Emily was very kind with my son who was very upset and nervous. Her calming demeanor helped ease my son’s fears and helped the exam finish quickly and thoroughly. I’ve had very negative experiences with pediatric providers that were very condescending or uninterested in care but Emily was not like that at all. Overall a very positive experience

Emily is down-to-earth and listens to parental concerns and to the child. My preteen likes to be involved in her own healthcare and Emily gave her the choice of trying therapy first versus medicating first during a recent mental health visit. This made me respect her that much more as we don’t like to push medication first in our household.

Professional. Would have liked to see that my son’s record was looked over as we are new patients. A question of what antibiotics to use could have been easily answered with that background knowledge.
She told us our results and prescribed the rx. It was ready when we arrived at CVS.

My daughter loves her. She’s very thorough. She’s wonderful with my kids needs and when I have questions or concerns about my babies she’s there to listen and answer them. When I needed a 2nd opinion on my daughter she was there to ease my mind and heart and diagnose my daughter properly.
