My sons have been patients here since 2006. They have always been friendly, nice, informative. Dr. Kennedy went above and beyond to find out what was wrong with my youngest, it took a year but she kept pushing to find what was up.

The fact that someone is ALWAYS on call is vital to us and not something you get at most Doctors offices these days. I've been told by a bunch of friends that they get told at their kids peditrician's office is "if it's not during office hours you have to go to the E.R." When you have a child with a rare condition that is not something you want to hear.
As far as the not allowing a patient to come with non custodial parent or guardian. Only those who have legal custody have the authority to allow shots and other treatments. I'm sure this got started because a step parent or boyfriend/girlfriend of a custodial parent or a non custodial parent okayed something that the person with custody did not agree to. This is just like how you can't get a passport for your child unless each parent is there and okays it in person. read more
