“The pediatrician is very friendly and attentive. The waiting area has a TV and a kids’ table; adding a few toys would make it even better for children during wait times.”

The doctor was excellent. However the facility needs work. There was an incident where something that was hung on the wall, came undone and fell in my foot. My one year old baby touch it. But it wasn’t secure on the wall. I could have have fell on her, instead of my foot. But this was not the worst part, there was a nurse at the front desk that had the nerve to tell me that i needed to keep Better eye on my daughter. First of all, she was not in the room . The comment was uncalled for and insensitive. This facility is unsafe. The one place that should be child prove, a pediatric clinic, .
