Dr. Leswing is not a strong advocate for breastfeeding, grossly mismeasured our son causing unnecessary anxiety about his growth, and misdiagnosed a food sensitivity causing him to be put him on an aggressive medication regime. The three other physicians and the hospital Lactation team we consulted were concerned with the advice we have been given by the Mountain Peds team. Additionally Mountain Peds did not inquire about developmental milestones during well child visits. This practice has recently told several moms to switch to formula because their breast milk is "low calorie," which Lactation tells is is an urban legend unless mom is living in a famine zone. One other small thing: the exam tables dont have paper covers and we have never seen them cleaned between patients. This is probably not a concern for older kiddos, but we did not like putting a naked newborn down on the previous patients thigh sweat. On the positive side, all of the staff are kind and friendly, and it was always easy to get an appointment.

LOVE this place! After interviewing several local pediatricians for the ever important job of taking care of my soon-to-be-born son, I knew as soon as I met Dr. Valeri that she was perfect for the job! That was 6 months ago, and I couldnt be happier! Dr. Valeri has a ton of knowledge to share. She even calmed me down during a few "new mom" meltdown moments. :-) When she sits down during my sons appointments, she is completely present with us. Never rushing to the next patient. That attention is so rare these days. And the office manager Julia always takes such good care of us, too. She is so personable and is VERY patient when my son chooses to go potty right AFTER she removes his diaper to weigh him!

Im shocked by the person that said she doesnt advocate for breastfeeding mamas. She gave me so much advice on breastfeeding and is a HUGE supporter of it, however, if your child is not gaining very well then she will absolutely suggest to supplement a small portion. There are unfortunately so many lactation consultants that are too concerned about giving breastmilk only, that the cognitive development from being underfed is grossly ignored. Dr valerie DOES do cogitive checks at all the normal milestones and has been doing that for over 3 years. I cant say enough about how much i love julia too. She is the best!

Ive been meaning to write a review for far too long. You could say I owe my sons life to Dr. Leswing. She spotted unusual symptoms in him that no one else could. Once she identified the symptoms she made sure he received the best treatment immediately. She insisted he had the absolute best physicians throughout his diagnosis and subsequent hospitalization. She spoke with each doctor personally thoroughly ensuring we had the absolute best care. Without her vigilance, incredible skills, and intelligence I dont know if wed have a healthy 3 year old today.

If you want comprehensive care, do not take your child here. I was highly upset with how my daughter and I were treated. At first, I thought that it was going to be a good fit. I was asking questions and they didnt answer them correctly. Major miscommunication, on the doctor and nurses part. The doctor did apologize but the nurse was plain rude and disrespectful towards me. They dont seem to know whats going on or what they are doing.
