  • How quickly will the doctor call me back if there is a non-life threatening medical emergency?
  • Do the doctors and staff make your visit comfortable and professional while also providing your child with compassionate, unique care that isn’t rushed?
  • How easily can you make appointments on short notice for sore throats, ear infections, etc.?
