Every time I bring my child, I know that I'm going to get the best care and help. This is why I'll drive 40 minutes for an appointment rather than go to another provider closer to home. Can't recommend you and your staff enough! Everyone is great from the front desk to the nurses and doctors.

Today was our first appointment with Dr. Evans and we were very impressed. She was easy to talk to, thoroughly checked our daughter's symptoms, and took her time to explain everything to us. We were a bit uneasy with seeing a new doctor after being with Dr. Stokes for the past 13 years, but in less than a minute of meeting Dr. Evans, we knew we were in good hands!
-
April 07, 2023
I'd like to give a huge shoutout and thank you to Dr. Evans. Today was our first appointment since Dr. Stokes retired. Dr. Evans was scheduled to be off today and another doctor was supposed to be filling in. The other doctor didn't show up, and Dr. Evans came in so that her patients could still be seen. This speaks volumes and shows Dr. Evans' dedication and commitment to her patients.

Dr Evans is the best. I'm confident in her care for all three of my kids. She listens to me and my kids and will address any concerns we have. Finding a doctor that actually listens to me instead of blowing my concerns off means everything to me.
