He is an excellent doctor I've known him since I was 15 yrs old. I'm 50 and all of kids and siblings kids go to him we love Dr. Ochs we will recommend him to everyone we know. ??????

He's very personable and experienced and knows how to examine children without freaking them out. My daughter is very anxious, and she didn't get teary even once. And that's saying something. She will cry at the sight of a blood pressure cuff. But, when she started saying momma, momma! And looking at the blood pressure machine they just said you don't have to do it this time. She was coming in for sure illness not a check up, so that was very appreciated.

Dr Ochs has always had a love for his position as a pediatrician. He loves what he does and enjoys seeing/helping the kiddos. I went through 3 different pediatricians and I'm finally happy.

Verified patient
Dr. Ochs is an excellent pediatrician. He has been the pediatrician for my three children. He connects wonderfully with kids and gives a peace of mind to the parents. Thank you Dr. Ochs for your dedication.
Verified patient
The doctor is fine but the office is a mess. Went there twice and both times they had issues with the appointment time. Waited three hours the first time and the second time they had booked someone in my slot and were running behind again so I just left.
Dr. Ochs was very attentive to our needs as new parents and took time to answer all of the questions and concerns we had. Dr. Ochs has excellent bedside manners and I feel I could not have made a better choice of pediatrician for my new baby.
Verified patient
Dr Ochs is outstanding! You couldn't ask for better care or time spent with patients. He takes the time to answer questions and really examine his patients. He listens to parents! We have been blessed to be with him for almost 15years. All my kids love him as much as I do. The walk in times are so helpful.
Verified patient
Dr. Ochs is seriously the best! We don't fear taking the kids to the doctor anymore because of how awesome he is. To be quite honest, we sort of look forward to it!
Verified patient
Very informative. He was excellent with Sage.
Verified patient
Thorough and helpful.
Dr. Ochs is an excellent pediatrician. We never feel rushed during appointments with him, as he takes plenty of time to address any concerns we have about our one-year-old. He offers practical advice (and comforting reassurance for nervous parents). You can tell Dr. Ochs loves what he does, and his experience and knowledge shine through in his bedside manner. My husband and I started out at a different practice when our son was born, and we were really dissatisfied with our visits. We felt talked down to, and we didn't feel the doctor was as well versed on current pediatric research as he should have been. Since switching to Dr. Ochs's practice (we've been for multiple well and sick visits at this point) we've been extremely happy. Dr. Ochs is everything you could hope to find in a pediatrician - attentive, patient, knowledgeable, and kind.
Verified patient
We've been with Dr Ochs for about 10 yrs now. The wait time dilemma is a catch 22. He's awesome because he spends time with his patients. He's always running behind because he spends time with his patients. I'll take waiting to see a doctor that actually listens and cares to one that runs out of the room after 15 mins.
Verified patient
Dr. Todd Ochs is great with kids. He engages our son and keeps him distracted during his check up, which helps everything go smoother. His years caring for kids really shows, he's a professional.
Verified patient
Dr. Ochs is a wonderful pediatrician! I highly recommend him for families with children with special needs. He made the exam fun for my child and answered all my questions before leaving the room.
Verified patient
We are so happy that we chose Dr. Ochs for our son's pediatrician. He takes time to answer all the questions that we as first time parents have. He also offered tips and advice on how to keep our son happy and healthy. His hours are convenient- especially the walk-in times. Plus it's nice to be able to walk to his office!
Verified patient
Seemed to enjoy spending the time with me and my baby. Was personable and encouraging about the pitfalls of being a new parent. Let me hold my baby as he examined him.
Dr. Ochs is the best! My son has been his patient since birth, he is now eleven. Though we are no longer in the city we make the trek in to see Dr. Ochs and will continue to do so. My son nearly died from a sepsis infection when he was two weeks old and I credit Dr. Ochs with saving his life.
Verified patient
Visits are always great. Dr Ochs is very thorough and you can tell he actually cares. Wait time is a bit long, but I can live with that. My ONE complaint: it's ALWAYS so hot in the office!
GREAT LIKE ALWAYS... GREAT DOCTOR.. .
Verified patient
He is such a fun doctor and the front desk lady is so sweet! They work with you and are very helpful. He always reassures you to never hesitate to call, that he is there to help! Wonderful office!!!
Verified patient
Always professional, courteous and friendly with us. Never had a problem to see him. After 14 years and three kids we certainly feel confident on his knowledge and expertise.
Verified patient
I've been bringing my children to see Dr. Ochs since my 26 year old was 6 months old; My baby is now 17 & its sad to think that our visits with Dr. Ochs are numbered. He is more than a doctor to the kids. I know if something is on their mind, Dr Ochs is someone they would feel comfortable talking with. Over these 26 years Dr. Ochs has always been there for our family, and we will definitely miss him. I recommend Dr. Ochs to new parents everywhere as well as any family with children who may not be satisfied with their child's pediatrician We love you Dr. Ochs!
Verified patient
From the very time I took my newborn son to see Dr. Ochs, I knew that I had found the right doctor. Fast forward 2 1/2 years and I still cant say enough. Dr. Ochs has always been attentive and caring with my son. Samuel loves going to see him. Im sure that Dr, Ochs will remain Samuel's pediatrician for as long as I can take him there.
Verified patient
My visit with Dr. Ochs was a pleasant one. He was really busy today but e took the time out to get to know me, talked with my son and showed true care. He wasn't in a hurry to get me and my son out of there even though he had other patients to attend to. I will be going back to him for the health of my children. He now has two new patient, my son Cameron and daughter Olivia
Verified patient
I love Dr. Ochs. I'll never forget the moment he walked into my hospital room shortly after giving birth, took one look at my nervous husband, and immediately put him at ease. He joked around and made him cofortable holding and caring for our new baby, so now he feels like Super Dad. He takes great care of our daughter medically, is thorough but also laid back, and really makes us feel comfortable and reassured.
Verified patient
All my children grew up with Dr. Ochs being their pediatrician. My youngest is 14 and he has been seeing Dr. Ochs since he was 2 weeks old. Dr. Ochs is family to us and I wouldn't change doctors for anything in this world.
Verified patient
Very nice
Dr. Ochs is a fantastic doctor. My kids love him. The way he interacts with the children is amazing, they're never afraid and always willing to do what he asks. He addresses all questions & issues parents may have. I am always satisfied walking out of the office.
My visit was great. I got to the doctors office 5 minutes before my appointment and check in was fast and in less then 10 min the Dr. came in to check me. It was great.
Every time we visit the Dr.'s office all questions are answered, along with any concerns. I was recommended to Dr. Ochs and have been with the Dr. for 8 years with both of my children. I love the passion he has and build a great relationship with him.
Dr. Ochs makes you feel cared for and significant to him. He doesn't rush and has a way of making children feel comfortable. He gets them laughing and always talks to them & listens to them.
My visit/visits have been great. Dr. Ochs is friendly and a wonderful doctor for my children. I have no complaints. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.
Our visits are always very good. The staff is friendly & welcoming. Dr. Ochs is great w/ my daughter. Dr. Ochs is very knowledgeable. I'm a very satisfied mom.
On a scale of 1-10, Dr. Ochs is 1,000. There is no better doctor than he is. He has been a wonderful doctor for all 5 of my children and now my grand daughter. I wish he had a family practice because he would be my doctor as well. You will never find a doctor as wonder as Doctor Ochs, he's the best!
