I had to bring my son in-for a sick visit.. I called the office and they gave me an appointment for the time I was looking for. They follow COVID protocols and the office was very clean. Dr. Baranwal took her time to explain everything and wrote out appropriate prescription. She is very patient not only with me but my 10 year old as well. She listens and understands the concerns and gives a thorough diagnosis. My kids are lucky to have her as their pediatrician Their office is open on Saturday’s as well so I don’t have to rush to the emergency room if my child gets sick. The staff is friendly and caring and always have a smile on their face when you walk in. If you’re looking for a new doctor in the area this is where you need to go.

Dr Baranwal and her staff are all amazing! Dr. Baranwal and her clinical staff calls you at home to check up on your child. They truly care about their patients and work hard to make both children and parents feel comfortable. She has been taking care of my kids for 10 years, and not once have I had any issues with them.

Horrible experience Dr. Baranwal was my daughter's doctor for two years at the lowell community center. Last year my child became very Ill. Very Ill at least 3 weeks. My child was sent back and forth to the ER and no one could diagnosed my child.. My child had develop a rash and still the answer I got from Dr. Baranwal was"I don't know she wasn't sure if it was measles or just didn't know? She had a mask on and laughing with her medical assistant and asking the medical assistant if she thought it was the measles. Finally, I had enough of watching my daughter suffering. I was so upset that, I told Dr. Baranwal to please give her antibiotics because is been 3 weeks and my child wasn't getting any better. She finally did. My child began getting sick more frequent when she started first grade. This affected my child attendance Everytime I ask the Doctor her response always the same,"I don't know"never suggested anything. Now she acts like she don't remember this occur. Unprofessional
