Parent Testimonials

This pediatric office is absolutely amazing. All front desk staff are always very kind and helpful. Whenever I’ve called for a sick visit or anything I’ve received respect over the phone. We’ve seen just about every doctor there for sick visits and they are all absolutely amazing, except for one. But our primary doctor, Dr. Glanz is absolutely amazing. She is down to earth, realistic and for first time parents she doesn’t make you feel like any question is dumb. We can’t recommend doctor Glanz enough

DR. Rok, and his nurse May (I think that was her name) are top notch. My son developed partial facial paralysis out of nowhere. They got him right in, ran tests, prescribed meds and have checked in on us several times to see how he is doing. Outstanding care! My kids have been coming to this office for 19+ years now and absolutely no complaints. My son is now on the mend and I couldn't be more grateful for this team!

Cierra P

The doctors are all nice and respectful never rush you. Answer all questions you may have. The Waite times can be long. It's not all the time but it happens. When calling for appointments you can be on hold for 15 min to 45min. They take care of my daughter and go above and beyond in some situations. So I'll take the long Waite times if it means my daughter will get the care she needs.

Nichole B

All the staff there are so lovely and helpful, I had such a hard time finding a formula that worked well for my daughter, and Dr.Costa was able to work with us on finding one, I couldn’t have asked for a better team!!

Kenzie B

I absolutely love their patient portal. It is so easy and convenient there have been multiple occasions where I have had to message the staff in regard to a sick child instead of bringing them into the office for something such as a doctors note or a prescription for Tylenol is so practical . This portal is the best tool for Parenting

Pediatric Associates in Fall River (located right behind St. Anne's Hospital) is a fantastic facility. Choosing this practice 15 years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made; my child has received the absolute best care ever since. The entire staff is wonderful. Dr. Staci Resnick and the other physicians are incredible, but what really sets them apart is their psychiatry department. Dr. Muriel Carle is amazing with children—you can tell just by the way she speaks with them that she truly cares. It immediately puts you at ease as a parent. If you're looking for a dedicated and compassionate pediatric team, I can't recommend them enough.
