The staff at this clinic went above and beyond for my visit... and my sons. We love the friendly receptionist who was very kind to answer all questions. The MA was so sweet and took my concerns to heart and treated me more like family than just another person coming in. Dr. Childs was more than amazing, he took time to go over everything I needed, my concerns, and he really gave me options to help improve my quality of life. I’m so happy to have found an amazing primary care giver and the amazing staff that work with him! Thank you for going above and beyond!read more
