What Patients Said
3.9 out of 5 from 44 reviews.
I’ve taken both of my kids to this pediatric office for years, and I can honestly say it has been the single best medical experience our family has ever had. All three doctors are phenomenal — truly exceptional clinicians who are kind, thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely invested in kids’ well-being. You never feel rushed, you always feel heard, and they somehow balance top-tier medical expertise with the warmth of a small-town practice. My kids adore them, and so do I. Not to mention, they also practice holistically.
The entire staff is just the best. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with kindness and calm, and every nurse, admin, and assistant treats you like family. It’s rare these days to find an office where everyone is this consistently welcoming.
And I have to specifically talk about the billing team, because I’ve seen a few comments online that simply do not reflect reality. Their billing is exceptional — clear, organized, and unbelievably easy. They take care of everything for you. Every time I’ve emailed billing over the last five years, they’ve gotten back to me the same day — often within a couple of hours. I’ve never once had an issue, and I’ve had plenty of questions over the years. Everything is kept in writing so there’s always a record, which is exactly how a professional office should run. The idea that they are anything other than efficient and helpful is honestly absurd.
Let’s be honest: an office with 5,000 happy patients doesn’t get 5,000 glowing reviews, because people don’t think to write one when everything is perfect. But if ten people over ten years don’t want to pay their bill or misunderstand how medical billing works, suddenly they leave reviews — and it distorts the picture. That’s not just this office; that’s the internet. And it’s why I wanted to finally write how grateful we are.
We’re moving out of the area now, otherwise we’d stay forever. This office has been a blessing for our family. If I could give 20 stars, I would. Quite simply the best pediatric practice anywhere.

We’ve had an incredible experience with this practice. The doctors are thoughtful, thorough, and genuinely invested in our children’s well-being. Every visit feels unhurried, supportive, and grounded in both modern medicine and a holistic understanding of kids. The staff is kind and responsive, and billing has always been simple, transparent, and stress-free — which is rare these days. It’s such a relief to have a medical home that listens, collaborates, and truly cares. Highly recommend to any parent looking for exceptional pediatric care. I’ve never experienced a medical office as organized and responsive as this one. Every message is answered quickly, follow-up is consistent, and nothing ever feels rushed. They make it incredibly easy to get the care my kids need — whether it’s a same-day concern, a long-term issue, or just reassurance during a tough week. Billing is transparent, straightforward, and always communicated clearly, which is such a relief compared to most pediatric practices.
What sets this team apart is how genuinely they listen. You never feel dismissed or judged. They ask thoughtful questions, consider the whole child, and take time to explain options in a way that feels empowering rather than overwhelming. It’s rare to find doctors who combine deep clinical expertise with this level of humanity — but somehow this practice does it effortlessly.
I recommend this office to every parent I know. If you want a pediatrician who treats your child as an individual, respects parental intuition, and practices medicine with both heart and science, this is where you go. It’s truly a 5-star experience from the front desk to the exam room every single time.

This review consists solely of my personal experience and subjective opinions regarding this practice. It does not purport to state objective facts, make factual assertions, or allege misconduct, illegality, or professional wrongdoing. Any characterizations herein reflect my individual perceptions and impressions based on my own interactions and are not intended to be construed as statements of fact.
I experienced significant billing issues with this medical practice. Charges appeared that I did not understand, and no one took responsibility for providing a clear or straightforward explanation. Each attempt to obtain clarification was met with deflection rather than transparency.
I made multiple good faith attempts to resolve these issues by speaking directly with both the front desk staff and the billing department. Despite these efforts, I was unable to obtain an amicable resolution. In my opinion, my requests were denied without meaningful explanation, and the practice appeared far more focused on collecting payment than on addressing legitimate concerns.
The front desk staff demonstrated a complete lack of accountability regarding billing matters. Rather than engaging in direct discussion or offering real-time solutions, I was repeatedly instructed to handle billing exclusively through email. In my opinion, this created an unnecessary barrier to resolution and made the process needlessly frustrating.
The billing process as a whole felt opaque and difficult to navigate. I left the experience feeling dismissed and worn down rather than assisted. Based on my experience, I do not trust the way this practice handles billing, and I strongly believe current patients should scrutinize every charge carefully.
In my opinion, this is not a practice I would ever choose for a child. I would strongly discourage parents from bringing their children here based on how concerns were handled during my experience.
I am willing to update this review if an amicable resolution is reached.
