. I have never had a problem getting into their office or schedule an appointment for something my child is needed. She is a wonderful pediatrician and cares for my daughter. I love the office staff as well. Very caring an takes an interest in their patients and their families.

I was referred to Dr.Dauer by my OBGYN. She was the first doctor to examine both our children at birth. She continues to be our doctor to date, for 10 years she has provided excellent care. She is very thorough, caring, up to date on recent studies, and has given us very helpful referrals to various doctors. I appreciate the confidence she has encouraged in our children to have with questions and concerns about their health. They both look forward to their visits to the office, that says a lot!

We love Dr. Dauer! After having a terrible experience with my daughter's first pediatrician, Dr. Dauer was referred to us by my OBGYN as he takes his own kids to her. She is very professional, intelligent, helpful, and kind. We have nothing but good things to say about her and her staff.

Dr. Wendy Douer is sweet, carring and very helpful she took enough time to answer our questions and concerns. Her office staff make the kids and parent’s visit pleasurable by minimizing the waiting time and making the medical exams fun and playful. My son is 6 years old, he was nervous about visit but Dr. Dauer explained to him why and how she was doing to examine him calming his anxiety and helping him trust her.
