Testimonials

"We could not be happier with the care we receive from Dr. Airola. She is professional, caring, and understanding, and so much fun. She makes coming to the doctors office a pleasant experience for my kids and for me! The medical staff and front desk staff are all wonderful as well."

“Dr. Chamberlain is an amazing doctor! He takes time to sincerely listen to your concerns as a parent and to the patient as well. He doesn’t rush visits and takes a whole body approach when diagnosing and treating. I’m so impressed with his bedside manners and how he makes feel that our opinions matter!”

"I am a military wife. My son was born at CHOMP three weeks before my family had to move to our next duty station in Texas. I thought having a pediatrician for the three weeks before the move was not going to be a big deal, so I left it up to chance and decided beforehand to just stick with the on-call pediatrician during the birth of our son. Thank goodness Dr. Pack was the on call doctor! I was so pleased with his demeanor, compassion and professionalism at the hospital! All of those characteristics brought me to MPPMG, and experiencing those same characteristics from every staff member I encountered is what kept me there! I have never in my life met a sweeter lady than Carol, the lactation consultant. Carol and Dr. Pack were absolute heroes. They were both bound and determined to give me all of the support, resources, and mostly confidence necessary to travel successfully across country with a newborn. It meant so much to have that sort of support, especially as a traveling military wife and a new mom dealing with such a stressful situation. I cannot thank MPPMG enough!."—Jessica Miller

"It was such a pleasure visiting the MPPMG family for the first time today! Our entire visit was given loving attention which fully met the needs of our children’s well being. We were also very happy to see the MPPMG team represent and value diversity. We look forward to our next visit!"

"All of the staff at MPPMG and specifically, Dr. Jill Airola, have been not only accommodating with all our appointments and with any immediate needs, but are also sure fun and joyous to be around. They make my daughter comfortable and excited to be at the doctor’s office. They are quick and professional with all our shots and are really just the most pleasant people."

“Some of the best pediatricians I have ever met. They care, take their time with the parents, and show respect for their patients. I am really grateful to have found this medical group. It is a relief knowing that they are available when I have basic questions or my children are sick. Best on the peninsula!”

“Love the office staff and doctors! Always very attentive and knowledgeable of my questions and concerns."

“Cannot recommend this place enough! We were patients of FNP Erin Carter ever since our child was born. Her bedside manner is outstanding and I’ll search for such an excellent provider probably for the rest of my life. As a first-time mom I was very anxious, had a lot of questions and worries. FNP Carter never rushed me, answered everything and reassured me. She is fantastic! We saw other providers at MPPMG as well and they were very good. I also saw a lactation consultant who did absolute wonders for me as a new mom. Sadly, we had to move to a different state, but if we’re ever back in the area, I won’t think twice, I’ll go to MPPMG. I wish there were adult doctors as great as the pediatricians at MPPMG.”

“Dr. Josephson is one of the sweetest doctors I have ever met! She has a gentle and kind approach with my children and makes them feel calm during the visit. They no longer scream and try to escape as soon as we get to the office which makes going to the pediatrician a treat!"

“We just love you guys and how kind you all are!"

“Having three children come here has been a great experience! Really great staff with a BIG plus of same day appointments if my kids get sick.”

“The new pediatrician, Dr. Pack, is pretty amazing—he is very thorough with his explanations and follows up with phone calls to make sure my children are doing better. I feel his bedside manner is wonderful and my kids ask if we can "go see Dr. Pack" even when they aren’t sick!"

"Monterey Peninsula Pediatric Medical Group (MPPMG) continues to be the best medical support our family has ever received. After years of searching for quality medical care, we feel blessed to have found this wonderful clinic. The doctors and practitioners are highly professional, courteous and responsive. The staff is friendly, cooperative and proactive. Perhaps most impressive is the availability of on-call doctors, which is especially helpful for new parents who constantly worry over even the slightest changes in their baby's health. Since being a newborn, our daughter has seen Dr. Jill Airola and we have been completely satisfied with her proficiency, attention to detail and high degree of care and understanding. Our son has seen both Drs. Rosen and LaMothe on several occasions, and we are similarly impressed with both their knowledge and supportiveness. It is difficult to find such a well-balanced approach to medical service, combining both professional acumen with honest, from-the-heart care and consideration. The doctors and staff at MPPMG excel in every respect, and we are continually impressed and grateful for their service. We whole-heartedly recommend MPPMG to every prospective client. Our only wish is that they offered client services for adults as well!"— AJ

"We really love the staff here! Everyone is very friendly and the office seems very clean and organized. We can always get an appointment on the same day we call or whenever we need one.”

"My husband and I could not be more pleased with our decision to have our infant son cared for at the Monterey Peninsula Pediatric Group. The front desk staff and nurses are friendly and very accommodating. The group has experienced and extremely understanding lactation consultants available for moms having difficulty breast feeding their little one; they helped me keep my sanity! The doctors are knowledgeable and have created an environment where parents and children are actually excited to see the doctors and staff. My son sees Dr. Jill Airola and she is amazing with him (and me)! I'm so thankful to have a doctor that I can trust and help guide me through the uncertainties that a newborn brings."– Jackie Priester
