              Dr Garland was excellent. She took the time to explain everything in a way both my daughter and I could understand. She was realistic and positive. We also had a great experience from check in to vitals to parking validation. Thank you!!

              She was extremely thorough, and spent a great deal of time with us-asking questions, answering our questions, etc. She was kind and compassionate toward my daughter, and it was obvious that she cared about getting to the bottom of what might be causing her issues. We appreciated that she was both knowledgable in her field, but also focused on quality care for my daughter.

              Dr.Kate took so much time for our little girl and explained everything so well! She didn't just stop at one thing she looked at the whole picture and started from day one when she was born. She made us feel important to her and that we weren't just another patient. I would recommend all of my family and friends to her! Thank you for caring so much about our little girl!

              She's awesome! She's detailed person. Uses the language accessible to a child and non medical person to understand. The way she broke stuff down was amazing since visit one. She takes time to listen and discuss with us.

              I like this provider because my provider has a very good background information about my son. And like before come to visit, she read all of his history and everything and very informative. And during the visit, she explains everything to my son in a very kids level that the kids can understand everything very clearly. And it was very, I was very impressed with that one. So that's why I said number 10.
