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.

Horrible doctor. Stay away. Doesn't listen to the kids concerns.

Stay Away!
I had the misfortune of seeing this provider for my children twice. So, I know it was not a one off thing. She is always available for a reason! Stay away! I would give -2 stars if I could.

Awful Pediatrician. Don't waste you time and money
I would not recommend her to anyone with babies or kids because of her attitude and inability to feel empathy and clearly explain the root cause of specific issues with the child's condition. IMO, I think she does not like being asked why or being questioned. All parents can ask why certain things are happening to their kids, and she does not clearly explain other than just uncomfortably staring at the patient's parents. The most egotistical pediatricians I have ever seen.

We met Dr. Crosby multiple times in the past with our son, whom she claimed he never had ear infection. We met with another physician and he was able to diagnose our son in no time with ear infection! We also consulted her with our daughter who had a very high fever for extended period of time, she led us leave her office with the 'keep monitoring' excuse. In the end when she had to do something about the obvious problem she directed us to urgent care! Never again!

Dr. Crosby has been an excellent doctor and resource of information for our children's medical needs. We started seeing her back in 2010 with the arrival of our first child and now she sees all of for of our children, including our newborn. We are grateful for her knowledge and find her trustworthy, friendly and easy to understand in addressing our medical concerns. Her nurse/medical assistant, Denise, is beyond sweet with the kids, punctual and organized.

Dr. Crosby met with me when I was pregnant with my first child and now my older child is 11 and my younger 8. She has always been knowledgeable, patient and kind. I highly recommend her. She makes my children feel comfortable and I love knowing that they are in good hands.
