Penguin Pediatrics

Dr Kodu has been an absolute rock for our family. He is incredibly kind and patient and a wonderful Doctor. When my second daughter was born, dr Kodu came to the hospital and detected a murmur which the other doctors and nurses had missed. A cardiologist was called in and indeed dr Kodu was correct in his diagnosis. We were so relieved and appreciative! When my daughter turned three his vision screening detected an abnormality in her ability to focus in one eye. Because of his early detection screening we were able to intervene early to correct s very serious case of amblyopia.
if you have a fever or cough and cold, you are seen promptly and calls are returned promptly any time of day or night. He is a wonderful man and Doctor. We fee truly blessed to have found Dr Kodu and his caring and kind staff! We love nurse Louisa!

I too should have written this some time ago. Dr. Kodu is FANTASTIC! He is entirely knowledgeable of all the things our kids need. One has allergies, the other was a preemie. We have always felt he was in command of every situation. Small practice, great staff, accessible after hours. They call in prescriptions directly.

How have I not reviewed them yet?
My daughter was born premature and Dr. Kodu has been there every step of the way for us. He is kind and we LOVE the receptionist and nurse as well. Their practice used to be in the Ashburn Village shopping center and I am happy they moved. This place has easier parking and it’s just warmer, newer, and nicer. Not to mention the fact that it’s RIGHT near Starbucks so after well-​visits, mommy can treat herself! :)
Dr. Kodu is so amazing that my daughter wanted to dress like a doctor for Halloween. My kids love him and his staff and he is just so supportive. We can call his emergency line any time of the night and he will get back to us and give us answers. He does not sugar-​coat anything. He is straight-​forward and honest and I respect that about him. I have always felt as though I can ask him anything about the kids from their weight (are they gaining enough weight? too much??) when they were little babies to their attitudes as toddlers. (Normal. This too shall pass.)
I don’t know what I would do if he moved to another area or stopped taking our insurance. We love the staff so much and they always remember the kids names and are so happy to see them!
I LOVE the late hours too. Some days, he is open and takes appointments until 8pm which is AMAZING because I can’t always make it to appointments earlier in the day.

I’m surprised to be the first one to review Penguin Pediatrics. Dr. Kodu is wonderful and his staff are equally great. My kids are 6 and 3 now. We’ve been seeing Dr. Kodu from the time they were born. He goes great lengths to clarify all your concerns and is very patient. Glad we found him and would recommend Dr. Kodu to anyone.

We have been seeing Dr. Kodu since he was chosen by Dr. McDonald to take over the practice from her. My daughter adores him. He is always very patient with her and takes his time to make sure he is really listening to her and not just the parent. This is very important as sometimes there is a clue in what the child says.
He does not just throw drugs at you and move you along. He really believes in finding the root of the problem and taking care of it. There is an answer and medication is not always the way to go.
So thankful we have him as our pediatrician; I know my daughter will always be in good hands.
