everyone is very kind.

(Translated by Google) Excellent service and excellent doctors and assistants; everyone is very kind. I've had a very good experience with Dr. Ravi Raman, who has done a great job with my daughter's health and well-being over these three years, and he will definitely be the pediatrician for my next baby. (Original) Excelente servicio y excelentes médicos y asistentes todos son muy amables, he tenido una muy buena experiencia con el doctor Ravi Raman quien ha hecho un gran trabajo con la salud y bienestar de mi hija durante estos tres años y sin duda será el pediatra de mi próximo bebé

everyone is very friendly here.

I am new to this doctor’s office. My other kids all go somewhere else. I was skeptical at first because it’s very different from what I’m used to, but everyone is very friendly here and professional. I have not had one bad experience. I’m glad that I gave this place a try.

Heather was absolutely amazing with our son, showing so much care and patience.

We had a wonderful experience at this pediatric office in Port St. John! Heather was absolutely amazing with our son, showing so much care and patience. She explained everything thoroughly and answered all our questions. The office staff was equally fantastic—incredibly helpful and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Thank you for the utmost care!!

Kensi M.

Always satisfied with their kind treatment and experience.

Always a pleasure bringing my boys here. I thought my insurance wasn't covered anymore. However, happily pleased that was a mistake. My boys have gone here since birth. Ages 18, 17 and 11. They've seen the same doctors and also a couple that joined over the years. Always satisfied with their kind treatment and experience. I'd recommend to anyone who wants to take their kids here. Thank you for keeping my kids healthy! It's hard to say one doctor is better than the other. They are all equally great!! Dr. Ramon has seen my boys grow up. He cared for them at the hospital and with a genle touch. He will always and forever be in our hearts. Thank you!!

we have been treated so well.

The staff at the port St John office were so kind and welcoming. We've been here at tgis location for almost 5 years and we have been treated so well. 😊

always attentive, thorough, and incredibly kind.

My son saw Heather on Thursday, September 11. She is always attentive, thorough, and incredibly kind. Pediatricians must have these qualities when working with children, and Heather consistently goes above and beyond. My daughter has been coming to this office since birth—she is now 22 years old. We are so grateful to have had such an amazing pediatrician throughout all these years. We will always recommend to family and friends!

We were in and out for a yearly well check in less than 45 minutes.

Everyone we had contact with was very nice and professional. We were in and out for a yearly well check in less than 45 minutes.

We would definitely continue bringing them since their entire health history is there.

I want to write a positive review since we have been notified that you no longer accept our insurance. We've been taking our three boys here since they were born in 2007,2008 and 2014. We are so sad to have to find another pediatrician. Our two oldest are not little kids anymore. But, we would definitely continue bringing them since their entire health history is there. With sad goodbyes. Dr. Raman, Dr. Vargas and Dr. Heather. We appreciate all your care and we will miss you!! Thank you for keeping my boys healthy and the loving care you gave them. ❤️
