We love Dr. Modi! I have a 4 year old daughter and 2 year old son. After our last Dr. moved to WA I did a lot of research and wanted someone understanding, efficient, and with same day appointments. Let me tell you Dr. Modi is that and more. Just in the last two years, the staff has taken it up a notch with excellent communication and building a friendly environment. My kids never mind having to visit the doctor and always look forward to stickers on the way out.

  I'm writing this in the waiting room it's 12:19 and my appointment was at 11:15. The wait time runs a little long even though I bring my kid in before her appointment time every time. I wouldn't like to come in for an appointment if I had somewhere to be right after. They have toys in the open area which is nice and they're always getting new toys. The nurse that runs vitals and stuff is alway super nice. The doctor only comes in for like 2 minutes if not less but my daughter has gotten all her shots here so they get the job done. (Ps that sweet nurse I was talking about earlier is the one who gives all the shots) -Alice B's mom

  After our twins were born, my fiancee and I decided to go with Dr. Modi because she  was present during their birth. We figured she would be the best bet for them since she had been there since day 1. On her very first visit into our hospital room she literally coughed on both of our hours old girls. Didn't cover her mouth or even apologize. That should have been enough for us to decide to go with another doc but i gave her the benefit of the doubt; told myself it was an accident. On our first visit to her office we had made an appointment for 11 am. There was 1 other family in the office. It took 1 hour to be seen and this trend continued sometimes waiting even longer. If you make an appointment be prepared to wait AT LEAST 1 hour. So we finally see her and guess what? shes coughing up a lung again as she's hovering over our girls. she gives them a once over and sends us on our way. That's another thing; every visit felt rushed. she barely handled the girls and any of our concerns seemed to be brushed off. for example, we noticed both of our girls heads were lopsided/flat and her initial response was "oh that's normal, just give them more tummy time" not even taking into consideration or even informing us that twins, especially preemies like one of ours was; are susceptible to a form of skull misalignment called palgiocephaly.

   If she had taken the time to at least inform us that they possibly could have that, we would have taken them straight to a specialist a lot sooner. now, 5 months in it turns out both our girls have that (1 severely) and will need special helmets to help readjust their little skulls. Our other girl was constantly spitting up. Modis response "oh that's normal too" she gave us a prescription for a special formula. That's it. no tips on what to do to calm her spitting up, no advice. just a prescription and sent us on our way. Now being a Dr you would assume she would mention any special handling or instructions that go along with this new formula. She didn't. We only found out later by another Dr that indeed that formula is to be set for 5 mins before feeding and he gave us advice on how to help her to keep spitting up (interrupt feeding every 2 mins and burp). Now you may be asking yourself " why didn't you look this stuff up yourself?" we did but one would assume our girls physician, the one to guide us and help with their well being would be there and give us all the information and advice we requested and needed. She is incompetent. plain and simple. Looking through other reviews it appears other have had issues with her coughing, long wait times and sub par service.  She is a low grade Dr. She is board certified. I looked that up but she does not participate in the maintenance of her certification (MOC). This is directly from certificationsmatter.org: " Participating in maintenance of certification (MOC) means a doctor continues to meet the  requirements of his or her medical specialty board for ongoing learning or assessment. A doctor participating in MOC shows a commitment to life-long learning and self evaluation, and is engaged in measuring and improving his or her practice."

Bottom line, if you are not  ok with low grade medical work with no attention to detail and are also not ok with putting your child's health and well-being on the line, stay away from this practice. I hope this review helps you decide on finding the right and competent doctor for your child/children.
