Like people mention, the waiting is long, but that is only because he gives EVERYONE the full attention they deserve once you are with him. You WILL NOT feel rushed and he will make you feel like a good parent. My kids LOVE HIM TO PIECES! Very down to earth, funny and very knowledgeable. I am so thankful. I will not change him ever, even though I am 40 minutes away.

He is the best doctor ever. I met him 2 years ago my older child was sick and when he knew that I just delivered my second chid 4 days ago and both kids don't have a pediatrician he offered me to be there one. Since than my live changed because when those kids are sick I know that I can trust someone to help. Yes he is always late and the waiting time is looooooooong but It worth it.

Dr.Dacosta. I dont even know where to begin. He is the most amazing man ever. He's been my dr since I was born. He helped me not only when I was sick, but when tough times were upon me he was there when I just needed someone to listen. Every doctor should be like Dr. Dacosta. Im 20 years old now but that doesnt stop me from seeing him. I will wait in the ER at st-mary's for hours just to be able have him help me. I don't trust any other DR. When I needed surgery I only went to the surgeon Dr. Dacosta referred me too. Overall, he is simply awesome. When I have kids, I will definitely try my hardest to get them in with dr.d. I dont care if I have to wait hours for him, ill wait.

Dr. Da Costa really is the best doctor ever! My parents brought me to him ever since I was born as well as my 2 younger brothers but now that I'm 19 I feel so disappointed in my search of finding a new doctor. The other doctors I've encountered have not been as helpful as Dr. Da Costa and soo much more in a rush! Oh how I miss him!

The wait is always LONG and he is usually late to start...however, that being said, you do not feel rushed when he is with you - AND he is the sweetest Dr I know and really loves children...and VERY knowledgeable.

Dr. Dacosta is THE best pediatrician. No other can begin to compare. With 4 grown kids, I have seen many doctors and he is by far at the top of the list. Yes the waiting is long, but worth it, because it's true that when it's finally your turn, you get his undivided attention, his good-humour and his expertise. On 2 occasions I had a serious concern and got the same treatment on the phone. Too few doctors like him. Wish he could be cloned! Thank you, Dr. D.!

Yes it's true that the waiting is extremely long.I would easily say hours but once you are in with Dr.Dacosta,you forget all about the waiting. He is just a wonderful,warm, patient human being and every pediatrician should be a Dr. Dacosta!! My kids are older now and lucky for us we really never had any major crises but they still talk about him and they loved him.In case my rate is not exellent, it has nothing to do with Dr Dacosta, I simply don't like Tiny Tots clinic. Dr.Dacosta is way to good to be practicing in this clinic.
