Dr. Prajapati has been an invaluable asset and resource to our family since our child was born three months ago! We love the concierge service Dr. P provides, as she came to our home for appointments from the time our child was just a few days old through the first few months. This is especially helpful for birth recovery, sleep deprivation, and keeping our child healthy during peak flu season. We recently started going to her office for appointments, which is convenient/centrally located, quiet, and very clean. Being able to go to Dr. P directly to ask questions or hop on a quick phone call has been vital. Her response time to our text messages, photos with questions, and calls has been quick and very helpful in easing our minds (especially as new parents!). This level of attention and response time is not usually what you would get when working with a pediatrician in a large group. She has a very calm, kind, and thoughtful demeanor. No appointment has ever felt rushed; she has always been generous with her time and thorough with her exams. We adore Dr. Prajapati and highly recommend her!Posted on Google![]()

We absolutely love Dr. Prajapati and Starlight Pediatrics! We’ve been with Dr. P since our daughter was 8 weeks old, and the level of care has been exceptional. One of the biggest benefits of Starlight is being able to reach our actual pediatrician whenever we need—no layers of staff, no long waits, just direct, thoughtful support. Dr. P is incredibly caring, responsive, and collaborative. She takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and is amazing with our daughter. We feel genuinely supported as new parents and couldn’t imagine working with anyone else.Posted on Google![]()

Dr. Prajapati is wonderful to work with! I am so grateful she came recommended by my doula. Her business model is well designed to support parents and children with ease, especially during the first few months of a baby’s life; home visits for your little one are invaluable during such a precious time. She is personable and takes the time to get to know you and understand your family and your needs. She was gentle with my baby boy and ensured to prioritize his comfort and contentment throughout her visits and assessments. I happily recommend her to support your family!Posted on Google![]()

We’ve been with Dr. P for over 10 years and have followed her because she’s truly that good. My son is completely comfortable with her, which means everything to us. She has such a calm, kind, and genuinely cool presence that instantly puts both kids and parents at ease. She listens, never rushes, and we always feel heard and cared for. We trust her completely and feel so lucky to have her as our pediatrician. I honestly can’t recommend her enough.Posted on Google![]()

We’ve had a great experience seeing Dr. P. From even before our baby was born she made sure to set up a call and answer any questions we had. I love that she does house visits for newborns because I was basically immobile after giving birth. She comes with all of the equipment needed to measure, weigh and assess the baby. She has always been a phone call away if I have any questions or concerns and she even follows up from time to time to check in on how things are going. You can tell she really cares about her patients and I love that I always leave her appointments with samples! I can’t recommend her services enough, it’s the best choice you can make for your little one.Posted on Google![]()
