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.

I would highly recommend Dr. Vaseema to anyone looking for a highly competent, educated and caring physician. If you value quality of care and the correct diagnosis don't waste your time on another pediatrician. She literally has saved my child's life.

Dr. Vaseema is my favorite doctor. She gives so much attention to my children. I feel as though she has truly been blessed with the gift of healing. I believe she not only has the knowledge but a level of kindness that's rarely seen these days.

Over all it was an OK experience. The staff was very nice, and friendly. The doctors office was very dirty. It was upsetting that I had to bring my 4 month old into a doctors office so dirty, you can tell they don’t clean often. This was our first time seeing the dr. She was very impersonal with us and my baby. I asked her questions she didn’t even answer, and she didn’t really seem to care about our concerns. I will never take my child back to see this doctor..
