Reviews of Sun Pediatrics - Dr. Meenakshi Hari (Doctor)

Stanley Sequeira

The biggest problem is Dr. Hari tends to delegate most patients to her nurses. Dr. hari is really good but as a parent, I want her to spend sufficient time with my child. Also every time we’ve been there Dr. Hari always seems to be in some kind of a hurry and always tends to do too many things in little time.

Dr. Hari is fabulous! She is always explains all the procedures and is very thorough. She is very patient to answer all my questions. Best of all she was available by telephone immediately when I had some concerning question for my new born. I'm glad I came to know about Dr. Hari. I would readily recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful doctor for their child.

Very good doctor. We moved from different state to Smyrna, GA. First time visit, Doctor asked complete report to understand my child’s medical condition. My son used to scream as soon as we enter into doctor office. This time, he treat this doctor like as a friend and started talking with her easily. We are happy with this first time visit. Thanks Doctor!

I am very content and happy with Dr. Hari's services! She's one of a kind and a genuine human being! She came to the hospital on two separate occasions when my two daughters were born, and started her professional pediatric journey with them there. She knows what she's doing and respects her patients altogether. She's thorough with her job as a pediatrician. She has answered all my questions and concerns about my children's health. She has offered me genuine advice regarding the care of my children. If you are looking for a great pediatrician for your children, I highly recommend Dr. Meenakshi Hari, you will NOT regret your visits there!!!!!!!!

Dr. Unprofessional and unfriendly wanted me to sign privacy act forms however refused to give me a copy saying she has no copy machine (really) a office with out a fax and xerox machine . I offered to go inconveniently next door to obtain a copy she declined mind you this is my first visit new patient packet and my baby is sick and all I wanted was a copy of the privacy act forms in the new patient packet your signature says you received a copy ....all I wanted was my copy . Of course I quickly left her office took my child elsewhere . I'm certain her bedside manners are just as bad ....she wasted my time driving there filling out papers waiting to see her I have a sick child present Dr Hari didnt care.. to busy telling lies hasn't a way to copy lol

Dr. Hari and staff are wonderful. We met with her while I was still pregnant and after meeting with her, we knew right away she was the right choice for our family. She's one of the only pediatricians in Marietta that will go to Northside Hospital. When I had my baby via emergency C-Section at 4:51am, she was at the hospital within a couple hours to check on him despite having a full team with him in the NICU round the clock. She was also there at minimum every other day until we got the clear to go home. She always has your child's best interest at heart and will give you her professional opinion on anything you ask or need. She will respectfully disagree at times, but again, it's always with your child's best interest in mind and is never with the intent to offend. Her M.A's and nurse practitioner always have a smile on their faces and treat you like family. They will fit you in same day if needed and are a great team to have for your child's medical needs.

Dr Hari is really special. compassionate caring and right approach always. my 5 year old kid is always at ease here. i would definitely recommend.

Leanna Haesche

Horrible experience. They are rude and will disrespect you. Hang up on you, and lie. They don't do combo shots.... So if you like to see your child in more pain then needed go there. Very unhappy with them

Ajay Kashyap

Subashini Kothandapani

I have been visiting Dr.Hari for my baby for almost 2 years now. She is very good and friendly and will answer all your doubts very clearly.. Her medical assistance is always great. She also keeps track of all my daughter's emergency visits and give proper assistance on time. Appreciate her great service.

My kids have been going to Dr. Hari for years. She has an incredible bedside manner. She always takes her time and makes sure that you are comfortable and have had all your questions answered. We only have wonderful things to say about her.

Very informative and thorough, I never leave with questions unanswered. It is an overall great place and my baby is comfortable whenever i bring him.

She's smart, sweet and caring. Took care of my daughter very well. Can't tell how excellent she is with diagnosis because we didn't have a need. Ours was a general checkup, and we re extremely happy.

Ashanti P

Great staff and facility!!!

S. Kirkland

She is an Awesome Doc!!!!!!!! I just love how she is personable with not only the babies but the parents too!!! She definitely puts parents at ease:))

Manali Deshpande

We have been visiting Dr. Hari right from when our first born was 6 days old. Yes, 6 days old. Making an appointment is really easy and without any hassle and the staff will always welcome you with a smile. Dr. Hari spends good amount of time with us listening to our concerns and makes sure that those are clarified.

Praveen Ettam

Dr Hari is so special for us. The office is very clean and I love the way that they treat my kids. I have two kids and we take both to Dr Hari. She is very responsible and she ask many questions to make sure we are comfortable and our kids are getting what they need. My daughter is special need kid and Dr Hari provide all supports and resource that she knows. She has all resources information in Georgia. I would really command who ever do not want to wait for hours to get appointment. We have no issue so far to take appointment and it will take max 20 min to go in and come out from the clinic. Special thanks to the nurses and staff, they follow all process and office is very clean.

Ashley Leavell Woods

Dr. Hari is one of the best of Pediatricians in the Atlanta Metro Area. She gets a 10 out of 10 in my book! I am a proud mother of 4 very active, beautiful, healthy children. Right from the start, Dr. Hari had a wonderful bedside manner that seemed to relax my 9 week old son, 2 year-old daughter, 5 year-old daughter, and 9 year-old son. Now, going to the doctor for the kids wasn’t a fearful anxiety filled event. However, what I found most refreshing about Dr. Hari is that she engaged me as a parent and discussed treatment plans that address my thoughts, concerns, and feelings. No previous doctor had ever done that before. At that point, I knew she was the best choice for my family. I have a sense of peace in knowing that my children are in good hands.

Jamecia Carr

I absolutely love Dr.Hari. She has been My son's pediatrician since he was February 2014 (@ 11 weeks) and i have NOT had one bad experience. I love her nurses. They're such sweethearts! Everytime i call the office, the receptionist/nurse is always comforting and attentive to my concern and gets an appointment scheduled asap. They even have same day appointments available. Dr. Hari is great with my son and always has been, Even though he isn't a huge fan of going to the doctor. As a first time mother with a 1 year old, I'm comfortable with expressing all my concerns about Marley with Dr.Hari. Since we have been going to her we've never sat in the waiting room longer than 15 minutes. Her nurses come in and do their job, laugh and play with Marley. Their level of professionalism is outstanding. Watching Dr.Hari motivates me to want to pursue my dream as a pediatrician. I most definitely recommend Dr. Hari to any and all parents in need of the PERFECT pediatrician. My sister takes my 2 nieces and 2 nephews to Dr.Hari and they LOVE her. They're always talking about her! If you or anyone you know is searching for that pediatrician that meets all qualifications on the "parent checklist" please please please choose Dr. Meenakshi Hari!!!

Lyndina Warren

Love Dr. Hari and mrs. Charlotte , they took both of my children under their wing after transferring from another ped office. They show my children what a true pediatrician looks like. We have had no complaints from the clinical staff , the front staff could be a lot more friendly and professional being they work for a children’s office .

Rishabh Vyas

Dr. Hari and her team are excellent. She really spends good time with you during appointments and puts you at ease. This is really important to us being new parents. Also, they have started special weekend sessions for new parents wherein Dr. Hari gives invaluable information about infant care like feeding, sleeping, what is normal, what is not, when to go to ER, when to call 911, etc. We learnt much more than what we would have by books or google. All in all it is a great practice and we are really glad we chose them. We would highly recommend them!

AJ

We couldn't have asked for a better doctor for our little one. She's a great doctor in not only for the care she provides for our baby girl, but also for the time she takes to ensure the parents are doing well as well. She always ensures that all our questions are answered before we leave and let us know what to expect in the next phase of our child's growth. She is really knowledgeable and has a great personality; it is always a pleasure to visit her. My wife and I would highly recommend Dr Hari to anyone.

Amber Herring

When I had my daughter in November 2013, I was in search of a pediatrician for her that would best fit our needs. I came across Dr.Hari at Sun Pediatrics and decided to meet with her to see if she was a good fit for our family...best decision! I love the small practice because I truly get a caring personal experience each time I call for advice or ask questions and each visit I make in the office. After caring for my daughter for 16 months, I gave birth to my son who also goes to Dr. Hari for care. As a breastfeeding mother, it is very important to find a good support system and she proved herself to be very supportive of my breastfeeding journey. As an over producer (of breastmilk), Dr.Hari encouraged me to donate my extra breast milk to babies in need. She provided me with all of the information I needed and was helpful throughout my process to begin making my donations. As of today, she has helped me successfully donate 450 ounces to a baby in need and that is just the beginning!

My experience visiting Dr. Meenakshi and her staff is always a pleasant and satisfying visit. Very professional, caring, and considerate of the needs of her patients. Both of my boys walk in confident with no worries or fear. All in all her office is #1 in my book.

Nataraj R

Dr. Hari has been fabulous so far. My 2 year old son got the urinary tract infection and had very high fever. Doctor helped him overcome it within a couple of visits. She was kind, experienced, knowledgeable and very helpful. It is possible to reach the doctor anytime and she also called back to make sure everything is alright. She is absolutely one of the best Pediatricians and will recommend to anyone.

Fatima Madesko

I have been with her office for two years and I’m very satisfied and pleased with the service that they provide. Nurse Neece Hitson goes above and beyond her duties. Always on the top of her job, pleasant, helpful and kind. Visiting pediatric office is not always what you want to do but the staff and doctor make it easy and less painful. Keep doing great job.

Sneha Suresh

We have been visiting Dr. Hari's clinic since the past 3 years. We have two girls, Akshara (5 years) and Mira (3 years). Both my kids are very fond of her. As parents we couldn't be happier that we choose a right doctor for our kids. She is very patient, a good listener and very warm. We have always been very happy with her diagnosis and hospitality. Thank you for taking good care of my kids. Regards, Sneha suresh.

Emma de Cardenas

I could not ask for a better pediatrician for my family. Dr. Hari, Nurse Charlotte, and their staff are extraordinary in every way. They are caring, personable, and loving. As a first time mom, these guys have been there for me and patiently answered all my questions at every turn. I highly recommend!!

Nikelle Klareich

Dr. Hari and her staff have provided excellent care for my child. When she was born, Dr. Hari came to the hospital every day to check on her and provided some great feedback. She helped me with breast feeding issues, and gave us (first-time parents) much needed assurance and advice. Dr. Hari is on-call 24/7 for emergencies and has helped us on evenings and weekends when it was necessary. I have never had any trouble getting in for an appointment - even the time I called at Friday at 3:30, they made time to see my daughter that day. When we were looking for a pediatrician, we had reservations about someone in a small practice, as opposed to a large medical group with many doctors. However, Dr. Hari and her staff have proven to us that you don't need to be large to be able to cover all of our needs. We would definitely recommend Sun Pediatrics!

Tom Tapley

Dr. Hari and her staff are always so kind to my children, they always make time for us! Thanks guys!!!!

Sherry Middleton

I can't complain about the care that my daughter had received at Sun Pediatrics. I love the nurse partitioner . I only met the Dr. Meenhakshi one time out of my 3/4 visits. She was ok but seemed to be in a rush unlike the nurse partitioner who seemed to take the time to answer any and all questions even if she was super busy. I STOPPED TAKING MY CHILD HERE. Mainly because of the front office staff. There was an incident where I was late. Now I do understand that an late appointment can throw off their whole day....however the way someone relays information that you don't want to hear counts a lot. I live far so getting my daughter to the location was a challenge. The last incident that made me leave the practice was when my daughter was scheduled for a flu shot. I called to move her appointment up because she had diarrhea too. Now mind you her main purpose for going was for the flu shot, and always the flu shot. Some how some way they changed my appointment to indicate she was coming in solely for diarrhea. This particular day I left work early which is close to Sun Pediatrics---to go all the way home "which is about 30 minutes away without traffic. I picked up my daughter and came back this to take her to her appointment. We got there supper early so we wouldn't run into the late issue again. While I'm waiting the receptionist states to me that they are OUT OF THE FLU VACCINE. She then explains that they had me coming in for a diarrhea issue verses the flu shot so that's why I did not get a call to inform me that they are out of the vaccine. I'm like my appointment for the flu shot has been set for weeks. One person couldn't switch the appointment right in the book/computer that caused me to waste gas and most importantly time which is something I can never get back. Needless to say my daughter was too through...she had to travel all the way to the office, taken out the car to turn around to and have to travel all the way back home. I had to listen to a winy baby who had been in the car way too long for no reason! The practice being out of the flu vaccine wasn't even the huge issue. It was that they didn't try to make it better. How? I'm not sure but some kind of efforts would have been appreciated. It would have made me feel like they at least valued my business and my daughter as a patient. To me it seems like they are not in the practice of being flexible with patients but when they make a mistake it's like OH WELL!!!!

After leaving us in a room over an hour, I notified the staff and realized we were forgotten. Then I get to the pharmacy the next day and they forgot so send the prescription. The staff was very friendly but extremely forgetful and unprofessional. I do not think I will be returning, I am concerned about what other mistakes they make. Extremely dissatisfied.

Sridhar Surapaneni

Dr. Hari has been an exceptional pediatrician for both my kids. Her office staff are also amazing, making sure all our needs are met. What makes her practice extra special is that she's accessible, you can get a same day sick visit with very little wait time, she is very attentive and answers all questions we might have. She is also very understanding and informative. Dr. Hari is so caring and gentle with my children. I've never felt rushed during a visit and most importantly she makes you feel like your concerns are being heard. She takes the time to explain everything she is doing in wellness and sick visits. She makes sure we are well informed. She has also personally called my house twice, inquiring about our kids health status after a sick visit. If you're looking for a doctor who will put your child's needs above all, look no further than Dr. Hari.

Srinidhi Ananthakrishnan

Dr. Hari is too good , a compassionate Doctor. She takes care of my son so well. He got adjusted to her visits very quickly. She is very kids friendly and takes time and effort to explain what is going on and treatment needed. Getting appointment is also very quick for sick visits. They truly understand the parents perspective when needing a sick visit. Thank you Dr.Hari.

Sangam Ravindhar

She is the best. Knowledgeable, good listener when it comes to hearing the patient problems. I feel very comfortable when we need to take my son for a visit. I defenately recommend her

Keerthi Nath

Most compassionate doctor! Very patient in listening to all of your health concerns about your child and very informative. I always feel better and worry relieved about my child after I discuss my concerns with her and receive great suggestions. Despite of their busy practice, I am almost able to schedule an appointment sooner than expected. Her staff are courteous and extremely helpful too!

Ibtehaj A

Bad experience!

Shekina Moore

Dr. Hari is thorough!

Shalone Garcia

Dr. Hari is a wonderful doctor. She has a great personality and is always welcoming. Dr. Hari was available for us when our newborn became sick during the night and that was very helpful for stressed out parents.

Kathryn Moorhead

I have only brought my daughter in for two visits. Dr. Hari is wonderful and we liked her but her Nurse Practitioner and front desk staff really bring us in! The first time we came our insurance card was incorrect and the front desk ladies were so nice and helpful! met Dr. Hari she was very professional and relatively quick. The nurse practitioner really had my daughter smiling and really made us both feel extremely comfortable and want to come back!

Ashleigh A.

From the staff to Dr Hari herself, everyone is such a pleasure and professional. Being a first time mom with a sick baby is made comfortable with Dr Hari. Her guidance as a mother herself is very refreshing. I never wait longer than 10-15 mins to be seen and that is also a plus. Thanks ladies :-)

I am deeply disappointed the way they treat patients .. The immunization record was not shared once vaccinations are given and upon requesting the medical release forms they are hesitant to release it to the new doctors office .. I would never recommend any one to this clinic
