“My son has been seeing Dr. Fuchs since he was born. For the past 16 years, Dr. Fuchs has been wonderful. Very caring and helpful. Takes time with the patient during their appointments, doesn’t rush you out. ”
Joseph G.April 22, 2025
“Got there early for my appointment, was taken quickly, but waited for over an hour. I think they forgot about us, because the nurse told me there was just one patient before me. At about the 45 min mark of waiting, was told again I was next, then after the hour, nurse came in and said it would at least another 20 min before my son was being see. I think she just completely forgot about us and was covering herself, Dr Fucks is amazing, only reason I will stay! If she was upfront I would have not walked out..I never got to see him.”

Love him
August 15, 2019Anita C.Verified patient
Dr. Fuchs is great. He is personable and seems to really like what he does. He usually asks more than once if I have any questions and takes the time to listen and then answer thoroughly and precisely. I have never felt rushed - you know, like he needs to get out of the room to get on to the next patient - and that says a lot about him.

Dr. Fuchs is one of the best. Been seeing him since my kids were babies.... and he always comes in the room singing. Makes my kids laugh and is very thorough. Highly recommend!!!
August 22, 2018Joseph G.Verified patient
I like Dr. Fuchs, because when I ask a question, he gives me an explanation I could understand. He comes into the room smiling and singing which puts my children at ease. What I like more about Dr. Fuchs, he is very attentive to my kids, he’s not on his computer while he’s asking the questions. I have changed my primary pediatrician to Dr. Fuchs, because my kids want to go to him and their not afraid. Especially when they get their shots. Thank you Dr. Fuchs.
