In patients' words
"Dr. Bhojani is a gem. I am so glad she is our pediatrician. She listens to all my concerns, shows genuine care for my little one and even encourages me. I feel as if she is a partner in this parenting journey."
— LocalityBiz review (Pediatric Associates of Alexandria)"They now categorically refuse to send any medical bills or communications by mail, only to their online Patient Portal they require you to use... If you don't remember your password you can't reset it online you have to call their office."
— LocalityBiz review (ALL Pediatrics of Alexandria)"Care is fine but overall a disappointing experience... no one on staff is friendly. If you have a kid that's afraid the doctor's office, no efforts are made to comfort them."
— LocalityBiz review (Van Dorn Pediatrics PC)"Having a pediatrician, I can contact after hours has been a game-changer for infant care."
