    "Love our provider! We did have a different nurse this time than usual and we were not a fan of her for multiple reasons. She seemed short with us and almost judgmental with some things. We have never felt that before so it was unfortunate that we did this time."

    "My son needed his kindergarten vaccinations at his well child appointment. Any vaccination can spark some anxiety in a kid or adult. After his appointment filled with shots, He returned to summer daycare. My 5-year old son directed all of his friends to shout a congratulatory "Hooray for nurse Lynn!!". He did this, because his sister really set him up for disappointment with injections. Lynn was so compassionate and caring. And frankly, amazing at giving vaccinations...the kid didn't even flinch! And, he credits Lynn for her clinical expertise by saying, "Mom! It didn't even hurt! Nurse Lynn is the best!" Thank you, Lynn!! Dr. Callahan always displays the highest standard of patient care. He always answers questions in a way that any parent (or kid) can get behind and support. Kids are the best detector of character and both of my kids absolutely adore and appreciate Dr. Callahan!!"

    "Dr. Callahan is exceptional, he pays attention to all my concerns as well as any concerns my child has. I appreciate this so much. He has been seeing [REDACTED] since he was four years old. Doctor callahan also makes it a point to arm me with information that is completely biased but also delicately in the best interest of my son and I respect him for that so much. Lynn his nurse is also outstanding. So many times as a parent.You feel like you don't know what's normal and what's optional?And he truly has gone above and beyond to make time for us."
