She did a quick removal of a stub in my daughter's ear with no fuss. She's professional, personable, and doesn't hide behind a white coat. I always look forward to my daughters appointments.

I just have to tell the world about how much my family and I LOVE Dr. Birdsall!!! I believe that…read morefinding a good doctor is extremely hard these days. So many "referral services" can only tell you about a doctor's credentials or what insurance they accept, like check boxes on a form. They give you no idea about whether the doctor is a good doctor or not. There is no check box on a form for "great personality" or "Good bedside manner." I am so thrilled that we finally found a great pediatrician that we can trust and feel comfortable with. I just don't think doctors like Dr. Birdsall exist anymore and that is why we feel so extremely fortunate to have found her. Our first visit with Dr. Birdsall was for our oldest son's school sports physical. I loved that she told us about herself and that she seemed genuinely interested in getting to know our family. I also noticed that she smiled and laughed a lot while interacting with my son. You can tell that she really loves her job and cares about her patients. My son really liked Dr. Birdsall too, and he didn't mind the examination and a shot. During our visit, I felt like I really got to know Dr. Birdsall and I found her to be a super genuine and open-minded person. Also, one time I called the office with a question and instead of my call being transferred to a nurse, it was transferred to Dr. Birdsall. I've never had a doctor take my calls before. That's normally fine because I know that doctors are busy but I am just so impressed by the personal service that Dr. Birdsall offers. The doctor's office is also really nice too. It is clean and very child friendly. Everyone we met in the office was very helpful and efficient. They know what they are doing! You don't find that everywhere. Anyways, if you haven't been able to find the right pediatrician for your family, you should definitely make an appointment with Dr. Birdsall. We are so happy that we did!

If ever my daughter is ill I'm usually able to be seen same day. If I am not see by Dr. Mostaghasi I get to see the NP, Bridget. Bridget is also great. She was the first to notice my youngest needed some extra developmental help. I'm so grateful for her noticing this for me. This practice is wonderful for your kids. I would highly recommend!

A very humble and kind doctor that is very rare these days. The staff are also amazing! they all welcome us like if we were family with a big smile! When ever anyone is looking for a pediatrician I always refer them to her because I know that she takes my kid health and well being as seriously as I do. And I'm glad I was able to find an amazing, loving, caring, doctor like her.

I am also bummed that she is closing her practice. I was only able to interact with her a few…read moretimes. After multiple medical errors over the years by other doctors, that many doctors refused to properly document, she took the effort to review my records and provide the most accurate medical record that I have had since the first error in 2010- proving to be the most ethical doctor I have ever interacted with. It takes a special person to stand up against the flow in medical systems. She is that type of person. The type that would stand up and say that is wrong. Ethical enough not to work for system that were no aligned with her ethical integrity. A very rare find. She even found the root cause of the of the issues that were missed for years along with doing a very thorough GI work up-greatly improving symptoms and lessening risk damaging other organs. Noting that I have been going to a Functional Medicine GI doctor and did not have such a thorough GI work up. I wish her the best and hope that everything is ok with her. We are not sure why she ended up closing her practice, I hope everything is good, but rating her closing her practice is not rating her as the excellent doctor she is. I wish that someone as smart and ethical as her would be filling the space-but that isn't happening-sadly.

So bummed she is closing her practice because she is the best PCP (if not one of the best doctors)…read moreI've had! I started seeing Dr. Michaud last year after my former FNP (and awful GI doc) ignored some serious symptoms. She has a great bedside manner, is smart, proactive, and thinks outside of the box. She even came up with possible diagnoses other specialists missed. Although we never figured out the cause, she took EVERYTHING I told her VERY seriously. As a veteran patient, I cannot count how many doctors downplay or ignore serious symptoms. Dr. Michaud not only does the opposite of those doctors but should also teach other doctors how to take their patients' concerns seriously. I was able to get in the following week after scheduling as a new patient and never had difficulty getting appointments. Her receptionist, Annabelle, and her MA, Rachel are friendly and helpful. I wish I found her sooner and had more time to be her patient. Thanks Dr. Michaud for listening to me and helping me as well as serving as an example for the care I hope to provide my patients as a family physician one day!

We love Dr. Benway and her staff. She has been our daughter's pediatrician since she was born, and…read morewe couldn't be happier. We had to switch to Kaiser for a brief period and I couldn't get back to Dr. Benway fast enough. Being a first time mom, I have a lot of questions and Dr. Benway makes herself available. She always returns phone calls and never makes me feel silly for asking. The staff of young ladies really know their stuff and they make vaccination appointments bearable. They are so fast that by the time my daughter realizes she has had one poke, they are already done with all 4. I would recommend Dr. Benway to anyone who is looking for a great pediatrician.

There have been multiple occasions when one of our children have shown signs of an ear infection late at night, and she responded promptly, saw them to make an accurate diagnosis, and made sure they received the treatment they needed as soon as possible. Whenever my kids feel anxious about an appointment, she is able to calm their fears, make them feel safe, and even turn the visit into a positive experience. I especially appreciate how thoroughly she explains medical concerns in a way that's easy to understand. She takes the time to answer questions and listens to my concerns.
