Testimonials
Rashi, Google Reviews, 2023
Dr. Vaidya & Dr. Meena are the best pediatricians in Waldorf! They are very patient, caring and thorough, and provide the best medical advice. There can sometimes be a wait, because they have a large patient base and they give their full attention to each patient. The staff is friendly and always gets you same day appointments for emergencies. My kids have been coming here for years and love both doctors!

I've been bringing my girls for the past almost 22 years. As a brand new mom having lactation issues doctor Meena is the best. She always makes me feel like I am the best mom and is always very encouraging when I need it. When you go to a practice that is this amazing there's going to be wait times that's a given. Sometimes are longer than others but for the most part we're in and out within 45 minutes to an hour. I never have a hard time getting the same day sick appointment and I have lots of friends that have seen other doctors and they are not the same. I wouldn't take my kids anywhere else!!

This is the third pediatrician office we have used for the past 25 years. It is by far the best. Every doctor, nurse, and member of the office staff are extremely helpful, caring, and skilled.

We love these Doctors, Dr. Meena is our favorite but no matter who you get they are all wonderful. Sometimes you have to wait but HELLO that's at any doctors office, especially during flu season, you can expect it to be busy. Any time you call there willing to see you same day as well. 5 stars for this office.
