Testimonials

This is the BEST pediatricians around. The employees are extremely concerned about what's going on. The doctors take time to introduce themselves and explain everything that's going on with your kids.

My newborn and I have been coming here for only 5 weeks but we love the staff!! Everyone is friendly & helpful. You get the sense of care and concern for every staff member.

If I could give 10 stars I would! The staff is super nice & caring. When Courtney comes in the room I don’t feel rushed, she answers any and all questions that I have & I learn so much from her!

Miss doctor D but we're very satisfied with Doctor Rumsey. He's very dedicated to his work and you can tell he truly loves children.

Rhonda M is absolutely hands down the BEST at what she does. She always returns phone calls, very professional, and so kind. I enjoy our conversations & she is always so happy.

My children have been with this peds group since birth! We absolutely love them!

Best place ever to take my kids.... I have been going there for years and won't take them anywhere else!

Dr. D always goes above and beyond for my kids and others and most importantly shows them Jesus with every action he has. The nurses and the staff are excellent as well. I am so thankful I have them to take care of my babies!!!
