“Although it was a bit of a commute to get to for me personally, it was worth it and not difficult to find at all. The place is small and convenient. The waiting room is nice with toys and seating. We were seen right away. The doctor and staff were super sweet and kind. I made a follow-up appointment there for the next visit. I highly recommend. ”
