Alejandra Ayestaran's Online Review Report Card

This lady makes you feel so welcomed and treats your children like angels

Great Doctor. Really great with kids and listens to concerns.

The doctor is great. The front desk staff not so much. They are rude and inconsiderate

She is a great physician! Very caring and knowledgeable. I just love that we can go in the same day when my children are sick and not have to go to urgent care or wait weeks before they can be seen by her. Staff in the front are not too friendly

Dr Ayestaran is the best! I love her and my children love her. She never fails to listen to me and never dismisses my concerns. She is always very nice. Kaci shepherd

She is a great doctor!! She was took care of all 4 of my kids for 4 years and was never disappointed! She listens to the parents concerns and I never felt like she didn't know what she doing! Thank you dr. Ayestran for always being so caring!!

Very poor experience with Dr. Ayesteran. Felt like she was negligible in diagnosing conditions for our children. She does not go the extra mile in understanding what is occurring. She wasn't able to treat simple conditions for our children making the conditions worse. Almost to the point of hospitalizing in several occasions for incorrect diagnostic in her practice. Would not recommend her for care of your children.

Best Dr for children I have seen in 12 years. She is very knowledgable and compasionate. Instead of using big medical terms Dr Aystaran explains things in terms that are easy to understand. She has always looked out to make sure the kids are heard and we are heard as well. Instead of forcing a medical choice on you she explains your options and lets you decide what you feel is right. If the kids are asked what is wrong or how do they feel she listens to them. Best in San Angelo hands down

I took my 18 month old daughter to a 9:50 am appointment, didn't get to see the doctor until 10:50 am (do you know how hard it is to keep a toddler entertained for an hour?). Dr. Ayestaran was patient when examining my sick/fussy child and called in two prescriptions. When i went to pick up the prescriptions around 1:00 pm, I was told that Dr. Ayestaran had written one of the prescriptions down incorrectly and they had a call into her to confirm the prescription. Now 5+ hours post appointment...still no word from Dr. Ayestaran and still have a very sick child. I called up to CMA Pediatrics to see if there was another doctor or nurse that could confirm the prescription and was told that only Dr. Ayestaran could confirm this information and she is only in until noon. We are now looking into other doctors that can return a phone call in less than 5 hours and make my child's health a priority.

My daughter was a patient of hers for a year. I really liked the office and the convenience of appointment scheduling. The only awkward thing is that when you get there to check in, you and your child have to stand in line after about 5 other people usually. The waiting room is nice and there is the coolest parrot fish in the aquarium that my daughter loved. The next part of your experience is awful though. Dr. Ayesterans nurse calls you back. I literally cringe thinking of this woman. She is blatantly rude and impatient and seems to hate children. She was rolling her eyes and getting mad at me on our first appointment because my daughter did not want to lay down on a hard wooden plank to measure her height. Then on another occasion, she patronized me for giving her a pacifier. My daughter grew to be afraid of this hateful woman. She came in once after my daughter had shots and was trying to give me after-care instructions, and I was like I can't hear you over her crying, may we have a minute? And her response was, I'm just going to have to come over here and stand really close to you so you can hear me. I was telling my daughter not to be scared and she said not to use that word in the office. When I asked why, she said because they do vaccinations there. Excuse me? You are not going to tell me how to speak to my child. I like to teach her words to express her emotions. She never smiles and is always in a bad mood. Dr. Ayesteran herself is very nice but has a heavy accent and is difficult to understand. The medical assistant that does vaccinations is very sweet and gets it done really fast but none of that was worth dealing with this hateful nurse who should have retired in 1985. I'm not taking any stars away because it is not the MDs fault, just be aware.
