The reviews listed below were collected independently of Rainbow Pediatrics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
Dr. Hunt is the best doctor I've ever seen, not just pediatrician, best one of all the ones I've seen. She looks at not only the whole child but the whole family. When both of my children were sick, she asked me, "how are you doing, mama?" As long as I live I will never forget that kindness! Most doctors have poor beside manner but Dr. Hunt is a wonderful exception. She actually listens and had never rushed me... not even today when we had a 4 pm appointment on Friday. I cannot recommend her enough.

Dr. Hunt has provided exceptional care since our first encounter. She has always been very pleasant and made me feel included in our son’s care, never ignored or excluded as a mother. Dr. Hunt attentively listens to every concern regarding our baby's growth and development and explains the care in detail. During our sick visit today, she alleviated my worries. Having worked as a pediatric ER nurse before my current role, I deeply admire providers like Dr. Hunt who ensure parents are well-informed about their child’s care.

She was really sweet and cared about my son. Didn’t make any assumptions but more recommendations and referrals to get solid solution. :)

I have never met a more fun / kind and loving doctor than what I experienced from Dr. Hunt with my daughter this morning. My daughter is 2 and she was so kind and playful with her that my daughter was able to complete the whole appointment with a smile. Thank you for this incredible experience and care you showed to her by getting on her level and treating her as a person and not just a patient.

Dr. Alese Hunt, M.D.'s journey into medicine is rooted in two things she holds dear: a deep love for children and her lifelong connection to North Carolina.
Dr. Hunt built her foundation at Yale University before returning to North Carolina to earn her medical degree from Wake Forest School of Medicine. This combination of world-class education and local commitment ensures her patients receive care informed by the best practices, delivered with genuine, community-focused warmth.
For Dr. Hunt, pediatrics is far more than just treating illness—it’s about partnership. She views it as a truly unique field that allows her to build lasting relationships with families and share in the joy of a child’s entire journey, from infancy through adolescence.
“Kids are so much fun to work with, even when they present challenges,” Dr. Hunt shares. “Their resilience and honesty make every day meaningful and rewarding.”
She is passionate about the teaching aspect of medicine, with a special clinical interest in health literacy. Her goal is simple: to make sure parents and children feel completely comfortable bringing their questions and concerns to every visit, ensuring families feel supported and empowered through clear guidance and education.
A native of Lumberton, NC, Dr. Hunt is deeply familiar with the region and its people, choosing to remain in her hometown to serve the community she loves.
When she steps away from the clinic, Dr. Hunt cherishes her time with her own family—her husband and three children. She can often be found antiquing or reading.
Above all, Dr. Hunt values connection. Her favorite part of being a pediatrician, she notes, is found in those quiet moments during a visit: “When moms and dads truly feel that I care. Those small, unspoken connections mean everything. It’s about building trust, supporting families, and walking with them through all stages of their child’s life.”
Dr. Hunt is the best doctor I've ever seen, not just pediatrician, best one of all the ones I've seen. She looks at not only the whole child but the whole family.
