Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best pediatrician in North County
She has been out family dr for 19 years and I can’t say enough good things about her. She is patient and kind and listens. She is methodical and thorough. She takes the time with each patient and has the most gentle touch. Her nurse Jeannie is awesome too… never once did my child feel pain with a shot. I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Rude and makes you feel like a bad parent
We brought our kid into this doctor as she was on our in-network insurance. We won't be returning, she was rude when it came to my husband not being vaccinated against COVID, proceeded to berede him about how irresponsible that is, stepped back as if offended by HIS PERSONAL CHOICE. She was dismissive and argumentative when we were giving her the details of our daughter being sick.
