the choices for a pediatrician in Palatka are few.

My son has Medicaid (because I adopted him) so the choices for a pediatrician in Palatka are few. So far, I'm quite satisfied Pediatric Associates.

Lynn and Carly are always smiling and know how to distract my daughter to do their job until she notice what has happened.

Lynn and Carly are always smiling and know how to distract my daughter to do their job until she notice what has happened. Kids Care have always been my choice of care for my children. The front desk ladies are always with a smile. I have not had any problems with the office and pray that I don't.

Carly is very attentive and very up-to-date w/ the kids' lingo/trends, which I can appreciate.

We have been patients since 2021. We have always received great care, but because one of my kids now requires regular follow ups we have been to the office very regularly. I want to personally thank Dr. Imam. He's always patient, kind, and very engaging with both my patient kid and my tag-along kid. He answers all their questions and is a good listener. He's a good constant and my kids enjoy going to the appts. Our nurse, Carly is so nice! She's very attentive and very up-to-date w/ the kids' lingo/trends, which I can appreciate. My kids will talk her ear off but she always manages to get all the info and keeps the appointment rolling. Tiffany at the front desk is always sweet and doesn't mind that I always have to ask her to remind me of our next appt. I also really appreciate the after hours appts. I know it's difficult to work late nights but for working parents it's really nice to have those times available.

They dont make you feel like they are in a hurry to get in and out.

I love all of the doctors and nurses! They dont make you feel like they are in a hurry to get in and out. They make you feel at home! We had Ms Wendy this last visit and I felt like my baby was getting a check up done by her grandmother! She was very thorough and sweet as can be. I felt comfortable with her! Can’t always says that :)
