We have had a phenomenal experience at Spring Valley! Their staff is exceptional and everyone we have met with is kind and caring. As a newer parent, having a doctor on call is invaluable. Our son had RSV in the middle of a snowstorm at five months old and we were still able to get him in on a weekend. He sees Dr. Sexter and she is wonderful, but any other doctor we have seen has also been fantastic!

Best practice in DC! We have been patients for over a decade and they have caught things early, responded to any and every question we’ve had, gotten us into top specialists and given us many referrals - even into NIH when our daughter was an infant. Thankful for them every day!

We've been very happy clients of Spring Valley Pediatrics ever since our first child was born 12 years ago.  The staff is wonderful, knowledgeable, caring, and responsive.  Here's just one example of how our family's pediatrician, Dr. Sexter, went above and beyond to save the day for us: Our family was traveling in Italy when our daughter fell ill and needed to go to the local children's hospital.  After being discharged, we were given a prescription for her that was nowhere to be found in Italy in August when 90% of pharmacies were closed.  Suffice it to say, we were stressed out and panicky. We called Dr. Sexter's line to get her help.  She was on vacation, the receptionist said, but someone else would get back to us.  A few minutes later, that someone else called--and it was Dr. Sexter on her personal cellphone, calling us from the passenger seat of her car while driving her son to his first day of college out of state.  She wasn't even supposed to be working.  But she wanted to help us and asked for the discharge papers from the hospital, which were entirely in Italian. We emailed them to her and she used Google Translate on her phone to determine what the prognosis was.  Dr. Sexter greatly reduced our stress by telling us that what our daughter was suffering from was easily treatable, and she salvaged our vacation and sped up our daughter's convalescence by finding an alternative medication for her that we could more easily find in Italy. Again, this was all while she was on vacation driving her son to college!  We already loved Dr. Sexter before that, but this incident only further cemented our loyalty to Spring Valley Pediatrics.  They're the best!

We use Spring Valley Pediatrics for our two kids and have gone to them since our first was born three years ago. We love Dr. Long, our primary provider, so much but have had great experiences with other doctors at the practice if we need to see them. The availability on Saturday and Sundays, holidays, and being able to call at any time has been so incredibly helpful when our kids get sick (as they have often), and we love the on site testing services and the network of referrals for specialists that we’ve been able to take advantage of. Highly recommend!

We’ve been patients of Dr. Sexter for eight years and I’m so pleased with the level of care and attention each of my three kiddos receives from her. She’s an excellent physician and I really appreciate her warm and friendly bedside manner. Overall the practice is excellent. The in-house lab and the early call in and weekend hours they offer were a top selling point for me when I was selecting our pediatrician and have been a real asset. When Dr. Sexter is away, we have had excellent experiences with Drs. Long and Mamdouhi, who are both thorough and have a delightful bedside manner. The office staff are adaptable, solutions oriented and friendly. The nursing team is lovely and the lab team is soooo good with little kiddos who are nervous.

We can’t say enough about Spring Valley Pediatrics. We have been going since our first daughter was born almost 18 years ago. Every visit has been just what you’d want out of a pediatric office. From our amazing pediatrician, Dr. Sexter, to our amazing nurse Jen and all of the doctors, nurses and staff - we are so grateful to have found this amazing practice where we know our 3 children have and will always so well taken care of.

We have 4 children and have been patients for 8.5 years and counting. We are patients of Dr. Sexter, but have seen all the doctors over the years and they are all great. Beyond incredible medical care, they are available early morning, all night and weekends. Since kids don't get sick 9-5, I would rather run there on a weekend when a kid wakes up sick then have to wait for hours at urgent care to be seen by someone who doesn't know you or your child.  We love the 8am call in hours for the quick question or the late night calls of what meds to give a kid who is sick.  The inconvieneces and lack of availability that our friends complain about their pediatricians are the exact reasons we love Spring Valley!

Dr. Sexter is teriffic !!! There is always someone on call and available.  Our kinder don’t get sick m-f / 9-5. Any Dr. who sees our kids is professional and knowledgeable, with kind bed side manner. The phones are answered quickly and efficiently!! The lab staff are great with a needle.  And know that kids don’t like them. The billing department is helpful when we have a question. Wouldn’t consider another pediatricians  office for our kids.

It really is as good of a primary health practice as you can get without having your own private doctor. Both of our daughters have been patients here from birth. They have a primary care physician assigned - Dr. Sexter - but they have at some point or another been seen by all of their physicians. Every one of them are great: kind, compassionate, attentive, and responsive. You will feel heard and they will address your concerns. Their knowledge and expertise is extraordinary. The office - staff and doctors - are also super responsive. If you have a pressing question, someone will get back to you that day. If it's an after hours emergency, there is always a doctor on call and they will respond within 30 minutes. The doctors hold daily office hours but it can be tricky to get a hold of them if they're experiencing a volume of calls. An extra perk I like is that they keep appointments available daily for those common but unplanned for illnesses, and they have a separate waiting room for sick vs not sick. It just runs so well you wonder why more doctors' offices don't do the same. Now of course, the one downside is they are out of network. It's not cheap. I think it's worth it if you can, but financially it can hurt if your kids have a lot of illnesses or shots in a limited period of time. They do at least submit the insurance forms for you, and that helps some. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice and all the doctors in it, and have a deep appreciation for how Dr. Sexter and Nurse Jennifer have taken care of our girls.

So impressed once again with Dr Long after the birth of my second son.  This review is so long overdue ! She has been my 2 year olds doctor for the past 2 years and we are continually impressed.  The office is fantastic , clean , inviting , separate infant space.  The front desk staff always try to accommodate you same day and we've never had an issue getting an appointment.  Dr Long is caring , warm , and so knowledgeable.  She works with us to troubleshoot issues when/if they come up and is readily available.  Thank you Spring Valley Peds and Dr Long for the fabulous care of our boys!!! K&M

My kids have been seen by Dr. Warfield and Dr. Sexter for over 15 years.  The office is awesome!  When you first walk through the doors, you are greeted with a smile from the front desk receptionists.  The Doctors are very professional, and they are able to communicate effectively to adolescents and teenagers.  They have always provided great care and addressed any medical issues that my children have had in the past.  These two docs leave no stone unturned.  The nurses are also very nice and knowledgeable.  Whenever I call with questions, they give me excellent answers, and if they are unsure of the answer, they contact the doctor and I always receive a call back from them soonest.  This is a great practice and I hope that my children take their children there for care in the future.

We spoke on the phone to a number of different pediatricians before our son was born (COVID-19 prevented us from going in person). Spring Valley was by far the best. We had a lot of questions about billing because they don't take insurance, but they returned emails quickly and even followed up with a phone call to make sure we understood everything. Despite this we initially decided to go with a different pediatrician due to the cost. After our baby was born he spent one night in the NICU and upon bringing him home we needed to see a doctor within 24 hours. We called our chosen pediatrician and told them the situation, but they couldn't see us within that initial 24 hour period, and didn't seem to make much of an effort to help out. We called Spring Valley and they saw us within 2 hours. There was no dealing with automated system when we called, either. A real person answered and the whole process was very fast and easy. That experience alone convinced us that the extra cost was worth it. Since then everyone has been very understanding, accommodating, and extremely nice. They remember us when we walk in the door and we feel like everyone from the front desk staff to the doctors genuinely care about us and our baby. I don't think that we would receive the same kind of personalized care if we had gone with a different doctor, which for us only reinforces our decision to go with Spring Valley. We feel like part of a community, and Dr. Warfield is very reassuring and encouraging. We highly recommend them!

Both of my children (son and daughter) go to this practice and see Dr. Van Vleck primarily.  I cannot describe how fantastic this practice is.  Dr. Van Vleck is thorough, professional and personable.  She runs down any problems until she is clear on the cause.  Her breadth of knowledge and desire to get to an answer is incredible.  She was able to transition her relationship with my kids as they grew to adulthood.  They trust her and look to her as their expert.  This is truly special - for a doctor to be able to not only care for them as infants and young children, but to then also be their trusted physician as they change through puberty to adulthood.  They both know that it will be a tall order to find a primary physician who is half as good as her.  Additionally, when needed, they also saw other physicians in the practice -- each one is as fabulous.  Their staff is incredibly helpful.  The nurses are so responsive and reliable -- so helpful.  They have a lab in-house and do all testing locally.  They have weekend sick hours.   We have been clients for 22 years and we are thankful for these physicians!

By far the best pediatrician experience we've had for our kids. Dr. Long is warm and friendly, helping our kids feel at ease. She is also thorough and patient. She asks great questions with holistic care in mind and she never rushes through our appointments. It's also fantastic that the practice is open every day of the year. They are super responsive, even when we need help at the last minute!

What a fabulous practice!  Not only are the doctors and staff wonderful but they are also incredibly accessible.  I have such peace of mind knowing I can reach a physician in the middle of the night and that they are open 365 days a year in case we need to come in on a weekend or holiday for a sick visit.  Highly recommend!

Wonderful doctors, nurses and staff! Great, clean and inviting space for the kids. We called in when our newborn daughter was ill and the paed on call that night took a listen and adviced us to go directly to the NICU at Childrens. A super impressive, quick and proactive decision as she was diagnosed with RSV, needed urgent care and was in the NICU for 2,5 weeks. We are allways seen quickly if there is an immediate illness and couldnt be happier with the Spring Valley team. Our kids are in the safest hands! Thank you!

Our experience here was perhaps unusual (we are not prior clients of the practice); nonetheless it was excellent. We arrived unannounced on their doorstep immediately after an accident across the street, walking in with a crying toddler with a heavily bleeding head. The staff moved into action instantaneously, finding us a nurse and doctor who carefully and thoroughly examined him, and gave sound counsel for next steps. Drs. Warfield and Sexter gave us attentive care and I wouldn't hesitate to bring my children here if we didn't already have a primary pediatrician. Impressed with the assistance on the part of physicians, nurses and staff when we were in a pinch.

Dr. Warfield has been our kids doctor for about 10 years. We love going to see him! The office is bright, clean & organized. They even have separate waiting rooms for the "healthy" and "sick". Dr. Warfield's bedside manner with our boys is what really sets him apart. He always asks about the usual health questions but he also dives into diet, activity, video games, career aspirations and more. He listens & responds thoughtfully. Really unique experience. I highly recommend Dr. Warfield to all families!

Dr. Long is wonderful and smart. She treated my son for an ear infection and calmed him quickly. She was helpful with explaining the medication and need for follow up. She is never annoyed with multiple questions from a new mother and the staff is so friendly. Calla, Erika and Jennifer RN are wonderful. Carrie and Cynthia always explain everything well and they are open 365 days per year.

I grew up in the area and am back visiting my family for the Thanksgiving holiday. One of my children has been battling a nasty cold or some variety and has been having worsening symptoms since we got here.  After looking around for pediatric urgent care, something we have at our disposal in the area that we live, I realized that it was not a model that seems to exist in this area so started looking for pediatricians that would see us on Thanksgiving day :-/. After looking on line, I came across Spring Valley Pediatrics, called them, and had an appointment within 2 hrs. The receptionist whom I spoke to was very nice and very up front that they don't take insurance so it would be out of pocket (which an urgent care visit or ER visit would be most likely anyway). When I went to hang up the phone, the number actually registered in my phone book as my own pediatrician's office that I had gone to as a child! I hung up and told my mom that I had inadvertently called our old pediatricians office and I was taking my own daughter there.  We had the good fortune of seeing Dr. Sexter (who had the bad fortune of being there on Thanksgiving Day!) She was incredibly kind and great with my daughter who can be quite spirited sometimes. Not only did she see us, but she wrote her a prescription for what seems to be croup and had the ladies at the desk call the prescription to the pharmacy across the street so that we would have it before they closed for Thanksgiving!   Although my own pediatricians are no longer in practice, this pediatrics practice is fantastic - always has been as far as I am concerned as a former patient there for 20 years, and now having my own daughter there some 20 years later. Thank you so much!

As a physician and owner of a medical practice, I can say without reservation that I highly recommend Spring Valley Pediatrics. I am definitely hypercritical of the care delivered by other providers, particularly when it comes to my daughter, as well as with the administrative support within an office. I can honestly say that I've no complaints when it comes to SVP. My daughter sees Dr. Long and my wife and I trust her completely. She has been nothing but superb in the care of our child, ushering us through some scary times, and we feel blessed to have her as our pediatrician!

My daughters (and I) adore Dr. Long! She is so warm, positive, and reassuring - and as an adult observer, I can tell she is also whip-smart. I'm thrilled my girls have her as a role model! As far as the overall practice, Spring Valley is top of the line. They are incredibly accessible and responsive (they're literally open every day of the year). I find the morning call-in hour particularly helpful for when I just have a basic question and I'm not sure whether it warrants a full-on doctor's visit.

We switched to Spring Valley Pediatrics after our old pediatrician in NW DC didn't have the necessary vaccinations for our kids, couldn't fit us in timely and made us wait forever.  Good riddance to them. Spring Valley Pediatrics is amazing. We get seen quickly, we have seen many of the doctors and they are all wonderful and caring and take time to talk with you.  They call us back quickly on holidays when there is an issue.  So glad we switched. Most importantly, our kids love their doctors. I could not recommend them highly enough!

This is an absolutely wonderful practice and all of the doctors are really good.  My first daughter was a preemie (born 2 months early) and it was very comforting to have her in the hands of Dr. McDowell.  My youngest daughter is now there as well and we've received nothing but the very best care for the past 7 years.  The only reason I put four stars instead of five is because of the fact that the office does not accept insurance so the out-of-pocket expenses can add up.  That said, I know that it is exactly because they do not take insurance that they are able to provide such excellent and focused care.
