Dr. Laqua is truly one of a kind. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine care for my daughter go far beyond what I could ever hope for in a pediatrician. From the moment we met her, she made us feel seen and supported. As a mom, there’s no greater comfort than knowing my child is in the hands of someone who truly cares about her well-being. Dr. Laqua is patient, compassionate, and always takes the time to address every concern with thoughtfulness and understanding. I feel so fortunate to have her as my daughter’s doctor and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

“From the moment my children met Lauren Laqua, I knew we were in excellent hands. She was not only thorough and professional, but also genuinely cared about their well-being. She patiently listened to both my children’s concerns and mine, explaining everything clearly and answering all our questions without making us feel rushed. What truly sets her apart is her proactive approach; she anticipated potential issues and addressed them before they became major problems, and even followed up personally to check on each child’s progress. My children, who can be hesitant about medical appointments, felt completely comfortable and understood. It’s rare to find such a dedicated and compassionate healthcare provider. Her dedication and compassion are truly remarkable, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone, especially parents seeking exceptional healthcare for their children.”

When I was 11 years old I started seeing Dr. Pakhi and immediately felt comfortable. As a teen it was so nice to be able to talk and ask questions without feeling awkward. I had twins a couple of years ago and immediately knew that Dr. Pakhi would be my choice for their doctor. As a mother I again feel comfortable knowing that their doctor truly knows them and cares about them. She always answers any questions that I have and even gives me information about my children that I never would have thought to ask. Instead of just offering a quick fix to a medical issue she gets to the root of the issue to promote overall health.

When I think of Dr. Pakhi and her staff the word trust comes to mind. She and her staff have always gone above and beyond for my family. Whether it was something serious or answering a question by phone they have always been there for us. They have provided us with the utmost care and kindness. I feel so grateful to have found them to help me take good care of my 3 year old daughter and 5 year old son. Dr. Pakhi and her staff are knowledgeable and offer accurate and expert care! I trust them with my kids and know that no matter what comes up that I am in the best hands possible. There is nothing more reassuring to a mom!

I am a 38 plus year resident of La Plata County mother of 5 and Grandmother of 4. Before coming to Pediatric Associates we thought all health care was the same. We quickly learned that is not the case at all!
In 2014 my son was in a very serious car accident and his condition kept deteriorating we were told this is just the way it is. Not wanting to accept that we found Dr. Pakhi and within 6 months she helped my son become better than before the accident! When every other doctor said we can’t she said I can and she did! Thanks to her I have my son back!
We also had similar experiences with some of my Grandchildren and again when others said there is no hope Dr. Pakhi said let’s try! Not only did she try she got results! She is truly a Godsend!
Personally she is very professional, smart, willing to think outside the box and she gets results! Dr. Pakhi treats the whole body not just the symptoms. It is very comforting to know that she is our doctor, we are not lost in the numbers and just another patient. She treats everyone with the utmost respect and courtesy. Not only is Dr. Pakhi always smiling and extremely pleasant each one of the staff at Pediatric Associates is also friendly and welcoming. The entire staff is professional, courteous and helpful every time you go into the office or call on the phone.
Coming to Pediatric Associates was the BEST decision we every made! We can never thank them all enough for what they have done for our family!

Betsy Kastak is an amazing nurse practitioner. She has provided excellent care for our eight month old daughter since she was a newborn. She is kind and reassuring, and especially patient with us as first time parents with any questions or concerns we may have. Her caring demeanor puts you at ease from the moment she steps into the exam room, and our baby just loves her. She provides detailed and practical advice, and she is excellent at explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend Pediatric Associates, and especially to Betsy, to anyone looking for a provider for their child.
