Our experience with Dr. Mirandas office was the single worst medical experience Ive had in 33 years. We were assigned Dr. Miranda as a PCP by our HMO. I called a couple of weeks ago to make an appointment for our 2 year olds physical. Due to extenuating circumstances (including all four of my children contracting whooping cough), we missed her Friday afternoon appointment. This is not something we have ever done before (missing an appointment). I called first thing Monday morning to apologize and reschedule, but was told that my daughter would not be seen as a patient any longer because she had missed the appointment. I then let the office know my other children needed to be tested for whopping cough and was told that Dr. Miranda would not see any of my children ever because we missed that initial appointment. Not only was I not advised of this policy when I scheduled the appointment, I did not receive a reminder call about the appointment prior to Friday (which would have helped me in the midst of all of the whooping cough hysteria), Ultimately, my children (who later tested positive for whooping cough) had to wait several days to receive medical care while we went through the red tape of having our insurance change our PCP. Furthermore, the callous indifference with which they treated us was truly shocking. I was aware at the inconvenience of a missed appointment and apologized profusely, assuring them that this was totally uncharacteristic behavior and would never be an issue in the future. But we were not even given the courtesy of his consideration, even after our health insurance company attempted mediation on our behalf. Ultimately, I am thankful we do not have Dr. Miranda as a doctor because I can only imagine the manner in which he treats his patients. I cannot emphasize enough our disgust and disappointment for this doctor, office and entire experience and have no problem writing this review (which incidentally, is the first negative review I have ever written for an individual or business). I would unequivocally advise anyone looking to obtain his services to reconsider. Good luck!

I thought I had great care at this office, especially since I was on medi-cal and good care on this side of town can be hard to find. It wasnt until we had better insurance and "moved up" that I found out that the care was not so great. I have three kids who attended the office since birth,including twins that left this practice when they were 2 and a half and an older son . All three had all their regularly scheduled routine visits on time.Turns out my daughters urethral opening (her pee-pee) was nearly sealed shut (a condition checked for routinely and easily treated with cream, at birth, six months, and twelve months!) I know she was "checked down there" at many visits and this was missed???? My son (her twin) has since been diagnosed with sensory issues and developmental issues and is in special education now. he had failed to lift his head by 6 months and I was told by the Physicians assistant that he would outgrow it within a few months and it was just because he was cramped at birth, since he was a twin. He later rolled over very late, sat up very late, babbled late,crawled and walked very late...still only received a referral for an orthopedic evaluation (not a developmental specialist, just dealing with his motor movement!) at 19 months when still not walking. Later, when consulting a full team at another location regarding him possibly being autistic, they were shocked at this offices lack of concern for his developmental shortfalls. The Developmental Psychologist at the meeting said "a child who doesnt life their head themselves by THREE MONTHS OLD should be immediately screened for CEREBRAL PALSY and a host of other serious developmental problems...and that lifting their head is more of a milestone than any other! Like I said, thought they were great doctors and a great assistant, but turns out I knew better and its sad considering how many very young children they see.I understand how hard medi-cal can be, but if you go to this office, be sure you educate yourself and double check whats said...I simply thought they knew their stuff !

Horrible office!! My childs medical records were to be transferred from the previous pediatrician. We signed the release and this office never received the records nor did they call to follow up on them. I found out 3 MONTHS LATER they never received them and now they want me to call the previous pediatrician to follow up with the records... Their reason for not calling me or the previous pediatrician, "This is a high volume office and we do not check to see if records are received or not. We only scan records in if we receive them" They also didnt check my childs iron levels but stated on the slip they gave me that I declined it. I would NEVER decline a test, and when I asked them about it they said that the iron was checked months ago and that they do not check again until the next visit.. I WILL be finding a new doctor ASAP!! Obviously this pediatrician has way too many patients so I will now help lighten the load.I would NEVER recommend this doctors office to ANYONE!!

Ive been taking my son to Dr Miranda for over 10 years. Now that I have twins I also take them there too. Like others DRs offices his is very busy but never anything outrageous.. He is very attentive and takes his time to answer questions during the visit. He is awesome with screaming babies! The front office staff is friendly but you do have to follow up on the paperwork aspect if you need something important. Their phone system is a mess and always has been but I just attribute that to him being so awesome and busy that everyone wants their children to be seen by him. I miss his P.A. Greg. Thomas is OK but he always seems rushed and he isnt really personable. He needs to work on his bedside manor a little but he gets the job done and he isnt rude. Overall, I love this Pediatricians office..

I love Dr. Miranda and have been seeing him since 2001, I am not to happy with the office manager and his staff though, she (office manager) was very inconsiderate and dismissed all of my three children from the practice including my youngest who was 1yr old at the time and was seen routinely. She did not take into consideration that my middle childs no show was not intentional and had no compassion for my youngest sons health. I was seen about two weeks before they dismissed us and she had no idea. It was very hard to find a doctor to replace Dr. Miranda and I pleaded with her to consider not dismissing us. She was very rude and I would loved to have been dealing with the old staff rather then his new staff. They are very inexperinced and probably do not have children of their own.

I believe Dr.Raymond Miranda is the Best pediatrician in the entire fresno county , He is knowledgeable, resourceful, Friendly, Caring and extremely patient. He takes his time every time to answer all my questions, his Diagnoses are on the Spot and his follow ups are consistent every time. We have been going to his office since my Son Joshua was born in 2014 and continued when My daughter Marielle was born in 2016. His Office is clean and his staff are very professional, Helpful and efficient. My Husband and I always recommend Dr. miranda to our friends and We recommend him to anyone in fresno and clovis who is looking for a great Pediatrician.
