I am leaving a review because from the start, my daughter has had a wonderful experience with her doctor. More recently, we needed to contact the on-call physician, Molly. She was fantastic and really helped us with a frustrating problem while also helping us keep our cool. Thank you to everyone at MPG!

THE best Pediatric group in Baltimore. The doctors are excellent clinicians. Both my college age daughters have been patients since birth. A well run office with good communications between providers and patients. Only issue I have had with this practice is that they have contracted out their billing and it takes more investigating to figure out billing.

We started at this practice nearly 9 years ago with Dr. Alan Lake for our infant twins. After Dr. Lake retired, we switched to Dr. Cervenka (who we really like). We now have three kiddos who are patients at MPG and couldn't be happier. They always have time to see a sick child and, if your doctor is not available, you will be able to see either another pediatrician or a nurse practitioner. This flexibility really makes life easier. Also, if there is an issue that requires some discussion with the doctor, we have found that we get return calls/messages quite rapidly. We have never had any issues with the care that we have received at MPG. I am not sure where the complaints about front desk staff are coming from; for the most part we have found them to be very kind, understanding and thoughtful in their interactions with our family. Of course, every practice has one or two folks that are less friendly than others, but we have not encountered any rude or inappropriate behavior from anyone on the staff. We live in Columbia and STILL stay with this practice--that should tell you something about how much we value MPG and the care we receive. I highly recommend this practice!

Our children have been patients here since birth. Dr. Winkelstein is absolutely wonderful with us and the kiddos, she's engaging and keeps them focused during appointments. Our daughter also had a scary metabolic issue until age 5 and she called us throughout every hospital stay and made sure to stay in contact with the attendings at each visit. We really couldn't have asked for more. We also just had a sick visit with Dr. Donahoo, who was also wonderful. I always recommend them to anyone who asks for a pediatrician!

My 2yo has seen Dr. Cervenka since birth. Every experience we’ve had there has been pleasant and professional, from the desk staff to the assistants to the doctors and NPs. Most recently with my newborn, we’ve seen two NPs, Gabby and Kate, due to needing last minute appointments. Both of them were fantastic and made me feel seen and heard. Kate in particular had some great advice about lactation. Despite the clinic being really busy, she didn’t rush through our appointment (which was booked same day late afternoon). Front desk is always accommodating and polite even when busy. Highly recommend this practice.

I have four boys and have been to multiple pediatricians over the years due to moving and insurance changes. This practice is by far the best practice I have ever been to. My children are highly anxious of the doctor in general and love Dr. Cervenka. They will actually agree voluntarily to get a shot after he explains it to them. I am baffled by the negative reviews posted here. The only thing I can imagine is that they took place during COVID which was a difficult time for everyone. One time my husband scheduled and came at the appointment time and was told he missed his appointment which another review mentioned. Also it can be a bit difficult to get through to them. Otherwise , they are above and beyond in every way . The pa mentioned was excellent every time we used her and we are happy to use any of the providers .
