"The office staff is fantastic as well, it doesn’t get any better then the care and compassion given at Bambini Pediatrics. DR. Sarah listens and cares for every concern I have."
— Bambini Pediatrics Patient Review"Never see a doctor. Tired of being constantly charged with various $25 fees for EVERYTHING. Forms fees, email fees, you name it. My approximate wait time was between 45 minutes and 1.5 hr every time."
— Dr. Joseph Malak Patient Review"She is the worst, most unprofessional, and unpleasant doctor I have ever encountered. My child has been a patient for almost 8 years and she still doesn't know our names and needs a recap of the most basic information."
