"Dr. Cora Cerdena is truly an exceptional pediatrician. She cared for me when I was a child, and now she cares for my own children. Being able to continue with the same pediatrician across generations is incredibly special, and it speaks volumes about the trust and confidence our family has in her.

Dr. Cerdena is compassionate, patient, knowledgeable, and always takes the time to listen to our concerns. She explains everything thoroughly, never makes us feel rushed, and always ensures my children feel comfortable and cared for during every visit.

It is clear that she genuinely loves what she does and is deeply committed to the health and well-being of every child she treats. We are so grateful for the exceptional care she has provided our family over the years. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Cora M. Cerdena to any parent looking for a pediatrician who is not only highly skilled but also kind, caring, and truly dedicated to her patients."

"I do not recommend this pediatrician.

We took our son to her four times, and every visit was disappointing. She forgot his vaccine at three consecutive appointments, and I had to insist that he receive a vaccine that is part of the CDC’s recommended schedule.

She also seemed unprepared at every visit—she repeatedly called my son “she,” asked how old he was, and didn’t appear to review his chart beforehand.

At his 4-month visit, she recommended starting rice cereal and suggested switching from breastfeeding to formula because “it’s easier,” which did not align with current pediatric recommendations.

After four visits, we switched doctors, and I’m very glad we did. I would not recommend her."
