Parent-nominated as one of Chicago's Favorite Kids Docs!
By Denise Massaro on Thursday, June 23, 2011
My kids, husband & I just LOVE Dr. Maria. Even my mother, who used to go along with us when they were babies for their monthly visits, RAVES about her! She is so friendly with the kids & she always takes her time with us. I like the fact that we don't feel like "patients" either. We feel more like family. She knows & remembers them from when they were born. This can be hard to find nowadays when doctors just need to see as many patients as they can in day & don't remember you. The nurses & doctors are quick to call back and are so loving and helpful. My kids have NEVER cried when they were told they had to go see her. They LOVE the lollipop and the end. The HUGE model train track in the lobby helps too. Dr. Maria is easy to talk to & she "tells it like it is". I LOVE THAT! Kudos to Dr. Maria & the Park Ridge Pediatric staff!!!!!!!!!!!!!
