Pediatricians who are Physicians - Bartow, FL

"My daughter has gone to Dr Velez last two years. She is very informative and educated me on information for my daughter's ADHD medications and options for school accommodations. Very polite and good with my daughter and follows up with questions or needs when I contact the office. Just wish I didn't have to always go through the appointment reps for a question that only the actual office can answer! Dr. Velez has excellent bedside manner, which is important to me."

"Dr. Moore had been my baby’s doctor for about 7-8 months (since almost he was born) and I had enough after our last visit (February, 2015). I don't recommend Dr. Moore especially for the new moms. You have to do your research about baby’s development and ask him questions if you want to learn something from him. As a new mom you can’t guess everything and do a research about what may happen next. He is also very negative about everything. I always feel very down after our visits even though my son is perfectly healthy and not just meet but exceeds development milestones. I come home doing more research to check if everything is ok or not. Thankfully my son hasn't been sick seriously, so I can’t tell you how he would do a treatment during a serious situation. But I wouldn't trust him. Another big no is that my sweet, almost never crying baby, cries a lot during our every visit and he didn't do that with any other doctors that we saw. His nurse, Shirley was so rude and harsh to my baby. She was also very angry when he was crying and kept forcefully pushing his head down to the table and twisting his arm when she was doing a simple procedure like measuring his head and taking his temperature. She didn't even let me to comfort him and calm him down. She even pushed me. He is such a sweet baby that if you talk to him and try to distract him, he would easily calm down. She shouldn't be a pediatric nurse if she doesn't like kids. The only good thing about Dr. Moore’s office is his other nurse Stephanie. She is a very lovely person. Dr. Moore is lucky that he is in Watson Clinic."

"Dr. Blue was the Neonatologist on call the night my son was born lifeless and not breathing. She stabalized him and suggested theraputic hypothermia to lessen any damage he sustained because he was having seizures. She was absolutely incredible. My husband and I loved her and thank her so much for saving our little boy's life!"
