“Dr. Baskind had our 6-year-old son talking with him very naturally; right off the bat at his first-time visit! Whereas in almost every other situation our son is very shy and will not answer questions right away. Dr. Baskind has a fantastic bedside manner that put my son at ease and the annual physical appointment went very well. The office is really nice and everyone that works there is very friendly. Thank you for such a pleasant experience!”
