Cynthia Lavadia MD

As a healthcare provider myself, I was absolutely appalled by the way my sons needle was handle AFTER his immunization shot.
The medical assistant was nice but has no idea how to discard a needle after it had been used or to take off her used gloves BEFOREHAND you leave the examination room.
The tray along with gloved hands walked out of the exam room up to the front desk and the tray with the used needle was laid on the desk full of paperwork. She then continues to fish around to get the rest of my paperwork now with One glove on and tries to fix the printer with this one glove on all the time while this opened and used needle is sitting unattended in an open area.
Dr., you need to make sure the assistants you hire know what they’re doing!!! Gloves DO NOT go to the front desk while on your hands! Unsanitary! Everything comes off in the room. Including the damn dirty needle!
I will never go back. Disgusting. That just makes me wonder what else they do that is gross.

Dr. Lavadia has been treating my kids for 10 years, great Doc!!! She used to be located at St. Jude hospital in Fullerton and transferred to this location on Euclid. Of course we followed her because she was great with my kids.
The office is nice and clean. The waiting area is a good size with a TV playing movies. They about 4 patient rooms and wait time to be called back is normally 15 minutes. They do same day appts. which is great in case of an emergency.
As for doctor Lavadia I have always been very pleased. She shows concern for the kids and is thorough. Answers all my questions and is easy to get. Hold of if I call and leave a message. She will remain my kids doctor until I am forced to change.

Dr. Lavadia is fantastic. She is thoughtful, thorough, and personable with parents and children. She has been my daughter’s pediatrician for a year and a a half (since birth) and is absolutely great.
The negative about this office is the limited schedule. I have to get out of work to take my daughter in since Dr. Lavadia is only available in the mornings. However, visits are fairly quick and I’ve never had trouble getting in to see her the same day or within 24 hours when my daughter is sick. Overall it’s a great office and the limited schedule is tough but it hasn’t posed any major problems for us yet.

She is filipino so she is familiar with the filipino way of taking care of babies. She basically told my mom not to do it that way. Dont always hold the baby until they fall asleep — they need to learn to sleep on their own. Not all old school ways still work nowadays. Now my mom can’t argue with me because i can say «the doctor said so». My job sort of helped me look a lil crazy to people outside of work. I have to know the hows, whys and what ifs so everytime we see her i have a list of questions for her. Instead of waiting for me to ask her one by one, she takes the paper and answers all my questions LOL!
