  • "We started going to Dr Lavania when my son was born due to a recommendation as he intact and many doctors in the us do not know how to properly treat intact boys. She was recommended as someone who is knowledgeable in this area. I was very pleasantly surprised at her approach to that as well as care in general. We ended up switching our daughter to her practice as well and have been with them about 4.5 years. We love both the dr and the nurse practitioner there. We drive 30+ minutes to her just because we love this practice so much. Since we have started, they have expanded their office to much bigger than the original size. It’s clean and nicely decorated. Everyone is always friendly and we have never had to wait long at visits. I cannot recommend this practice enough!"
    Suzanne Smith
  • "Dr. Hiral is an exceptional pediatrician, and we feel fortunate to have chosen her as our daughter's doctor. Dr. Lavania and her staff are incredibly caring and professional. They take the time to address every concern and question we have, never making us feel rushed. We highly recommend Dr. Hiral to anyone seeking an excellent pediatrician!"
    Simran Handa
  • "One Family Pediatrics is amazing! My two daughters have been patients here since they were newborn (almost 5 years)! Not only is the office clean, and organized, but the staff and doctors are amazing, patient, and knowledgeable. Being an overprotective parent I can always put my trust in them. Thank you for all you do!"
    Heidi Walker
  • "We have been patients of Dr. Lavania for years. My children are now teenagers and she has always been wonderful with them, has called me back in a timely manner and when they are sick she fits them in that day. She has even called me back on the weekend when one of my boys was ill. We followed her from another practice and drive 30 minutes to get to her office."
    Fran Mitchell
  • "We met Dr. Lavania and her team by attending one of their parenting/newborn classes while I was pregnant. Dr. Lavania has consistently shown care for my daughter and her health for over 5 years and we are so thankful for her patience and prompt guidance!"
    Dominique UnKauf Lawton
  • "Dr. Lavania and her staff are the best! She has never made us feel rushed, respects your choices and answers every question we have even taking extra time with the kiddos so they understand too. You can email her any questions from the website portal and she will respond in a timely manner. Love her! The office is very neat & clean and nicely decorated with age appropriate artwork. The rooms have adorable hand painted scenes. The kids and I are so glad we choose this practice:)"

  • "Amazing office. Amazing staff."
    Yassie Bianca
  • "We have always been taken care of at every appointment. One of my children has had multiple visits in this past year and the clinic has always been able to see us the same day when an urgent sick visit was required."
    Ainsley H
  • "I can’t say enough good things about this office. I just had a visit and my son hates getting shots. At the previous pediatric Office he constantly cried after a shot. But the last two times he’s gotten a shot here. It has been a piece of cake. The front desk staff is amazing shout out to Linda, the nurses are absolutely stupendous and don’t get me started on Dr. Lavania. I actually look forward to bringing my son here. At the end of every visit they give the kids a token for the toy machine. Thank you for loving the kids as much as we do."
