I have been bringing my 7 year old here since she was born and the experience was so good that I began taking my 1 year old here too. They are so professional and polite from the doctors to the NPs, nurses, and medical assistants. I am pregnant again and I fully plan on bringing my newest baby here. You won’t be disappointed and if you are just respectfully let them know they will work it out with you because that’s how professional they are.
