Melissa A. Dianovksy's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Dianovsky was unprofessional, rude and arrogant. Her bedside manner is absolutely awful. She scolded me for "showing up to the office without an appointment" when this was far from what happened. She brought me to tears and I actually left her office and refused to have her exam my newborn while my newborn was working harder than normal to breathe. She didn't show any empathy, and wanted to "teach me a lesson" for not taking my daughter to the ER but rather wanting to have the Pediatrician listen to my daughter's lungs before making the call to take her to the ER. Dr. Dianovsky belittled me, humiliated me on 2 different dates in office and I refuse to see her again. It's a shame she's at this practice, as the other Physicians are absolutely amazing human beings and caregivers.

Poor bedside manner. Son went in for an ear infection it was our first time seeing her even though we were with the practice for years. Prescribed a medicine that was 300 since insurance didn't cover I called to discuss she told me that she would change this time but if I couldn't afford the new one she couldn't help me any further. Pharmacist informed me she prescribed the exact same medicine however different supplier. Seems incentive based prescribing on her part. She's very rude and snobby

Dr. Dianovsky is the best pediatrician we have ever had. My girls are 14 & 17, & we have gone to Dr. D. since my oldest was born. We have had a good experience with all of the doctors in Dr. D's practice. Dr. D is always extra cautious when it comes to examining and ordering tests. Her bedside manner is the best. She is very down-to-earth and always makes sure to answer all of our questions. Anyone who sees Dr. D. is going to be delighted!!

We love Dr. Dianovsky! We first met her when our daughter was three days old. Even though we weren't scheduled to come in for another couple of days, we were concerned because our daughter was crying all the time, so the doctor told us to bring her in right away. It turns out that even though the lactation consultant at the hospital kept reassuring us that everything was fine, Dr. Dianovsky correctly ascertained that our daughter wasn't getting enough to eat. Her recommendation of supplementing the breastfeeding with small amounts of formula helped our daughter to start putting on weight, stop crying, and become the happy and healthy little girl she is today. Dr. Dianovsky always takes seriously any concern that we have (and as new parents, we called her office once or twice a week for the first month of our daughter's life!), and we trust her completely. Our daughter loves her, too! We are so glad that found her and the rest of the doctors at Pediatric Associates!

When I was pregnant with our first baby I decided to interview a few doctors. We wanted to make sure we chose the right Dr., not just for our son, but for our whole family too. A good friend of ours referred us to Dr. Melissa Dianovsky, because she is taking care of our friend’s children for over 19 years. I made an appointment and my husband and me went with a little questioner to question her. The first question I asked, “Why did you decided to be a Pediatrician Doctor?” She said-“Because I really love children and I am glad to help them.” We felt that she answered the question very sincere. It made us realize at that moment, that we were making the right choice in choosing her as our baby’s doctor. When I had the baby she was on vacation, so a few doctors saw him at the hospital, but none of them checked him the way Dr. Dianovsky did after she came back from her vacation. When we had our first consultation with her, 3 days after he was born. She turned off the lights and checked his eyes, ears and then checked him from top to bottom how I never seem a Dr. do so. At that moment I thanked God we chose her, because I do believe she loves what she does. Also, she saw that was something wrong with the baby’s vision when he was about 4 months old. She told us to go see an eye doctor specialist for kids. When we took him to the eye doctor, the doctor was amazed how good of a doctor Dr. Dianovsky is for seen that was something wrong with the baby’s eyes so early on. The eye Doctor said that even for an eye doctor is hard to see that specific issue so early. Dr. Dianovsky is very loving, caring and clearly loves what she does, which is taking care of children. We love her and highly recommend her services.

We love Dr. Dianovsky. We switched pediatricians when our girls got older because we thought they would be more comfortable with a female pediatrician and we were right! Our girls feel like they can talk to her and trust her judgment. When one of our daughters was rushed to an emergency room in another town, we still called Dr. Dianovsky for her opinion and she was so helpful and calming. She then proceeded to check up on her several times to make sure all was well. We can always get a sick appointment the day we call. This is an excellent pediatrician and an excellent practice!

My wife took our son to Dr. Dianovsky after 3 days of not improving fever and flu like symptoms. We suspected pneumonia since my son was also complaining on the painful sensation at the right side of his chest and severe cough. Even though the symptoms showed the clear possibility of pneumonia my wife had to ask Dr Dianovsky to send our son to chest X-Ray. Dr. Dianovsky couldn't clearly diagnose pneumonia and prescribed cefdinir. After 5 days of taking this drug and not improving we took our son back to Dr Dianovsky but she refused to change the drug and told us to continue taking cefdinir even though it clearly wasn't helping. We did a blood test and according to doctor it was normal. She said it was a viral infection. My son was getting worse every day and we decide to take him to ER of Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago. They made X-Ray again, blood test and sputum test. They diagnosed a progressing pneumonia. X-Ray showed a build up of fluid in his right lung.

We have had excellent experiences with Dr. Dianovsky. She knows my children very well and she takes the time to listen to their concerns and answers their questions. She is compassionate and empathetic. We have been seeing her for 15 years. It will be a difficult transition for my children when they need to find an 'adult' doctor as I have yet to find any myself who are as good as Dr. Dianovsky. Thanks, Doc!
