San Diego Pediatrics

Ok. After my review, we had multiple calls back and forth with MD office.
Spoke with Office manager who was very professional to deal with the situation. She said that she had a meeting with office, medical staffs to discuss the issue. Regardless what happened to my girls, any other parents/​patients should not have any experience in the future.

We have been bringing our daughter here for 6 years. We moved out east and continue to make the drive to this office because they are so amazing! We like all the doctors and nurse practitioners that work there however, we love Jennifer and always see her whenever possible!

For people who are in the practice of healing and caring, the office staff is some of the most Non-​compassionate people I have ever come across. We have been with this office for over 10 years now, and after every interaction, I always think I should switch. The only reason we don’t switch is Dr. Snyder. He is a wonderful, caring and knowledgeable physician, but I truly don’t think he is aware of how his staff treats his patients. My kids are generally very healthy and I rarely have the need to call the office or come in for an appointment, but when I do, I dread having to deal with the people working there. They are rude, uncaring, abrasive and difficult to talk to. Last time I was there, I witnessed another new mom almost in tears from the way she was being treated by this office staff. I hope Dr. Snyder calls a staff meeting and works with some of his office staff on customer service and compassion!

This office is the best children’s office in the college area. I recommend Jennifer on Mondays or Thursdays or Emily on Wednesday. They really care for the kids.

We’ve had a very pleasant experience with San Diego pediatrics so far. We’ve met dr Snyder who is calm, very friendly, and has provided very sound advice. He has an amazing number of years of experience, which is what I want for my pediatrician!
We’ve also had multiple appointments with Emily, who’s been a pleasure to work with and has taken the time to chat with us about all sorts of issues.
Overall I highly recommend them.
The location is also great. Close to highway and plenty of parking.

UPDATE: 6 months in and we continue to like the team here. We haven’t experienced the rudeness that’s been reported by some other reviewers. It’s hard to believe some of the other reviews that give this office a 1 star after going there for many years. Dr. Snyder and his team must had been doing something right all the time.

Amazing staff and amazing location!!! I love this office. My son was a patient of dr snyder when he was first born till about 4 months old, when my insurance was changed they could no longer see him due to my insurance not covering dr Snyder. I was visiting north park family health center and it was horrible. Thankfully we switched insurance just so he could be seen here! They have a sick entrance and sick waiting room which is a big plus for me, I feel a lot better taking my son in for a sick visit knowing he isn’t spreading germs to other patients and vice versa. They don’t take walk ins but you can schedule a same day sick visit which is convenient for me at least, I know the time to come in and unlike other offices you aren’t waiting forever to be seen. Both sides, well entrance and sick entrance have tvs which is usually on Disney Junior, well entrance has a play area and sick entrance just has the tv but it’s ok since your child is seen within 5 minutes of arriving and it avoids the unnecessary spreading of germs. rooms have little animal mask on the outside of the doors and they have a small bench with books for kids to read/​look at while dr comes in. Id recommend this office to anyone with children and who lives in the area!

WOW!!! I can’t believe San Diego Pediatrics has no reviews yet…
WE LOVE DR SNYDER!!! We recently relocated to San Diego and after extensive research came across Dr Snyder. He really took his time and *listened* to any questions I had (and I usually have A LOT ;)). He joked, played, and put my daughter at ease. There’s something very sweet and comforting about him. I don’t think I’ve ever had a doctor spend so much time getting to know me and my family. Since he has so much experience, I feel confident in anything he has to say. Geez, I wish he could be MY doctor too!
UPDATE: Recently for my daughter’s two year well visit we saw DR. G. She’s also WONDERFUL!!! Took the time and talked with my daughter. You can tell these doctors love what they do and really show it with the care and time spent with their patients. The staff is really nice… BUT you must let them know what DR you want to see otherwise they will schedule you with whomever is available. No big, just a bit of communication is all that’s needed.
We LOVE San Diego Pediatrics!!! :)

amazing staff who are great with children.

Dr. G has been our pediatrician since our first child was in my tummy. Marley is 5 ½ years old. I can remember all the questions and concerns I had being a first time mom and Dr. G has ALWAYS listened and answered. We have since had a second child who is already 2 years old. Shame on me for not writing this review sooner. I am so impressed with the whole office and we just recently met the new addition to the staff, Emily and she is a perfect fit. I was very comfortable with her and she answered all my questions in detail. Sometimes I think about having the kids «fake» sick just so we can visit! That is how good they are. Keep up the amazing work!

All props to Dr. G!
She is caring and fun to my boys and an excellent BS filter for their parents (My wife and Me).
She is matter-​of-​fact, practical and straight to the point on what my boys need and what might be overkill. Having said this she has never steered us wrong as to judgement of care when they are sick. She does the extra homework that is sometimes needed and has even called us at home to check on us, even once while we were on vacation!
I also appreciate that she doesn’t bend to the popular winds– the boys are properly immunized and she has always taken the time and patience to explain why the immunizations are necessary and what, if any, problems they may pose (answer in our case: none!)
Everything she does is backed by good science tempered with appropriate caution and she has won me for life, or at least until the boys are too old for a pediatrician!
I cannot say enough good things about her! She treats my children as though they were her own.

My experience with this office has been great!
Dr. Snyder is wonderful and the nurses have been so helpful. I left another practice and came to this one (recommended by a family member). I’m so glad I did.

Dr. Snyder has been our pediatrician since my 11 year old was a newborn. He is a such a good doctor that we have kept him as our doctor even though we do not live near his office (near SDSU). He has a great approach with children, explaining what he’s doing before he does it, and making sure that the child enjoys coming to the doctor. He makes you feel like there are no other patients but you. He is patient and kind and not overly aggressive with prescribing medications if there are less invasive ways to solve the problem. He is fantastic!

Dr. Snyder was on the list of referrals from my OB and I was sold when she said that he was her kids’ doctor 30 years ago. I trust my OB a lot so it was an easy choice. Dr. Snyder was very helpful when my daughter was first born. She was not taking to breastfeeding and he suggested using a tube at the breast to get her to start realizing «hey this is where food comes from!» Within 24 hours, my little gal had it and she started gaining weight fast! Now that she has had a few more check-​ups we have had the opportunity to meet the nurse practitioners and the other doctors in the office, all of which are just as nice and informative as Dr. Snyder.
I am so glad I went with my doctor’s suggestion and look forward to my daughter growing up in their care.

Dr. G isamazing! The wait is never long and she is always friendly and upbeat. Anytime I have called in with a question I have received a quick response from Dr. G herself. I have referred many of my friends to her and will be very sad when we have to move and switch doctors :(

I found Dr Snyder while searching for a pediatrician after leaving KP. I was a little skeptical since I was raised going to KP but I had to make a switch and this is who I chose.
My first experience was great it was easy to get an appointment and be seen within a few days. Dr Synder works with a few other assoc and so I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Abrahmson when Dr. Snyder was unavailable. She is also very sweet and a thorough Dr as well.
love that my kids come here. Dr Synder is one of the best, very thorough and a great communicator. The office is a little old but it is definitely made for children. They have a seperate waiting room for well kids and sick kids so that germs do not spread and there are plenty of toys to keep the kids occupied while waiting.
When calling the nurses line they are pretty prompt in responding to calls within their 2hr window and very nice and always helpful. I give them 4stars just based on the fact the office is a little older but other than that 5star treatment is what they give :)
