Dr. Mariam Aboukar DO

I had a fantastic experience with Kayla at Boston Children’s Hospital! (Floor BR , PCP ) From the moment I walked in, she greeted us with a warm and welcoming smile, immediately putting us at ease. Kayla was incredibly professional, attentive, and made sure that we had all the information we needed for our visit. She went above and beyond to answer our questions, and her patience and kindness with my family made all the difference. It’s clear that Kayla genuinely cares about the well-being of patients and their families. Thank you, Kayla, for making our experience so smooth and stress-free

As much as I hear how good this organization is couldn’t be far from the truth. For reference I do not live near this hospital. However I was willing to commute out of my state to help my child. Short summary my son has had feeding issues sense he was a NB. He is now 20 months old and his main nutrition is still only milk. Now at this age it is not normally for a child to just want milk. Yes we’ve done feeding therapy with just about everyone in my area. Yes his been to multiple feeding specialists and G.I. Doctors. I spoke to someone here and left a message. Surprise no one ever followed up with me. I’m more angry that the so called doctor I talked to told me he would ask one of his other colleagues in reference to trying to get my son seen. Thanks so much for not helping me. Sincerely a very defeated and angry mom.

They saved my granddaughter's life. She had endocardial cushion defect. They repaired her heart. We were back home in 2 weeks. Boston Children's Hospital is the best. If you have been told that your baby needs a heart transplant. They might be able to repair the heart without a transplant. No matter where you live, it will be worth the trip.

It is truly impossible to get in contact with my children’s physicians. You call and wait and wait then leave a call back number, but no one ever calls you back. I send messages on the portal but I never get a response. It took 8 business days for someone to get in touch with me. The doctors are phenomenal but if I can’t actually contact them in a timely manner, what’s the point? I am currently in the process of switching my children’s specialists over to MGH.

Her whole team is amazing! They all explained each part of surgery and answered all questions. The best part is once it was over, my son called his grandparents to let them know how it went. They asked if he was nervous before surgery. He said he was very nervous but after talking to the nurses, the anesthesiologist, and Dr Vuillermin all his nervous feelings went away. They are funny and honest. The anesthesiologist had us cracking up prior to surgery. We felt extremely comfortable with Dr Vuillermin performing the surgery from the first time we met her.
