needed to find a new pediatrician.

We just moved to the area and needed to find a new pediatrician. Dr. Chiong was very personable and thorough. I have a special needs child and he was able to obtain all the info he needed by observing and asking her questions. She likes him very much and will be happy to see him again.

outstanding - attentive, knowledgeable, and patient.

We recently moved to the area in March, and I was worried about finding quality healthcare for my kids. Luckily, I discovered this exceptional children's clinic when my daughter needed urgent care this morning. From the moment we walked in, the three female staff members were incredibly welcoming and efficient, quickly setting us up in the system. Dr. Tedder, Jessica, was outstanding - attentive, knowledgeable, and patient with my daughter's questions. The care we received was top-notch, and I couldn't be more grateful. If I could give this clinic a 10-star rating, I would! Highly recommended for any family seeking compassionate and expert healthcare.
