Online Praise

We're proud of what Advanced Pediatrics' parents are saying about us online. Here are just a few examples...

"This is probably only one of a few medical offices I've been in during my lifetime that I don't mind coming to.  I think we'll keep this set of docs in our new boy's life."
-- Jake K on Yelp

"We are very impressed.  Everyone was friendly and helpful at the front desk.  The nurses were great with the boys, and I got some great advice from Dr. Martin.  My friends and neighbors highly recommended this practice to us when we moved to Vienna and I'm glad they did."
--Dan C on Yelp

"I would HIGHLY recommend this office for your children. The best staff, the best doctors, the best environment, the best care!"
--Sue J on Insider Pages

"We go to Advanced Pediatrics and like all the doctors. We never wait for an appointment and they are good about getting us in pretty quickly (within a couple hours) if our kid is sick."
--Anonymous on DC Urban Mom

 

The Difference

Surprisingly, research demonstrates that many physicians stop learning after they graduate from residency training. What makes Advanced Pediatrics so different is the emphasis we place on continued teaching and learning.  It's a rare day you won't find a medical student, resident, or even a nurse practitioner student spending time in our office.  With relationships with the University of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, George Mason University, and the pediatric program at Inova Fairfax, we have been trusted to prepare the pediatric providers of tomorrow.  Our doctors and nurse practitioners also attend conferences across the country to keep medically current.  It is our passion to continue educating parents, children, and students while remaining engaged students ourselves.
