DONT GO TO THIS DOCTOR.She completey missed that my 3 yr old daughter had pneumonia and kept saying that she had bronchitis. If i didnt go to the hospital i wouldnt have found out my daughter had pneumonia.I would have still been giving her the "medicine" that was to suppose to help her.NEVER AGAIN

As A mother of 3 young kids it is a great relief to find such a caring pediatrician. I found Dr Araya to be a very caring and knowlegeable doctor. she is very good with the kids, she puts them at ease. my kids love her.The staff are accomodating, i usually get the same day appointment for sick visit( maximum wait time to get sick appt is less than 36 hrs.) so for anyone who is looking for a good pediatrician, I strongly recommend her.
