Patient Reviews
Mar 13, 2024
My 15 yo daughter has had the same pediatrician since she was two years old with Kaiser. We recently had to switch insurance and we were nervous about meeting a new pediatrician. The doctor beyond exceeded the expectations that my daughter and I had. She was extremely informative and took the time to meet us and explain any concerns my daughter had.
