Dr. Laura Mikhail, MD

Dr. Mikhail is an amazing and fantastic pediatrician who combines expert knowledge with a genuinely caring approach. She takes the time to explain things clearly, making sure we always feel comfortable and well-informed. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a compassionate and skilled pediatrician.

Dr. Laura Mikhail is truly exceptional—not only knowledgeable and professional but also incredibly kind and compassionate. She took the time to listen to my concerns, answered all of my silly questions with patience, explained everything in detail, and even took notes for me. It’s rare to find a doctor who genuinely cares about their patients the way Dr. Mikhail does.

Switched to different doctor after she wrinkled her nose at concerns about minor complaints that turned out to be warning signs of autism. She told us the complaints were inconsequential. Felt like gaslighting. Felt like betrayal. In retrospect, we were right. As long as you don't need deep expertise or compassion, she's probably great. We might have had much better outcomes had we received better care at the earliest indications of trouble. If it's not her thing, it's not her problem kind of bias may or may not affect you. Maybe a decade of parent experience has helped her bedside manner. YMMV. Forewarned is forearmed.

We left the Weissbluth office (the Weissbluth son is nothing like his well-regarded father) and switched to Dr. Laura Mikhail based on recommendations from friends. Dr. Mikhail is professional beyond words--great personality (and relationship with our infant son); thoughtful review of records; excellent communication on relevant topics and recommendations; and otherwise a smart, dedicated professional. Highly recommended.

We switched to Dr. Mikhail when my 1st child was an infant after a very poor experience elsewhere. She makes my kids feel like they are the most important people in the world and she has never steered me wrong. She does not over-diagnose and is very reasonable.
