Dr. K is the very best with our child and we say it every time!
Dr Kissinger is an outstanding, compassionate, knowledgeable physician. she is kind respectful and approachable.
The Dr was amazing and I will be asking for her at upcoming appointments.
Love this location. Wish UPMC would take highmark insurance because I hate to leave it.
nothing but good experiences working with this provider.
I LOVE DR. KISSLINGER!!!!!!!!!!! She is amazing. She is the absolute best and she really, really helped my son with his anxiety. If I could give her an award for Best Dr., I would.
very patient with the kids (as I brought all 3), and made the kids feel comfortable
Always a good experience. Dr. Kisslinger is extremely helpful and always kind.
Dr. Kisslinger is wonderful; she is thorough, understanding, and listens.
Dr. Kisslinger is the doctor you can trust your child s health.
Dr. Kisslinger is the best doctor I have ever had for myself or my kids. She is so thorough and seems to genuinely care about my child, and about the whole health of my child.She takes her time, I have never felt rushed. She carefully listens to questions and never makes me feel silly for asking anything that might concern me. She is truly just THE BEST.
Dr. Kisslinger has been our child's pediatrician from birth. She knows our daughter and listens to her better than any provider she sees. She feels comfortable talking to Dr. Kisslinger about physical and emotional concerns she has. My husband and I know that our kids are in good hands with Dr. Kisslinger.
I'm very happy to have dr like her to take care of my daughter

I love Dr Kisslinger. She is very thorough, does her homework about my kids' histories, and is very good with my kids.
Dr Kisslinger is exceptional
wait times are always too long
we love Dr Kisslinger very through with our family and always happy to see our girls
Dr. Kisslinger is an amazing professional. Because of her compassion and the respectful way in which she talks to my son, he's developed sa great respect for her and is completely comfortable with asking questions. More importantly, he truly values her opinion.
Thank for Dr. Kisslinger's help, she is caring, patient and professional.

Dr. Kisslinger shows personal care and attention every time, remembering details about my child and showing genuine care. I very much appreciate her work.
Dr. Kisslinger is a fantastic pediatrician. I never feel rushed through my daughters appointments and she is great at working with my daughters timid nature. we always look forward to seeing her for well visits.
I absolutely love Dr. Kisslinger! She really cares about the wellbeing of my children.
Dr. Kissinger is a wonderful doctor. She has excellent bedside manner, asks thoughtful and insightful questions and explains what is going on in an easy to understand way. She and her staff and always kind and respectful. I recommend Dr. Kissinger and her office to all of my friends and family.
We waited 51 minutes in the waiting room. We were then sent to a small room with supplies and a supply closet in it, so the nurse could take vitals. After a few mins we were sent to an actual room and within a few minutes the Dr came in. The waiting room wait was ridiculous. My daughters had appointments at 3:00 and 3:30 and we weren't called back till 3:51.
She was thoughtful with her questions and answers. She was genuinely concerned in the interest of my child.
Dr. Kisslinger was wonderful! She really took her time discussing my concerns about my son, and she included him in our conversation. She was so incredibly patient and understanding and really gave some wonderful suggestions!
this was our first visit for our newborn and our first child. we loved the visit and felt everything went very well
very good provider
Dr. Kisslinger is a wonderful physician and treats the kids and parents with very much respect. She is a great professional and caring person.
We love this pediatric office and Dr Kissinger! I am so happy we switched to this practice from our previous medical office! The whole experience for my children from the moment we walk in the door, until we leave is enjoyable. I would recommend this practice to anyone.
excellent time
Dr. Kissinger was wonderful! Always pleasant, patient, and kind.
we really trust Dr. K and she has a terrific manner with Keller
excellent doctor. would recommend in a heartbeat!
very thorough and respectful doctor
Dr. Kisslinger is wonderful and explains everything in terms that kids can understand.
We consistently have excellent interactions with Dr. Kissinger and I appreciate her care and expertise
Always very helpful and knowledgeable all around at this office!
Excellent office; Always available for questions; Staff seem to be happy and interact well with patients and families; Physicians and NP's caring and do great work
This was a well-child visit for my child and we have routinely met with this provider for visits like this in the past. Previously, the doctor would speak to my daughter alone to ask questions and provide her with time to express concerns privately. During this visit, the doctor seemed very rushed, did not offer the alone time, and left the room on two occasions to take other calls. I don't believe my daughter actually had anything to share with the doctor but I believe the doctor should still offer the service and time despite how busy she may be with other patients.
Absolutely love Dr. Kisslinger and will continue to go back to her. She has a way of explaining things in a very gentle and supportive manner.
Dr. Kisslinger was such a great listener and really took the time to understand what concerns I had regarding my son.
I only wish that she could be my child's provider for life!!
she was so wonderful! made me feel so comfortable and made me feel as if I was her only appointment that day.
Great experience, appointment was handled in a timely manner.
I have been very pleased with her the few times we have interacted. She listens well and asks good follow up questions to make sure she understands concerns and is very thorough.
First time I met Dr. Kisslinger - loved her! Glad I picked her to be my children's PCP.
very happy with Dr Kisslinger so happy with everyone in the office
Dr Kisslinger is by far the best pediatrician a family could ask for.
Dr. Kisslinger has been the pediatrician for my three children for the past 18 years. She is caring, patient and very thorough. She always has time to answer any questions and give explanations. I can't imagine my children having a better pediatrician.
The provider answered very thoroughly the child's questions, and gave good advice and information about those issues that came up. There was, however, no time to talk with the doctor without the child present. This prevented being able to ask questions about his health that I didn't want to say in front of my child. My concerns, therefore, went unanswered, unfortunately.
Dr. Kisslinger is an amazing, caring and wonderful pediatrician.
Dr. Kisslinger us wonderful . She listens to our concerns. She is very kind and so helpful.
Dr Kisslinger is exemplary. She is an exceptionall care provider.
Abdolutely love Dr. Kisslinger, which is why we always go to her for appointments.
Excellent providers and practice as a whole. Have been going to this practice for many years, maybe 18 or so.
Dr. K never seems like she is in a rush (even though I'm sure she is) and spends time with my son and answers all of my questions thoroughly.
Dr. Kisslinger took sufficient time to diagnose my daughter's problem. She was patient with my family as little brother attended the appointment as well. She showed respect for us and listened. She was not presumptuous, but went back to research the appropriate protocol for my daughter's treatment.
this was a mental health visit and Dr. Kisslinger was excellent. very compassionate
The doctor was very nice in treating for my newborn. She made sure she was comfortable and got taken care of properly. She made sure she was completely okay. She also answered all my questions I had. She even let me take my time to stay and finish up all paperwork.
we love dr. kisslinger! she always takes her time, answers questions and makes my girls feel calm.
Doctor was very accurate in her explanations and caring with my child
We love Dr Kisslinger. She always takes time with us and I feel like she really cares about my kids.
I feel that she sometimes minimizes the concerns I have about my child's health.
Dr. Kissinger was thorough and knowledgeable and KIND. She paid extra attention to make sure both my son and I were treated respectfully and had all questions answered. My 8 year old commenented that she talked specifically to him and not just to me. It meant a lot to him.
Dr. Kisslinger is the best doctor because she takes the time to make sure all of my questions are answered. She has the most helpful suggestions when it comes to my childrens' health.
great service!
Very professional and straight forward.
dr kisslinger is always very thorough and very kind.
she' very good
Dr. Kisslinger is the best doctor I could ever ask for regarding my children's well being. She takes the time to explain things and also shows genuine compassion for my children.
All went smoothly. Have had prior LONG waits for general checkup but NOT this time.
Victoria Kisslinger is an excellent provider. My kids always enjoy seeing her and feel very comfortable talking to her and answering questions.
When I called the answering service, I did not have anyone call me back so I called in the morning to have my child seen. This doctor is the absolutely best doctor ever for my children and I recommend her to everybody!
We love Dr. K! She has a wonderful way of calming parenting concerns and makes her answers very easy to understand. She always has good advice/ "tricks" for infants!
Dr. Kisslinger is very thorough and caring. she is wonderful!
all good, nothing bad
Great experience,as always!! We did need to wait about 20minutes for the doctor to see us, as there was ALOT of walk in patients. This was a time issue for me and my work schedule, but understandable, I guess...
We have consistently had excellent experiences her, she's terrific
Dr Kisslinger always makes us feel as if we she is totally focused on us during our visit and takes our concerns seriously. Her responses are always very well thought out and she always makes us feel as if she is doing everything possible to respond to our needs.
very trustworthy office, thank you!
Most joyful experience with Dr. Kisslinger, my daughter loves her.
this was our first walk in visit during walk in hours and everyone was friendly and courteous and took good care of our boy.
listens very well
Dr. Kisslinger was amazing an helped us get seen immediately due to an unexpected family death and made sure our newborn was healthy enough to attend as well as give us advice on how to keep him healthy.
Dr. G and Dr. K are amazing pediatricians! It's a shame that they have absorbed all of Dr. Lanz'a and Spahrs clientele making the wait time in the office excruciating for parents and children.
This experience was fantastic. The doctor was extremely thorough and informative.
dr Kisslinger is the absolute best. she is so caring and gentle and kind. we love her!
Excellent visit! All of my questions were answered well by Dr. Kisslinger and she devoted a lot of time to addressing my concerns.
Dr Kisslinger was in a hurry. So unlike her. Usually she is very deliberate and thorough. we did wait 20 to 25 minutes to go in so I think she was trying to make up time.
Dr. Kislinger was wonderful in how she interacted with my 1 year old.. got down in her level, very gentle, didn't seem to be in a hurry
Dr. Kisslinger is an amazing physician. The amount of care and tenderness she demonstrates toward my 9-month old is incredible. She is patient with him, uses a reassuring voice, and explains each thing that she is doing - whether it's looking in his ears or listening to his heartbeat. She allows his to see each instrument before using to be sure he is comfortable with what is happening. I appreciate the amount of respect that she shows to me and my son so much. I cannot speak highly enough of her. Please be sure to relay these thoughts to her. Thank you.
The nurse quickly administered my babies shots and showed a lot of concern for his comfort. My son's doctor is very compassionate and motherly. She answers all of my questions with detailed answers and provides recommendations that work well. My husbsnd and I are very grateful that we found such a great pediatrician for our son.
We look ve Dr. Kissinger and can't imagine going anywhere else for our daughter's medical care. Dr Kissinger is Gentle, thorough, and is always willing to take as much time as needed to have an actual conversation about my child's healthcare and well-being.
We love Dr Kisslinger she is so sweet, and so thorough.
My daughters are always treated and cared for when they visit CCP Mount Lebanon. Our concerns are always their top priority.
Dr. Kisinger is amazing. You feel like she has a genuine concern about my children and is great with them. A++
