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!

Frequently Asked Parent Questions
Frequently Asked Parent Questions
How accurate are rapid strep tests?
▼Rapid strep tests are about 85-95% accurate. Our Hollywood pediatricians may also send a throat culture to the lab if the rapid test is negative but symptoms strongly suggest strep. Culture results take 24-48 hours but are very accurate.
What should I bring to my child's first appointment?
▼Please bring your child's insurance card, any previous medical records, immunization history, a list of current medications, and a photo ID. If your child is a newborn, bring hospital discharge papers and birth records as well.
How far do families typically travel to see you?
▼While we're conveniently located at 3829 Hollywood Blvd in Hollywood, FL, families come to us from surrounding areas including Pembroke Pines, Hallandale Beach, Davie, Miramar, Aventura, and Fort Lauderdale. Our central South Florida location makes us easily accessible.
What vaccinations do you provide?
▼We provide all CDC-recommended childhood vaccinations including MMR, DTaP, polio, hepatitis, HPV, meningococcal, flu shots, and COVID-19 vaccines. We follow the recommended immunization schedule to keep your child protected and healthy.
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.

▼Well-child visits are recommended frequently in the first 2 years: at 3-5 days, 1 month, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, and 24 months. After age 2, annual check-ups are recommended to monitor growth, development, and ensure vaccinations stay current.
What is your cancellation policy?
