Krista was excellent! It was our first time visiting and she made our daughter feel comfortable and answered all of my questions. I’m glad I did my due diligence and found a new pediatric office that we both feel comfortable at.

Krista is the sweetest she’s seen us since our newborn visit and we will continue to schedule all our visits with her! She listens to my concerns and is so gentle with baby!

So kind and gentle with our young baby! We try to see her for every visit! She listens to concerns and helps calm my anxiety as a new mom by explaining what’s normal vs not.
