We came from pediatrics at Witlock since they closed operations. We could not be more satisfied. They are super attentive, fast, and accurate, and the nurses are very nice, especially Ms. Jocelyn. Dr. Hari is a very passionate, knowledgeable, and professional provider. The front desk is always pleased to answer any questions or concerns. We are very pleased to have become part of the Sun Pediatrics community.
Ear Irrigation
Overview
Gentle Ear Irrigation for Kids
Does your kid experience hearing problems? Or he or she suffers from ear pain? Chances are they have excessive ear buildup. Let us help them with our safe ear irrigation services.
What is Ear Irrigation?
Ear irrigation refers to the process of removing excess earwax, foreign materials, and cerumen from the ear. The ear produces wax to lubricate and safeguard the ear as well as to restrict the entry of debris and prevent bacterial growth.
However, sometimes the excessive secretion of earwax or hardened earwax can lead to ear blockage, causing pain, ringing in the ear, or temporary loss of hearing. Apart from the buildup of wax, sometimes foreign elements like insects, food, debris, or small stones enter the ear. These objects are also removed by ear irrigation.
If wax buildup is the problem, a syringe-like tool will be used by your GP to insert water or saline mixture into the ear to flush out the buildup. Besides, ear drops are available at the pharmacy to remove ear wax at home although you should see your doctor if it doesn’t work.
When to See A Pediatrician?
You should visit your pediatrician if an OTC medication for ear wax removal doesn’t work. Also consult your pediatrician if your kid experiences dizziness, deafness, ringing in the ear, or pain in the ear.
Caution: Don’t use cotton buds in your kid’s ear as they can push the wax deeper and even lead to complications in the ear canal or drum.
Ensuring Easy, Affordable, and Pain Free Ear Irrigation Services
We assess the patient’s ear canal and integrity of the tympanic membrane before conducting the process to choose the best method to clean the ear. Our specialists use advanced measures to carry out the process.

Samantha A.
We just got custody of three beautiful children and have been very stressed about taking them to the doctors. We quickly got an appointment, and they helped us set up everything we needed because we had no clue what we were doing. My husband took them and said it was very nice and professional. Afterwards, I actually got a call from Dr. Meenakshi Hari and she told me everything that happened and gave me some updates about needing shots. I am so happy we found this place for our kids, I know they are in great hands.
Pooja N.
We’ve been taking our son and daughter here for about eight years now and the doctors (Dr Hari , Dr Charlotte and Dr Faith ) are always so nice and thorough. The front office staff have been very helpful in getting appointments at desired locations quickly and on time. We definitely recommend this place to every new parent as they take care of our kids as their own.
Courtney A.
I have taken 2 kids here for almost 5 years. The staff is always kind and welcoming. The providers we have seen (Faith, Dr. Hari, Charlotte) have all been excellent and spend a lot of time answering my questions. We have always been able to get same-day appointments when sick. My kids feel comfortable here and don’t mind going to the doctor!
Jayesh M.
Fantastic experience! Dr. Hari and her team were welcoming, efficient, and caring. The office was clean, and my 1.5-year-old felt at ease throughout the visit. They took the time to address our concerns and provide valuable insights. On top of that, their after-hours service is also super responsive. Highly recommend for excellent pediatric care!
Kristina J.
Dr. Faith Jean-Louis is amazing! She’s been my daughter’s pediatrician since birth. The nurses are also amazing, they always take great care of my girl.
Oliver S.
My two youngest children have been seen by this practice multiple times. We love everything about the doctors and how easy it is to get same-day sick appointments. Prescriptions are sent immediately, and we get in and out on busy days as well. Never had an issue, and my kids will continue to come here as long as the same doctors are here. Best doctors in this area. Saturday appointments are available!!! Perks for working families.
Roopesh N.
Before Sun Pediatrics, my kids’ old doctor had us waiting at least 30 minutes, plus I paid for parking! I love that the doctors here are practical and focus on treatments that work, often recommending a combination of remedies and dietary changes instead of immediately reaching for prescriptions. I’ve been coming here for four years, and I’m so happy with the care my kids receive. I wholeheartedly recommend Sun Pediatrics to any parent!
