We love doctor V! She is so nice, patient, and gentle with my son even when he is screaming and trying to destroy the office. She also truly cares for all of her patients and is always there for emergency situations or questions. When we were looking for an insurance we made sure to get one we can use with her because we don't want to go to any other doctor.

Dr. V is simply the best pediatrician I could have asked for. She even does emergency calls after office hours if needed! We've never had an issue and she treats our daughter like it's her own. It's also really easy to get an appointment, unlike other doctors where you're waiting for weeks.

Can't recommend Dr V and the entire staff more. We did so much research to find both a doctor and office team that we could trust and we absolutely found the best with Wonderkidz. Highly recommend especially for first time parents who run a bit anxious - Dr V is so reassuring and always available for questions by text or call.

Finding a pediatrician you trust is so hard, but we feel so lucky to have found WonderKidz. The office is always clean, the staff is friendly, and Dr. V takes her time to answer every single one of our questions without making us feel rushed. A truly wonderful practice.

Dr. V has been seeing my daughter since she was born. She has such a calming presence that even my usually shy toddler is comfortable with her. We were able to get a same-day sick appointment last week and were seen right away. Thank you for the amazing care!

When should my newborn have their first doctor visit?

What should I bring to my newborn's first appointment?
▼Please bring your newborn's hospital discharge papers, birth certificate or documentation, insurance card, immunization record from the hospital, and a list of any concerns or questions. We'll review feeding, sleeping, bowel movements, and development during this important first visit.
Do you accept my insurance?
▼We accept most major insurance plans including Florida Blue, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Humana, and Medicaid. Please call our office at (954) 799-4086 to verify your specific plan is accepted.
When should my newborn receive their first vaccinations?
▼Your newborn typically receives the Hepatitis B vaccine before leaving the hospital. The next round of vaccinations is at 2 months and includes DTaP, Hib, IPV, PCV13, and Rotavirus. We'll provide a complete vaccination schedule and answer all your questions during your first visit.
How do I know if my child needs to be seen for a fever?
▼Call us immediately if your child is under 3 months with any fever over 100.4°F. For older children, seek care if the fever persists beyond 3 days, exceeds 104°F, or is accompanied by severe symptoms like difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, rash, or extreme lethargy.
Do you offer telehealth or virtual visits?
▼Yes, we offer telehealth appointments for non-emergency concerns such as follow-up visits, minor illnesses, behavioral questions, medication management, and general parenting advice. Call our office to schedule a convenient virtual visit.
What makes your practice stand out from other pediatricians?
▼We offer personalized care with minimal wait times, same-day sick appointments, evening hours for working parents, a bilingual English-Spanish staff, direct access to our physicians, and a warm child-friendly environment. Our 5-star Google reviews reflect our commitment to exceptional pediatric care.
How often will I bring my newborn in for check-ups?
▼Your newborn will have frequent visits in the first year: at 3-5 days after birth, then at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months. These visits monitor weight gain, growth, development milestones, and ensure your baby receives timely vaccinations.

▼For after-hours medical concerns, call our main office number at (954) 799-4086 and you'll be connected with our answering service who will page our on-call pediatrician. For life-threatening emergencies, always call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
