We love Dr. V! As new parents, we really appreciate her care for our baby and her check/in with us to see how we are handling the parenthood transition. She is kind and offers welcomed advice. We trust her completely !

Provider did not give me time for my questions. She acted with courtesy but did not ask if I had questions and when I made them, she seemed in a rush and I had to make them in a hurry. Also in the doctor's notes many questiones that were never asked to me are shown as if they were. Incorrect. Not very pleased and especially for a 12 month old baby appt, I did not feel very secure about everything. Doctor not through at all.

We drive over 40 minutes to see Dr. V and nurse [staff]. They have cared for our boys since they were both born and we plan to continue to see them for as long as possible. Dr. V is kind, thorough and explains things in a clear, concise way. She is an exceptional pediatrician.
