Mehta Bhargesh P MD

This review is for Dr. Mehta’s Dunkirk office, also known as «The Children’s Place.» We took our son there over the course of his first year, but have since left the practice. Our son had severe reflux, with pain and excessive spitting up. While Dr. Mehta would keep having us back at our insistence, most of the course of our son’s reflux treatment was suggested by me as a result of my google searches. Had I not been so involved, we would have stopped at trying one unsuccessful medication and constant misery for our little boy.
I was also given very wrong advice, about limiting my nursing sessions with my child to lessen his spitting up. A baby knows when they are hungry and it is not my place to stop that and listen to the crying. Finally seeing a specialist and getting the correct medication, on the other hand, helped tremendously. On the plus side, nobody here ever suggested I stop nursing and switch to a specialized formula, which was very much appreciated.
I did not feel like the doctors were interested in creating a relationship with my family. There were also long waits and scheduling mix ups. You can’t talk with doctors or nurses on the phone, you must come in for an appointment. We have been with a new pediatrician’s office for a year and are much happier now.
