Reviews
"I have Dr Brar as a pediatrician for my children for 13 years now. Not one complaint to make. Hes amazing with my kids always has been ."
"The office is clean and the staff is friendly. Dr. Brar has always been great with my kids and I suspect those who complain are suffering from some problems themselves. Some deep seeded cases of denial about their children, especially their weight, might be the reason so many of you don't like the doctor."
"very thorough. second pediatrician and only been here once and he seems to be the only one trying to figure out what's wrong quickly. the office might be dated but i didn't come to judge the decor (everyone else leaving bad reviews) place is not dirty like everyone says, just old."
"Was very knowledgeable. Took the time to explain our daughters sickness and how he was gonna treat it."
"I can't say enough good things about Dr. Brar. I brought my teenage daughter to see him for the second time and both times he was wonderful. Very patient, explained everything, answered all our questions without feeling rushed. We only waited 20 min. to see him which I think is great. He spent over 40 minutes with my daughter and myself. Would definitely recommend him!"
