What Valle Verde families have to say

He’s such an amazing person you can have.

I can’t believe that my kids have a great Pediatrician Dr. Tai K , who help my kids needs, He’s such an amazing person you can have . And also the staff’s members are very friendly too. Thank you guys so much !

its a huge relief.

Both my kids have gone here since age 2-4. Due to moving around a lot, I've had several pediatricians over the past few years (in comparison, not all 5 stars). Valle Verde is absolutely wonderful. The thing I appreciate the most is that whenever I have a serious health concern, Valle Verde doctors see my children within 24 hours, and its a huge relief. Those trips are few and far between but its nice to count on them in times of need. 5 stars, all the way.

He even calls back to give advice as needed given that we’re first time parents and so anxious bout everything.

Kudos to the team for doing an amazing job and giving exceptional customer service. Receptionist TJ is always very helpful since day 1/we became their patient and nurse Irma's very accomodating, we feel so comfortable to have her around. Most specially, our child loves her presence, too. Dr. Tai is 100%. He responds as soon as he can at mychart. He even calls back to give advice as needed given that we're first time parents and so anxious bout everything.

Thank you Valle Verde! We are so thankful for you!!!

We love Valle Verde Pediatrics! The front office staff, nurses and doctors are so kind, knowledgeable, and caring. Dr. Rendler and Dr. Tai gave our three children a well check the day they were born at the hospital and now almost 18 years later we continue to drive almost an hour for them to continue caring for them. NP Amanda now cares for our three girls and we adore her. She is so understanding and helpful. They actually just had their annual well check and left raving about how wonderful it was. Thank you Valle Verde! We are so thankful for you!!!

Dr. Tai rocks.

All of my 4 children have been going to Valle Verde. Dr. Tai rocks and so do his staff.

helpful when my youngest was scared.

Irma was so helpful when my youngest was scared to be in the office. She gave him a treasure box until he could calm down enough to take the vision and hearing screening accurately. Dr Tai was fun and joked with my 15 year old about sports and such.

thanks to Valle Verde my son is almost 100 and feeling better than ever!

Valle Verde pediatrics goes above and beyond every time! I’ve been with them for over 12 years. I have 5 kids and I’ve never had a bad experience. Every time I’ve had an issue they are able to get us in quickly. The nurses are always very nice and helpful. Gloria ( and Susan who is no longer there) are the best! Amanda CNP and Altaira NP are phenomenal! Dr. Tai and Dr. Rendler are great too! I know that I can send a message in my chart and they are on it. Based on a recent visit and a bad experience with urgent care (went twice). I knew something wasn’t right with my son, I messaged Amanda CNP at 1:55am and she happened to be out so Altaira Np responded within an hour of opening and advised me to bring my son in and they would get him checked. Got him in, didn’t even wait 5 min, within 35 min we had a diagnosis, meds prescribed and we were on our way! My son went from looking lethargic and completely depleted to saying he was feeling better after a couple hours of first dose of meds.I followed my gut and thanks to Valle Verde my son is almost 100 and feeling better than ever! I will recommend this office every time!

make me feel at ease with any issues.

I have been taking all three of my kiddos to Valle Verde Pediatrics for close to 4 years and I am always happy with their kindness and care for my children's health. They listen to my concerns and make me feel at ease with any issues that come up concerning my babies. Would highly recommend!

We absolutely love the front desk, nurses and drs.

My 4 boys have been going to valley verde pediatrics since birth. We absolutely love the front desk, nurses and drs. Two of my boys are severe asthmatics, Dr Rendler and NP Amanda are always on top of their flare ups. I Highly recommend this office to everyone.

The front office makes check-in and checkout easy.

My girls have been treating at this office for quite some time and we have seen all of the providers who are all wonderful as well as the nurses, Miss Irma is so helpful and always so kind. The front office makes check-in and checkout easy. I can't recommend this practice enough.

Amanda P.

stayed well after hours to ensure he received it.

I cannot say enough good things about the incredible care my son receives from nurse Aubrie Galik and Dr. Tai Kuangkai. Both are attentive, compassionate, and committed. They can immediately put my son at ease with their calm and caring demeanor. Ms. Aubrie and Dr. Tai have been my son’s health care providers for 5 years now. When my son required treatment, they stayed well after hours to ensure he received it. Their dedication and professionalism are beyond impressive. We are so grateful for their exceptional care and kindness. Thank you, Nurse Aubrie and Dr. Tai!
