In and out quickly this visit and no wait, which is not always the case. Nurses are consistently outstanding, friendly and kind. Front desk staff can be hit or miss. Last time she was shouting about how the note in the system saidShow more the mom is always late. I had already checked in. I’m sure she was referring to me. Try being a single mom of 2, working all day in Gainesville and picking up both children to make a Woodbridge appointment on time. Waiting for your older son’s late school bus. Seems hypocritical to keep patients waiting for 30 minutes plus but not give them a 10 minute grace period.
This was our first visit with Grace and let me tell you, she was absolutely amazing. She was able to take my daughter in stride (she is a talker and is always “on”, so someone who makes her feel acknowledged and important is huge!Show more) and make her feel comfortable. Grace was very tuned into Hadleigh. She really took the time to talk to her about any concerns she had or if anything stuck out as important to her and I absolutely was impressed with her! 10/10 recommend!!

Amazing I can't complain
Amazing!! She took her time and was very commasionate
Lena was fantastic. She took a lot of time with us, helped to answer both mind and my daughter's questions, and she let us know about the GYN clinic. Will definitely request to see her again in the future - she put my mom heart at ease!
Overall outstanding environment, been going here for over 15 years!
Lena Garcia is awesome, she listened and answered all the questions we had. She also addressed any concern we had during the visit.
We love her! She is caring and understanding of children. She makes our kids feel at ease. She works with the parents and gives advice in the best interest of the child. Our kids love her!
Simply wonderful!
Ms. Huggins was knowledgeable, experienced, caring, communicative, and helpful. It was a pleasure meeting her!
Grace was friendly and very knowledgeable. She patiently answered all of our questions and she provided excellent customer service!
Very accommodating and thorough
He is super friendly with everyone, very patient with the children. I would love for him to attend me again with my daughter.
Dr. Schwartz has been AMAZING for supporting the physical and mental health of our daughters! ❤️
Dr. Huggins was wonderful during our visit. Although I knew she had a full schedule of patients, she was not in a hurry and I did not feel rushed in any way. She was thorough in her assessment, asked a lot of great questions, and helped me (as the mom!) feel at ease, while at the same time connecting with my son and engaging him in the process. At the end of the visit I felt great about outcome and next steps.
Mrs. Huggins was absolutely amazing! This was me and my 9year olds first time at Nova Pediatrics. she was very patient, engaging, and knowledgeable. She took the time to explain what she was doing, why it was important, and how it will help in the long run to my son. This kind or care and service is hard to find. Thank you Grace
Always attentive to my sons beed can't thank her enough
I’ve enjoyed bringing my son here. I wish I would have found them earlier on in his life but I’m glad we are here now. Everyone from the from beginning to end is incredible.
Great
Grace is a wonderful healthcare provider! We have had two visits so far for our first and are incredibly impressed by the robust support and offerings that NOVA Pediatrics provides. Staff at both locations have been friendly, informative, and welcoming. Looking forward to many more years of being with NOVA Pediatrics for our child's healthcare needs!
It's such a shame that Grace is leaving the practice. She's such a good Pediatrician.
Dr. Schwartz is very thorough and asked detail questions. I was very happy and satisfied with the quality care received. Despite the kids overactive behavior during the visit. She was able to complete the examination and suggested objective opinion and advice on how to improve their diet and how to take care of my child with responsibility and discipline.
We are never disappointed in the care we receive from the doctors, nurses and staff!
