- We have found the doctor via our friends, she is amazing in everything, but the only think is that the clinic is small and there is only 2 chairs and stairs to go up, the buggy need to leave it at the pharmacy downstairs and go up with the stairs. I suggest to have a bigger clinic
- Dr Pierini is knowledgeable, caring, and professional. She is taking care of my daughter - who has a complex medical picture. She genuinely cares about her patients. Her expert guidance is invaluable and my daughter is thriving. If you need a paediatrician with both expertise and compassion - also for complex cases, I highly recommend Dr Pierini.
- As an American living in London after many years also spent in France and Italy, my views on the type of pediatrician I would like to look after my baby are quite specific. Silvia played a fundamental part in my postpartum recovery, advising on feeding when my baby had issues gaining weight in his first 3 weeks of life. My son is nearly 10 months and she has continued to be excellent in addressing any concerns I and providing regular wellness checkups. I feel fortunate to have found her.
- Amazing thirough check up every single time. Dr. Pierini is very professional & equally very friendly & kind
