Irizarry Maritza DR

i was in the area looking for new pediatrician that was closer to my home. i found sunshine. I called them to talk to the doctor. when i did call i got a young hispanic barely speaking young girl\t\n\t\nwhen i called it was as if no one had ever called the doctors offi...ce before and wanted to know the patients name and my name and why i was calling. i said, i would like to speak to the doctor on duty. she finally stated that the doctor was busy and that i leave my number and the doctor will return my call. i did that and u gas been three days and no one returned my call. on the third day, i called them back. All my calls were going to voice mail stating the hours of operation. i tried several times throughout the working day and was not able to get anyone to pick up. this is a sad thing because now the closest SUNSHINE PED that we would like to use is not available to be called and is not very good with customers calling on the phone Read More

Being new to AZ is it hard to find a doctor. You look in the phone book or call your insurance and you get a long list. My best decision was to see Dr. Irizarry and Sunshine Pediatrics. My child has asthma and was having difficulty breathing on a Friday afternoon/early ...evening, and we were not rushed out due to it being a Friday. They actually ended up staying late to help treat my child. They made sure that the medications working and also made sure the he was comfortable. They always and reassuring words. They provided us with some samples as well as being able to walk out with a nebulizer to take care of my son and not have to worry about how I was going to get either the machine or medication. They made sure that I was comfortable to utilizing the nebulizer. Having a child that cannot breath is a very scary experience but knowing the doctors you are utilizing is extremely educated and caring makes all of the difference. Her bedside manner is A+. To anyone who is looking for quality and caring in a doctor's office look no further. Read More

My child has been at Dr. Irizarry's practice on a number of occassions and we have always be treated with kindness and respect. The first visit always takes the most time and the practice did inform us of that upfront. Both the medical assistants and the providers were ...very caring and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this practice. The staff wanted to make sure that I understood how to take care of my child's condition. Staff was able to communicate with me very well especially since I do not speak Spanish. This is a caring providers office that wants to ensure that the patient and family are taken care of appropriately. Read More

My child was only 1 week old when I took him to see Dr. Irizarry. When my husband and I walked into the medical building, there was a sign on a door that read "infants only" so we entered in that door. After waiting almost 10 minutes for the receptionist to get off the ...phone and actually acknowledge us, we were told to sign in on the other side. So we walked out that door and, with our 1 week old son, walked into what appeared to be a sick child room. Kids of all ages running around and screaming, coughing and sneezing. Once we were signed in, I walked out into the hallway so my son was not subjected to disease. I waited about 15 minutes when my husband, who was waiting for our name to be called, walked out to me and said that we were supposed to be waiting in the first room that we were in. So we re enter the infant waiting room, which had the capacity for 5 people, only to find a woman, her 4 children (none of which were infants and one of which was sick) and her elderly mother taking up all the seats because there was not room in the next room. So once again I am subjecting my son to disease. Once we were called into the office, we were brought into a room whose paper that covers the bed had not been changed from the last patient. The nurse barely spoke English seeing as I had to help her finish sentances because she couldn't think of the word. My son's umbilical cord had not yet fallen off so the nurse put a chemical that supposedly helps the cord fall off and put a cotton ball over it. When the Dr. walked in she told us that the cotton ball was a no-no. When I told her that her nurse had put it on , she then requitted her statement and asked "did she put a chemical on his cord" When I told her yes. Then she said it was ok. Then I was instructed to stay in the room by the doctor for a few minutes so she could check on something. The nurse came back and told us it was ok to leave. This office is VERY unorganized and I highly reccomend looking for another Dr. Read More
