Reston Pediatric Associates

We have been using this practice for our daughter for the last 2 years. Both Dr are amazing and extremely complimentary. Not only do they have walk-​in hours for sick kids every morning; it is always easy to get an appointment if necessary.
I am not sure what the reviews are concerning the office staff but we have only had positive interactions with both nurses and staff. They are all very nice and truly care for your child.

Dr. Rodrigues is the best, my sons love him.
My only concern is the waiting time, we’ve been waiting for the doctor for more than 45 min. to 1 hour.
One more concern is that once I called to reschedule my son’s appointment and when we showed up the girl that attended us on the phone didn’t change our appointment.
We live 25 – 30 min from the doctor’s office.

Dr Rodriguez is the absolute best-​he has been spot on with my sons diagnoses every time! I am so thankful for this office! Having a sick little one is stressful enough-​knowing I can bring my son here is definitely a comfort!

I“ve been taking my daughter here for years. Dr. Rodrigues and Dr. Lindlau have always done a great job, and are very informative and kind. Two separate waiting rooms are great, particularly if you’ve got a healthy child who needs a flu shot or school physical or whatever.

Love this practice and love all the doctors we have seen. Especially Lindlau and Rodrigues. Always professional from the start to the finish of the visit. Very kind/​caring staff. They work with you to get you through well checkups/​med checks as quickly as possibly… no reason to be there «semi exposed» to any germs that might linger. The separate entrance/​waiting room for sick kids is a huge benefit. Occasionally the wait inside the exam room can go a smidgen long. So happy with this practice and plan to stay here with these doctors as long as possible.

We have been bringing our 19 month old daughter here since we moved to the area in May. Our experiences have always been favorable. The doctors are knowledgeable and the wait times are never very long. I really like that they have separate waiting rooms for the sick kids and the other kids that are just there just check-​ups and vaccines. The front desk staff has always been very pleasant and my calls to the doctors are always returned promptly.
One of the best parts is that they have early morning walk-​in hours for patients. This has come in handy a couple of times when we’ve had to deal with ear infections, colds, etc.

We came here one time, and early, for a second opinion for an issue with our infant and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Rui Rodrigues. The office experience was average to below average deserving 2 stars while the experience with the doctor was above average deserving 5 stars.
The two female ‘receptionists’ at the front desk were dressed in scrubs and did not have name tags. We were given a lot of paperwork which we took with us into the exam room, where we ended up waiting 20 minutes to be seen. Since there is no infant weight scale in the exam room, I had to carry my diapered, naked infant down the hall, where another sick child was being weighed nearby, to register him on the only infant weight scale they probably have in the whole office. His length measurements, which were taken in the exam room, were completely off. Instead of making an effort to stretch him out and measure him from head to toe like that, two marks were made on the sheet below (where his head and feet were) and the space in between was measured. Yes, he was resisting and crying but at my regular pedi office, a greater effort is made to obtain the proper measurements, the right way. Anyway, the height measurement was 3 inches less then what was recorded at my regular pedi office the week before.

Loved the physician! He was superrrrrr friendly and smart. He was obviously very book smart because as he was examining the baby, he knew right away what our baby had! It was this wierd medical term that even made our regular seasoned pedi frown before admitting it was probably right. Dr. Rodriguez knew right away what it was and gave us detail after detail about it. We were so happy to receive a diagnosis! I went home and looked it up, feeling better about the prognosis. Also, the doctor did not appear rushed and kept asking us if we had more questions. He was bright, confident, and easy to understand, too. I asked him a few questions about the practice and found out he even works with parents regarding vacciness, too, which is great.
So I was happy with the visit and wish the office staff was as up to date and professional as the physician. was because I would seriously consider switching pediatricians.

Dr. Foreman is great but like the others said, front staff is EXTREMELY rude. Also the hours are really flexible.

The entire office staff including reception, medical assistants, or nurses are hit or miss at being nice. The office itself is old and not modern by any means. They don’t go out of their way to be nice and comforting like they should be with children. My son was there to get 3 shots and they acted put out because he was upset and they were in a hurry. They don’t explain things like they should. They act as if they know it all and your naïve. The doctors are decent and nice, but they need to re-​examine their staff.

Not thrilled with Reston Pediatrics. My 1^st visit, the Dr. asked how I found them. I said Google. I got reprimanded for the way I found them. Wouldnt they be happy that they had a new client? Guess not. Then I couldnt even understand the doctor. He talked too fast… I was not comfortable taking my baby there. So I switched physicians within the practice. The other dr. was very nice but seemed tired. The last straw was when my child was 8 months old. He got his first real sickness. A stomach bug. He couldnt keep any food down. I had no idea what to do as it was my first child. I feared him getting dehydrated. I called after hours. They said they would call me back (probly 30 minutes or so.) All night i did not receive a call. I got on the next business day. It was treated as a NON-​emergency. Lucky for them I google like crazy and asked friends for advice thru the night and my baby got better with their advice. I had not heard from the doctor. I need someone to rely on in cases like these. someone that I can call in the middle of the night for advice, someone that is going to call me back. They are not the right doctors for that job. So we switched to Reston Town Center Pediatrics per a friend’s recommendation.

Can’t say anything terrible about the doctors here but you do have to get through the front office staff. The front office rude, abrupt, and unprofessional – not exactly child friendly. Don’t’ even bother calling 15 minutes before they close – they will just hang up on you OR put you on hold and then hang up. Dr. Forman needs to retrain the front office.
