As first-time parents, we truly couldn’t have asked for a better pediatrician. From day one, Dr. P has been an incredible source of knowledge, reassurance, and support as we’ve navigated all of the uncertainty that comes with having a new baby. What sets Dr. P apart is her unmatched availability. Whether it’s a late-night text, a weekend question, or a holiday concern, Dr. P always responds promptly. Knowing that we can reach her when we’re worried has given us so much peace of mind. She never makes us feel like we’re asking too many questions or being overly anxious, in fact, she always takes the time to listen, explain, and reassure us with kindness and patience. Her concierge model is worth every penny because it allows us to feel supported every step of the way. Beyond being an exceptional physician, she genuinely cares about her patients and their families, and that comes through in every interaction. We are so grateful to have her caring for our son and can’t recommend her highly enough to any family, especially first-time parents looking for a pediatrician who is knowledgeable, compassionate, and truly always there when you need her. Five stars simply aren’t enough.Posted on Google![]()

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!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
