“My daughter's experience with this doctor and her practice was phenomenal. This is primarily because of the nurses who went above and beyond to calm my daughter down so that her blood could be drawn. Two of them had trouble locating a vein, and they not only sang Britney Spears and danced for my daughter, but they had the wisdom to call in other support to take over attempting to find a vein to get blood from. Luckily, the third person to try (Carol) was able to do so. I am extremely happy with our experience and appreciative of the care the women in this office showed my daughter. Thank you!”

“I already recommended her to my friends who have little ones. She was super patient, took her time with us as first time parents, was educational and was supportive. Despite my lengthy list of questions, she answered each one with patience and total guidance. We’re so thankful we found her! ”

Dr. Sussmann spent a lot of time getting to know us and our baby on our first visit. She had helpful tips to improve our baby’s sleep and went through everything thoroughly and thoughtfully. We are so glad to have found her!
Verified patient
Dr. Sussman is awesome. After a bad experience with our last pediatrician, Dr. Sussman made us realize what we had been missing. She created a thorough mental health plan for my son and spent about an hour reviewing his history and concerns with us. She even gave him permission to call her himself if he ever needed anything. She is truly the epitome of what a great bedside manner looks like, caring, informative and respectful.

So far we have a good impression.
Dr. Sussmann was everything I was looking for when switching practices for our 7 month old daughter. She is warm and gentle with my daughter, patient and flexible with me, and up to date on the latest research and recommendations. She gave us a lot of time and offered practical advice on flu shots, starting solids, and sleeping. I'm very happy with our experience with Dr. Sussmann and the rest of the staff in her office.
Dr. Sussmann was very thorough, explain everything in great details, tried all possible tests before diagnosis. Very happy with this doctor and the team.
Verified patient
Dr. Sussman was very attentive with my daughter. She spent a good amount of time going over previous lab results and goals for our next visit.
