Anita R. Juvvadi, M.D – Pediatrician

Argh. Don’t go to her if you want peace of mind about your child’s well being. I just happened to pick her while I was in labor based on Unilocal reviews. I really wish I hadnt gone to her. She and her assistant Dr. Diana Prasad are both terrible.

Dr. Juvvadi was my first choice for daughter’s ped, and luckily we managed get her to see my daughter. She is great in terms of guiding, tansitions, very patient listener and not always asking to just come in for small things.
We are very happy with her and also recommend to all our friends :)

This is not a review of the doctor’s work, but of the front desk service. I called to ask if the office is accepting newborn patients and was greeted with a brisk and tired, «Doctor’s office. Can you hold?»
No greeting. No friendliness. I was on hold for 4 minutes to find out that Dr. Juvvadi is not accepting new patients right now. By then, I didn’t want to deal with this office anymore anyway. A new phone script is direly needed here: «Hello. This is Dr. Juvvadi’s practice. May I put you on hold?» and just a bit more friendliness shouldn’t be too much to expect.

Dr Juvadi has been my son’s doctor since he was born. She generally doesn’t have opening to accommodate new patients but is nice enough to do so on current patient’s referrals. We were referred by one of our friends and i have referred few myself now.
She is a very warm, patient and knowledgeable doctor. She always tried to avoid hard antibiotics as much as she can which is something i love about her. She is also very knowledgeable about old tried and tested ways of caring for young infants and toddlers. She is great with kids, gets them at ease during the appointments very quickly which is marvelous.
Her support staff is phenomenon too. The lady at the reception– i think Mimi and the Asian nurse are equally competent and warm. Lots of time Mimi does half the job of the doctor by diagnosing and providing good suggestions on the first call itself to take care of things immediately.
Kids get small toys after some appointments and injection sessions which keeps them happy and helps parents taking them to the doctor’s place for the next appointment easier. The after care on call nurses are prompt and efficient too. I think we have to pay for that service though.
Thumps up for the team!

Dr Juvvadi. our two kids are going to see her from past 6 years. She is really awesome and staff also great. And she will respond for emails on weekend which most doctors do not like it. She is very professional and smile face.
My kids love her.

she is great doctor as well as nice lady… really happy to hav her as my baby girl’s doctor

We loooove Dr Juvaadi! She truly cares for children and is so knowledgeable. We live in Newark and even though we are 30 – 45 minutes away, I found her thru reviews on Unilocal and Unilocalers did not fail. When she visited us at the hospital when I delivered, she recommended a doctor in our area so that we would have a pediatrician closer to home but I just felt in my gut that she was the right pediatrician for us. Our newborn was admitted to the nicu the day we were supposed to be discharged and since the Dr we were referred to in our area was off, Dr Juvaadi was happy to see our baby the day after he was discharged from nicu even though she knew we were going to see the dr she referred moving forward and the fact her practice was closed to new patients at that time. Our newborn had a false positive on the ca screening thyroid test but was retested in the nicu and all was normal. Now our baby is almost three weeks old and I received a phone call from Dr Juvaadi to make sure the new doc retested for thyroid and to make sure our baby was ok. That in itself validated my decision to stick with Dr Juvaadi as our pediatrician because she truly does care. Thanks Dr Juvaadi!

Dr Juvvadi and the 2 nurses working with her are awesome!
We are so, so, so happy to have found her (thanks to Unilocal and the great reviews she had).
She is the «best pediatrician on the block» :-p
They are very professional and friendly; they seem to enjoy what they are doing and they love babies and kids! So that’s why they are forming such a great team!
They take time to explain you many things on health, baby growth, stages, nursing etc., both Dr and nurses always give great tips. They are experienced and very understanding too towards parents.
After hours, you can always reach a nurse on the phone that will help /​guide you if you have any problem.
Our newborn had her first cold and we received great directions from the nurses and Dr.

My girls have been under Dr. Juvvadi’s care for last 3 years. I consider myself to be fortunate that she is my kids’ pediatrician. She provides superior care to her patients. I respect her so much and believe that it was God’s plan for her to be a doctor. I say so because she puts patient care over everything else. She is a role model to what every doctor should be!

She has been our kids pediatrician for past 9 years. She is very patient with kids and is very knowledgeable and takes very good care. The front desk team at her office are also very helpful and give personal attention to each individual and gives immediate appointment if the kid is sick. Would highly recommend her.

After being with Dr. Juvvadi for the past 5 years (with both of my children) I can say that I would find it hard to find a better pediatrician. My kids * love * her, she is incredibly knowledgeable, kind, gentle and you can plainly see that she truly cares about her patients. I felt compelled just now to find her on Unilocal and write this review after yet another email exchange with her (there have been many) with some very good advice on addressing a rash –to which I must add that her email response time on email is amazingly fast!
I would imagine the only reason she doesn’t have dozens of five-​star reviews here is that I she doesn’t ask for them. Letting others know about her is the least I could in exchange for her help and support she has given over the years.

We’ve been with Dr. Juvvadi for over 4 years now (since my youngest son was a newborn). She’s wonderful! As a mother, she’s warm and knowledgeable. Dr. Juvvadi is fully able to commiserate the challenges of parenting with a empathetic ear. For anyone who’s ever encountered a 2am CROUP trip to the ER and had the misfortune of experiencing a 3^rd year resident with no kids of his own, well, you know Dr. Juvvadi’s experience is worth it’s weight in gold :0) She will patiently listen to your concerns, and is not quick to mandate down a diagnosis without due diligence. Dr. Juvvadi’s has called on weekends just to see how our child was progressing, and gone above and beyond on many occasions. Her dedication to patients and parents is wonderful, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a pediatrician.

awesome plus ear piercings at 9 month appts!

A very gentle and knowledgeable pediatrician. We love her!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Juvvadi. She has been our pediatrician since our daughter was born.
What I like about her:
She has good advice for alternative medicine if you’re interested (i.e. vitamins, homeopathics, etc).
Our daughter has had some occasional problems with asthma and she’s had great advice on the medication, preventative medication, etc.
She is *very* responsive to email. This is much appreciated for questions you may have about your child’s illness after hours (no after hour fee, etc.)
She has great advice on breastfeeding
She has great referrals – she referred us to an excellent dentist right around the corner.
I actually travel all the way up to Los Gatos to see her. Originally, we were just going to use her for the initial pediatrician visit in the hospital when our daughter was born, but we liked her so much we always used her.
She comes with my very, very highest recommendation.
