Dr. Etihad Shakir Al-Falahi, MD

If you are looking for a WONDERFUL pediatrician that truly cares about your child/children, look no further! Dr. A is hands down the best around! She goes above and beyond and her office staff is also great!

Always available. Wonderful demeanor for treating children. Spends the time necessary to provide excellent medical service and always provides necessary explaination.

She's always been great to my children and myself! I wouldn't trust any other Dr with the care of my children! She's awesome!!!!!

On the whole we really like Dr. A. Weve been with her for several years. She obviously loves kids. Since this is a solo practice, they actually know who we are when we come in. I have never had trouble getting in even for a same-day visit. Last time one of our kids got sick, we called about 2 pm and still got in that day. (Last apt is generally 4 pm.) They'll even call a few days after we come in with a sick kiddo just to make sure things are improving. My one complaint is that although she claimed to be nursing friendly when we initially interviewed her, she is not even remotely close to supportive in that area. Her solution to my second babys early weight gain issues was supplementation with formula. She didnt seem to grasp that what we needed (and what I did in spite of her recommendation) was to seek out lactation support to correct the issues that we were having. There were a couple of occasions where she made some underhanded comments about how I shouldnt be one of those moms who… would rather starve my baby than give formula. Had I listened to her, Im confident my baby would not have been nursing at 3 months let alone continuing to do so past the first birthday. All in all, as long as you arm yourself with correct information about breastfeeding and know where to get actual assistance in that area, shes a great resource for general child care and illness treatment.

There is no other doctor in the world I would entrust the care of my children to, than Dr. Alfalahi! She is SUPERB!! I would recommend her to ANYONE and have referred my friends to her when seeking a pediatrician. Her bedside manner is impecable! She really understands what the parents need and how best to serve her patients! I LOVE HER!! My kids are ALWAYS excited to see her!! :)

Have three children. She gives personal attention to each of them. Adolescents are asked questions directly. She really knows each of my children's medical history. Very warm and caring. Very professional. Staff is wonderful.

My child has been seeing Dr. Al-falahi since she was born and she is wonderful!
