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.

Avoid the stress
I was 10 minutes late to my appointment on a severe thunderstorm morning! With my newborn. I called to let the office know of this, and they said that if I was late I could risk being rescheduled by DR, I was a little shocked and in disbelief because the last appointment I had at this office they were running over an hour late! So I didn’t think the doctor actually cancel my infant new born son’s appointment when I arrived 10 mins late. This practice fishes for patient-clients at labor and delivery and they are extremely over booked and not flexible for appointment times! They’re booked out over a month in advance! I would not recommend them for newborn appointments because they need to be seen for vaccines etc and they are not flexible and you have no choice than to take the appointment time and day that they assign to you. I would avoid coming here! I really wanted to love them, but they’re just too over booked and not flexible and not very accommodating at all! Avoid this practice!

Best Ped Ever!!!
We love Dr. Lopatka! She is everything you want in a doctor for your child. She’s personable, she’s honest, she listens to parents; I mean really listens! She doesn’t just rush you through to check a box like some doctors. She talks to our daughter and also listens to her and decisions are made together. This has truly been a blessing and I’m so glad we found her. If you are looking for a great pediatrician for your child look no further!

I chose Dr. Lopatka after the birth of my daughter. She is an amazing doctor, who is patient and kind with all four of my children. Every time we see her it's like visiting with a friend. She has a great bedside manner, is very personable and listens thoroughly. It's nice to have a dialogue with her regarding any concern and knowing I am never judged but encouraged and supported. I would highly recommend Dr. Lopatka.

Dr. Lopatka is wonderful with all three of my children. She listens carefully, is thoughtful and respectful, answers questions, and makes us all feel at ease. She is very easy to understand and delivers great explanations. She was amazing when my children were infants and remains that way through teenage years. I would highly recommend Dr. Lopatka without hesitation to any parent.

Dr Lopatka I'm sure has hundreds of pts but treats us like we're her close friends. Remembers my kids, my situation, my last visit. She's amazing and caring.

I met Dr. Lopatka when she first did her rounds the day after giving birth. I have stuck with her ever since. She is a pediatrician I can trust and is very knowledgeable. I can bring an issue to her and she always has an advice on what measures to take next.
