Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Horrendous Practice
This is the third time in just 1.5 years of my daughter’s life where this pediatric office has turned us away. First time was when she was 3 months old and was very sick. The front desk told me to make an appointment with urgent care. Second was when she was 5 months old and again very sick, 103 fever. The front desk again told us to go to urgent care and to not see her pediatrician. Today was the last straw, my daughter had a bad fall, blood all over her, screaming crying. I was down the street so I went inside of the office and explained what happened. The woman at the front desk shook her head no and told me she doesn’t except walk ins and told us to go to urgent care AGAIN!

Dr. Richel is by far the finest physician I have ever encountered in any specialty. He is technically excellent, calm , patient and so kind - to the children and their parents! I walked in a bit panicked when my daughter was sick and always leave feeling calm and reassured.

Really remarkable physician! I am a more nervous first time Mom, and could not have asked for a better pediatrician for my son. I absolutely trust Dr. Pete's medical advice and decisions; and he certainly does spend a lot of time explaining everything.
