Google Reviews Of Our Pediatric Clinic

We drove all the way from Baton Rouge to see Dr. Pouw and it was absolutely worth the trip. He and the staff are so kind. He went through every single lab value, x rays, and took time to explain and discuss everything we were concerned about. This was such a refreshing, wonderful experience and we are so grateful. 10/10, highly recommend.
I love Dr. Kathy, & more importantly, my son loves her! She's great with babies. Professional. & she actually listens to your concerns. Sooo glad I found her! & so glad her office is 5 mins from my home in p.r. lol
Childrens international is an amazing pediatrics for our family and they can always help in every question or concern you may have. Trustworthy and helpful. I won’t go anywhere else. My children now grandchildren
I love Dr. Maraia and the staff
If you’re looking for an awesome pediatrician for your little ones, Dr. Maraia is the one to pick!!!! She was so patient and kind to my kids and I. We didn’t feel rushed when we asked questions or brushed off when mentioning a concern! Even my 5 year old had to say “she’s super sweet”.
Also, I can’t forget how great the front office nurse Kaitlyn was too!!! Handled my kids promptly and with care!!!!
Overall, a great experience!!!! Thankful I found this clinic.
My son loves his doctor. His staff is Amazing at what they do!! The Ladies really care for their patience needs. Their so funny. They make the visit fun rather than boring. Doc. Powell should be a Comedian for sure. Best doctors office for kids that I've dealt with in my 25 yrs of being a mother. I was more then thankful and pleased with their services and care for my son!!
God bless you all 💜
dr. Maraia and everyone there it’s awesome and very friendly.
