Now Accepting New Patients

Where Little Lives Get Big, Healthy Starts

Compassionate, expert pediatric care from newborns to teenagers — because every child deserves a doctor who truly gets them.
IMMUNIZATION POLICY
We understand that vaccination is a personal decision. However, if you choose not to vaccinate, we kindly suggest transferring to a practice that better aligns with your beliefs and we will provide you with official documentation to safely transition your child's medical care to another pediatric practice. 

Declining vaccinations exposes your child to unnecessary medical risks and compromises the safety of vulnerable individuals in our community, including newborns and immunocompromised patients. Because our practice commitment relies on providing evidence-based standards of care, we require our patients to adhere to the recommended immunization schedules. Our office is committed to promoting public health through vaccination, and we believe it is important to prioritize the well-being of all our patients and their families as well as that of our dedicated office staff. We strictly adhere to the evidence-based guidelines established by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).

At Smita Tandon, MD, our highest priority is the health and safety of your children and our community. Our medical commitment is deeply personal: Dr. Tandon has personally suffered from the very diseases we vaccinate against. She has witnessed firsthand the devastation, long-term health consequences, and heartbreak caused by preventable illnesses. We firmly advocate for the routine vaccination of children based on robust, peer-reviewed scientific research and heartfelt clinical experience. Vaccines safely strengthen your child's immune system and provide the most effective defense against life-threatening infections, including meningitis, measles, polio, pertussis, pneumonia, and varicella.

She was able to answer all my questions and concerns about my two young daughters and was very kind. We recently had to change Pediatricians due to my insurance changing and I’m glad we found a good doctor for my girls.

Dr. Tandon is the ultimate best. She was son’s pediatrician from Day 1. She is so very knowledgeable and was just amazing with him. Our son had frequent visits due to ear infections and she took such good care of him and mind you, he needed tubes but she always did everything to make him comfortable. Any time we had a visit for check ups, vaccines, colds, you name it, she always gave the upmost care. I never had to worry, and always made our son smile. I highly recommend Dr. Tandon and to know we had the pleasure of having her as our sons pediatrician, and to whom is in her care now, it truly makes my heart happy because you will not find anyone better, loving, caring and nurturing than Dr. Smita Tandon. Hope to one day pop in her office and see her if we are back visiting California soon. Truly the ultimate Best! I can seriously write a book here, I will forever be grateful for the amazing care she gave our son. I can’t say it enough. Xoxo

Dr.Tandon and the nurse practitioners are awesome! The front desk is nothing short of rude. I have only had 2 experiences at this office and both were terrible simply because of the front desk. 1st: I forgot my phone in my car and I knocked for about 10 min, no one answered the door. An intern happen to be walking in when I decided to go down to my car and he let me in. The front desk said there is a sign asking to call so they can open the door. I explained I forgot my phone and they said i should have gone back down. They don't' answer knocks on doors. Mind you, my son was ill so the experience felt even more frustrating as they clearly heard my knocks. 2nd: I forgot my mask and the office wanted to charge me $1 per mask. I asked if they could waive the fee since I do not carry cash, they said no they need to r/s. The refuse to bill me or take a card payment. After asking 2 other offices for a mask, I came back in and said I got one. I told the front desk another office was kind enough to give me a mask. She said, that's good for them, now you know where to go in the future if you need a mask, laughed and walked away. I was so appalled. I am not here for fun, this is a pediatric office per my insurance. I may change office simply because of the front desk staff, though I do debate it because the doctors are above and beyond. I hope the doctor takes these complaints seriously and asks their front desk act in a professional manner.

Dr. Tandon has been my Grandson’s Dr. for nearly all of his life. I highly recommend this Physician because she is extremely educated, compassionate, shows empathy with ‘her kids’, Dr. Tandon & her Staff have always been there for us, especially in a time of need. Without Dr. Tandon, and her specialties, my guy would have never gotten needed services, I did not know what Autism was until Dr.Tandon. Dr. Tandon takes great care at each visit, and is very thorough , we have allowed appreciated her candidness , advice, and compassion with our Leeland. He has grown today into a healthy , happy young man today . Thank you Dr. Tandon, and Thank You to your awesome staff, for protecting our precious family member(s). Your students are lucky to have you as their teacher, you have a lot to pass on to them.
