Maria "Alice" Alino's Online Review Report Card

Excellent doctor with a good location

Dr. Alino has been fabulous. She is patient, friendly, and most of all I feel comfortable with her and my kids' health. Wait times can be extended but overall it is worth it.

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Alino’s for a year now. (She has seen different practitioners in the office as well; we love them all). Dr. Alino has a great bedside manner, she’s always kind and very helpful. I love how knowledgeable she is, and how thorough her entire office is. The front office staff and all of her LVN’s are wonderful! All very kind and sweet. You feel welcomed by everyone as soon as you enter the office. I’m thankful we found this office!

These reviews are embellished and sensationalised, which is just plain childish. Dr. Alino is a good doctor and the office runs smoothly. I have NEVER waited longer than 15 minutes, even on a busy day and that is rare. The staff is friendly...they don’t wear clown suits and attack you with bubbly antics out of desperation for a laugh though, so I can see how that might put some people off. They administer injections properly, the ‘whole’ needle, by standard, is less than an inch and very thin, but has to go all the way in to distribute the meds throughout the muscle tissue, otherwise they’re just poking your baby for no reason. And it is perfectly normal to bruise after getting and injection. Seriously...your child depends on you to be rational. They can handle a little bruise. Dr. Alino herself is very friendly and is typical as far as doctors come. She could improve by taking complaints and symptoms more seriously and putting more time and attention on the patient for better accuracy sometimes. Not all the time, just some. But she’s not terrible. She DOES care about her patients. She is, in fact, intelligent (please proofread your own spelling and grammar before sending, if you plan to belittle a professional and accuse them of lacking intelligence, good gawd!).Dr. Alino is also better suited for younger children as they are the ones who need mom to speak for them. The older and more aware of their own bodies children become, the more they benefit from being listened to, but Dr. Alino is not in the practice of listening to the older kids describe their needs and concerns, which was annoying to my kids. As with all pediatricians, when you enter their office, turn your ‘Vigilance Receptors’ on high. Then observe, question, take notes; expect thorough tentative care, and speak up if you don’t get it. Our children aren’t supposed to be cured simply by walking into the doctor’s office, we are all supposed to work together to keep our children healthy. Moms are moms 100% of the time.Btw, it’s not helpful, to throw temper tantrums in reviews just because you weren’t pampered the way you like and it’s pompous, irrational and unintelligent to assume you know how someone else feels or why they do anything. Smh

Dra who has all mi respeto...

Really awesome

My 1 year old daughter had two appointments in the past two weeks for immunizations.On both occasions the nurses stuck the whole needle into her legs and pushed down so hard she had bruising. I called the office about this, and the nurse who answered just said "...okaaay?.."Take this information for what it is, if you kids need shots, not the place to go!

This is a little annoying. You're supposed to be a pediatrician that listens and cares. I made an appointment with you because I was afraid my daughter had a yeast infection. You looked at her less than 4 seconds and said she was fine. Her hoohaw is red and everytime I've wiped, yeast as came back for the last two days. I get you're busy with walk-ins but this was an appointment I made with you. I had questions about vaccines since my daughter has the mthfr mutation and can not detox the metal preservatives. It's not my fault that you think you're intelligent enough to just look and say she's normal. You should of tested her. Swab the outside of the vagina and test it. This is ridiculous, Alino. Please, don't worry, I'll let all my mommy friends know you don't care about kids, you only care about the money. Greed. They only care about the money they are making.

Good doctor, never felt bad before, during, or after a visit. Been coming for over 5 years now. My kids love her!

Buenisima dra...accepts medicad and wait not too long
