Khuram Arif, MD

Requested Physician call us, he had the office staff call stating he (Dr. Arif ) had some information for us. If we would have wanted "information" we would have asked for it. If a parent wishes to speak to their childs pediatrician, then the pediatrician should show enough courtesy and take 5 minutes to call and communicate with them. This Physician and his staff evidentally dont realize they "work" for their patients. We have been taking our child to Dr. Arif for 2 years, he will not go back there.

I had a difficult time finding a good pediatrician. Once I met with Dr. Arif, I knew I had found the right one. All four of my children see Dr. Arif and have been for the last 6 years. My family and I travel over an hour one way just to continue with Dr. Arif. He is caring, professional, and always asks about my other kids (if they are not all with me). He is the best pediatrician around and I would highly recommend him to anyone that has children.

I never feel like Dr. Arif is in a rush. He always takes the time to answer questions, clarify, and explain his recommendations. I have not felt pressured to do anything. He is very patient with my kids, whether they are talkative or scared, and his office (unlike the other Mercy Elk Grove office) is generally efficient and friendly.
