I have been taking my boys to her for 4 years. Every time I go there I have to wait at least 2 hours. By the time my kids see her they are grumpy and crying and I am completely irritated. Luckily my kids are pretty healthy so she hasn't had to deal with major conditions. She rushes through the exam and the waiting time is ridiculous.

I've brought my son to a few well baby visits to Dr. Pascual an they have been so-so. She rushes when she is in the room with you. She goes over things quickly and doesn't explain why you should or should not do certain things. I am an informed mother and in the healthcare profession myself and find that her bedside manner is definitely lacking. As a first time parent, I expect a doctor to be more keen to answer questions. For example, when about my concerns about apple juice given the recent news about trace amounts of cyanide, she just replies "don't give them juice then!" like I offended her by asking her opinion about that when she was speaking about giving juice in a sippy cup instead of answering my questions about by concerns and whether it is safe. It almost seems like she gets offended when you know too much because she takes it as an attack on her expertise even though you are asking her opinion. Not going back. Going to find a new doctor who will answer questions willingly.

I love her. She always takes the time to call me personally if I have a question. My daughter had a lot of illnesses her first two years and the dr. was very caring and compassionate. I would and do recommend her to all my new-mommy friends.

This doctor is supposed to be a pediatrician, but she has no patience with kids. The nurse who helped us was very pushy and aggressive and even said,"we have a lot of patients, so let's do this today." Please think twice about coming to this doctor. She and her staff are very condescending and impatient. Quite a sad establishment.

After changing 3 pediatricians, finally I found Dr. Pascual for my two daughters. With two babies I am frequently visiting her office and have to take them on same day most of the times. Not once I have been turned down and have been given appointment right away. Dr. always spends time to listen to me and to my kids. Best of all, always checks her sample medicines before she writes prescription and I would reccomend this doctor to all new parents who want the best doctor for their babies. All the staff members are active and polite compared to last three doctors offices.

I've been taking my daughter to Dr Pascual for about 4 years now. I have very mixed emotions when it comes to this doctor and her office. She's very friendly most of the time, but I have seen an abrupt side of her as well. She's also not a "hands on" doctor like my last pediatrician who would do anything and everything. She's not very thorough at all with her examinations and is pretty quick to diagnose and send us on our way. For this reason, I am currently looking for a different doctor for my child. After all, we as parents want the best for our children and I just don't have the confidence in this office after 4 years. Time to move on.

I really like this Doctor. From the couple of times that I have been in with my 3 year old she has been friendly and efficient. I don't think that she seems at all rushed, and she has been fantastic with answering any questions or concerns that I may have (we recently moved here from another country so that has been very helpful!). The staff are also very helpful (and gracious with the tantrums!). I would recommend trying to get an appointment first thing in the morning though because as with all doctors the wait tends to build the later in the day it gets. I have always been able to get a next day appointment as well which is fantastic when you have a sick child.

I have been taking my sons to see her for about 4 years. She's a great doctor and my kids listen to her and try to follow her advice (they even remind me later on). She's the best pediatrician my sons have seen.
