about Our Team
“We always have a great experience when we go there. Every time I call with a sick child, I can always get in fast. Thank you all for taking care of my children. We definitely tell everyone we know about you!! Thank you again!!”
We were bringing our newborn in for a dr visit. The front office staff allowed us the opportunity to wait in the car outside & fill out the necessary paperwork. They also called my husband on his cell phone when it was time for us to go back to see the nurse & doctor. We appreciated this so much because we did not want our newborn to be around anything that could make her sick at 5 days old.
Dr. Gomez and Ms Penninger are amazing providers.
