My child has been seeing Dr. Saurez for 3 years now and I couldn’t be happier with her bed side manner. I recommend this practice every chance I get. Wait times are minimal and the office is clean.

Dr.Suarez is by far one of the best doctors I’ve ever came across for my daughters. She really took her time with both of my girls one by one and throughly explained everything to me and my daughters. Very nice doctor. I would recommend this doctor
May 9, 2024Rian P.Verified patient
If you’re located in the Bronx this is the pediatrician to see. Coming from having my children see a D.O who would rush in ask if everything was the same and then leave; Dr. Suarez did the complete opposite. She was beyond friendly with my children. She took her time and provided them each a different level of attention while still being able to communicate with me any concerns that I had. I’m very grateful I found her.

I am so happy I went through Zocdoc to find a pediatrician for my 6 day old son. I came across Dr. Suarez-Mokotsi and was impressed by the ratings and reviews. Let me tell you…she did not disappoint! She was thoughtful, considerate, answered many of my questions, and made me and my husband feel so comfortable. I am so glad I booked with her and I am looking forward to her being my son’s primary doctor.
May 15, 2023Ezra R.Verified patient
My son has had a hard time with nurses and doctors BUT TODAY! a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. Thanks to the wonderful nurses and Dr.Suarez. She was so nice and took the time to explain everything - also bed side manner from both the doctor and nurses literally my eyes were watering he was able to get a physical and blood drawn. Both which have been very difficult to do in the past but today everything went very smoothly. My son has clearly approved of this place and I couldn’t be more happier with how his appointment went today. The treatment that he was given to make him feel comfortable was the best I’ve seen. Truly thankful I found this place.

Dr. Suarez-Makotsi was extremely personable and very informative. My daughter former pediatrician was much more old school so this was a breath of fresh air. She answered all of my questions and counseled me on all of my concerns. The best bedside manner I have witnessed with a pediatrician this far, we will definitely continue care with her going forward!
