My 12 year old daughter has been going to Dr. Kozak for years. This year was very difficult as her…read moredaddy and I just separated. Dr. Kozak knew and our annual wellness visit turned into a very special visit where Dr. Kozak spent so much time talking with my daughter about how my daughter is dealing with all this and her social and emotional well being (also difficult in these tween years). I can not tell you how much I appreciated this thoughtful approach to the whole wellbeing of a child's health. It brought tears to my eyes (and also my daughter's eyes) as Dr. Kozak really honed in on some of her big emotions. I can not recommend Dr. Kozak enough if you want a Dr. that doesn't just look at numbers but actually SEES your child for who they are and how best to support them.

I've been taking my children to this practice since my eldest was born 5 years ago. The office is…read morealways clean and has adorably painted rooms. The staff is helpful and kind. I really like that they will almost always be able to fit me into the schedule at my soonest availability. If someone is not available to answer the phone right away, I will get a call back from an advice nurse. That is a fantastic help to me. We have seen almost all the Pediatricians who practice at this office. I find that they generally are great about spending time with the patient and answering all my parent questions. I never feel pressured by the doctors about our medical decisions.

I was forced to bring my kids to this location after a nasty custody dispute with my ex husband…read moreforced them to change doctors. It was tough going from the only doctors they had ever known to a bran new facility, but we did what we had to do. Getting an appointment was easy, the receptionists aren't overly warm, but I didn't have any rude behaviors or mask drama like many people have reported. They do still require all patients to wear masks, and when we forget them they quietly hand us all a mask and we go in. The office is older but clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are clean and always stocked which is nice. They don't have books or toys which isn't an issue for me, but for parents looking for distractions you might want to pack a few. There is a fun fish tank in each office to keep little eyes entertained while you sign in or fill out paperwork. Our kids have seen Dr Turner who I was pleasantly surprised with. She was calm and had a very welcoming demeanor which made it easier for my kids to warm up to. She took her time listening to them and addressing the concerns they had. We never felt rushed or unheard in her presence. On one occasion my son thought it would be funny to put a piece of fake dog poop on the chair as a prank. When she walked in she totally rolled with it and was so silly with him. She scored extra points for that!! She places orders quickly and is easy to contact which is also really nice. All of the nurses/LVNs have been amazing. They take their time and really practice patient centered care. One nurse even did breathing exercises with my daughter when she was panicked. It was beautiful to see and warmed my momma heart. One issue I did have, which is why I removed a star, is there don't seem to be any systems in place for victims of abuse. This is very concerning especially when children might be accompanied by an abuser and they are unable to advocate for themselves with the person in the room. Other than that I recommend this place.

FIVE full stars for Dr. Conrad who was WONDERFUL, just accommodating and great with my child. Dr…read moreis truly friendly, answered all questions and even better, my child was not scared of her. The office/ staff (Adrianna/ Elsa and the office ladies) are so sweet so this place is great. Clean, new, perfect all around. NOW- this is just my experience but other reviews seem to say the same here...i was NOT happy with DR. AMY LAU. i did NOT have a great experience with her bc she "questioned" why i decided to wait a bit on the vaccines for my child. wanted to know "what's your reason, WHYYYYY??" I was truly taken aback. Soon after, I got a very RUDE vibe, just cold and unwelcoming which is why i quickly changed to Dr. Conrad who is AWESOME. Even though my first experience with Amy Lau was 1 star, Dr. Conrad's visit with her and the staff made me very happy that I found the perfect doctor for my child. Thank you guys!

This headache with insurance is all because of how inept the billing staff is. How many times do…read moreyou have to call the office about updated insurance? How many times do you need to remind them when you stop by the office? How many messages in the portal need to be sent before they figure it out?

As I write this in a new city and state trying to find a new doctor for my baby, I think of my…read moreson's first and only pediatrician and almost get emotional. This has truly been the best office and everyone from the staff to the doctor to the nurse practitioner have been beyond caring, attentive, helpful, and supportive. I initially chose this office due to location but I truly lucked out. As we all know finding a great doctor is so hard, let alone trusting one for our new babies. As a first time mother, it was nerve wrecking to go to the doctors after my son was in the NICU for weeks and daunting to be around doctors again. Then I met this wonderful office and everything changed. I truly looked forward to visiting and bring my son. I wish we could have stayed but unfortunately had to move out of state. I truly want to thank Dr. Patel for her efficiency. I want to thank Katie and staff in front for all their hard work and truly running such a well organized and great environment. You will not find a more caring and kind office staff. When my son first visited and was a crying wreck, I was too and so overwhelmed and Katie came to rock my son's car seat and calm him down while I finished all the paperwork. I will never forget that. I also especially want to thank the nurse practitioner Elizabeth. She is truly one of a kind and I wish my son could've been seen by her as he grows up. She is always attentive, remembers your every detail, and truly such a warm hearted and wonderful person. Not only was she the best person for my son to see, but I looked forward every Friday visit just to see her because she truly encouraged me and always gave me the affirmation and boost I needed to hear as a new mom. She has no idea how much I needed to hear her words of encouragement and the feeling I was doing something right after I left her appointments. I truly cannot praise her enough. If you are lucky enough to live in the area and in need of finding a remarkable and caring peditrician, office staff, and safe and trusting environment for your child, you have found your place. They treat you with the same care and love they would for their own kids and there is nothing more you could ask for in life. Everyone makes you feel like you are the only patient and remembers you and your child's name. I cannot recommend another office more highly than this one. Thank you all for your kindness and professionalism. You put a first time mom at ease every single visit.

I asked her a bunch of questions and she knew exactly what was going on before I could even finish my sentences. She even read the current history for my son during his stay at the hospital. She knew what shots and treatments he was given! I didn't have to update her with anything!! Before the appointment, my sons umbilical cord came off and I was very paranoid. She told me not to worry, and not to clean it with anything. Just to let it dry. Then she recommended me to start tummy time with my son! How awesome!! I also busted out my phone with a list of questions such as his jaundice situation, his tiny stork bite, etc. Overall, the doc saw me quick and easy. This is all during the corona virus pandemic too! She even told me to ask her questions online via my chart if anything comes up! Now I can visit the doctor virtually! Haha how awesome! Pick this doctor. You won't go wrong! Also, she is able to speak Vietnamese for those of you who prefer viet pediatricians!

She's friendly, playful, and makes my kid feel comfortable, which I really appreciate. Unfortunately, the front desk staff has consistently been the opposite. They often seem more interested in chatting and giggling with each other than acknowledging patients. During our last visit, one employee was training a new hire, and instead of speaking to us directly, she kept saying things like, "Ask them if they..." while standing right in front of us. It came across as dismissive and unprofessional. Another ongoing issue is communication. No matter the situation, I can never seem to get a call back. It's frustrating. The medical care itself has been good, but the front desk could definitely benefit from additional customer service and communication training.

I'm very sad that I can only give it five stars here at most, because I think Dr.Lee deserves a…read moreten-star rating. Even more and perfect. Let me just say this firstly: I guarantee with my own integrity that you will not find a better doctor in this area! Without comparison to other doctors, you might never know how good he is. My daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor because of my mother's language barrier, but my son has been seeing Dr. Lee all the time! I'd always had a very good impression of him with my son because he always came to see us very quickly whenever I went to his clinic. First, the waiting time was very short, and second, he was incredibly patient. He answered all my questions very seriously and wasn't in a hurry to leave. I often asked really silly questions, but he always answered them patiently! Believe me, if it were any other doctor, they would have left long ago! Everyone's time is precious. If you can find a doctor like Dr. Lee who is willing to explain any details to you, you must cherish that. His professionalism and knowledge are beyond question. He always manages to pinpoint the problem accurately. Just a very simple example: When my son had a stomachache, I took him to other doctors, and they recommended an X-ray. But Dr. Lee told me that many children have stomach aches due to constipation. I later discovered that every time he complained of stomach pain, he would ask to go to the toilet. Of course, there are many other examples like Dr. Lee,who is exceptionally gentle and attentive when administering vaccines. Compared to other doctors who can even apply bandages crookedly. He never over-treats, and he never creates anxiety for you. No other doctor can compare to him in this respect! As I mentioned, my daughter has been seeing a Chinese-speaking doctor, but recently she caught the flu. Yesterday, Friday, I called her doctor, who very indifferently and barely answered some questions. Today, my daughter has a fever, and because it's the weekend, I couldn't contact them at all to offer any help. I had no choice but to leave a message to Dr. Lee. I really didn't expect him to reply to both of my messages, the second one even at almost 10 pm without any paid! This isn't even within his job description. He could have easily refused to help me. But because of his kindness and his genuine concern for children's , he chose to help. He told me because my son is his patient so he likes to help our family. Of course, I need to immediately transfer my daughter to Dr. Lee's .There's no need to see any other doctor, even if it means communicating in English. I remember asking Dr. Lee before, "Why don't you accept insurance premiums?" Because he doesn't, many people would seek out doctors who do. He told me he didn't want to spend time arguing with insurance companies; he wanted to spend his time seeing and taking care of patients, that's exactly what he did. I'm glad he did that because if he took insurance, his clinic would probably be the busiest in the area. He only charges 100 for a consultation, unlike many places where it's 300. This proves that he genuinely wants what's the best for the children and helping children, not just making money. I realized long ago that my child was more important than $100. I preferred not to go through insurance because when you encounter crucial problems, you realize it was absolutely worth it.

As new parents, there are undoubtedly many challenges, and having an excellent doctor as our support has made the world of difference. With Dr Curitore, we can see/feel she's someone that is truly passionate about her work and genuinely cares about the well being of her patients. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, caring, and friendly. We love her bedside manners and can tell our child loves to be seen by her as evident in the exuberant smiles every time (this is contrary to my initial belief that children loathe going to the doctors, haha!). In addition, as there were some unforeseen situations requiring engagement with Dr Curitore, we consulted with her multiple times via the St Joseph app and she is so thorough with her explanation every single time and we appreciate her responsiveness!

Navigating today's healthcare systems can be daunting, but Dr. Curitore not only provides the guidance needed but also proactively steps in as a strong ally to overcome or bypass obstacles. Dr. Curitore exemplifies what it means to be a child's healthcare advocate - something parents don't really know they need - until they need it.
