My child had concerns, and both Hannah and Dr. Evans made him feel completely at ease (I could tell he relaxed, b/c he even cracked a couple of jokes). They were superbly compassionate and professional during a time of great change -- I am deeply grateful.

April 07, 2023
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.
-

-
March 30, 2023

-
March 30, 2023
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.
-
March 30, 2023
Dr Evans is phenomenal!
-
March 27, 2023
At first my daughter was scared to go to the doctor and didn't want to receive her shots. The team made her feel so comfortable, that when her shots were administered, she just said "ouch" and continued playing on her tablet. They provided her stickers and lollipops for her bravery, and she left without shedding a single tear. The bedside manner of the office staff is amazing, and definitely made her visit enjoyable.
-
March 26, 2023
Dr. Evans was great. Our children have seen Dr. Stokes for nearly 15 years and we were so sad to see her retire. Dr. Evans could not be a better choice.
-
March 24, 2023
I always feel welcomed and the staff is always professional but friendly and I feel welcomed.

February 26, 2023
This was our initial visit with Dr. Evans and immediately I felt like my child was in excellent hands. She was kind, personable and thorough, all qualities that we appreciated in her predecessor, Dr. Stokes. Dr. Evans took her time to address all of my concerns and even made a follow up phone call to me the same day! I'm pleased that so far, the transition appears to be going very well. Thank you to the medical staff and front desk team as well, everyone was friendly and professional.

Dr. Evans was amazing. I was a scattered, babbling mess because I had to rush away from work, pickup the kids, get to the doctor. Only one of my kids had a fever, but I brought them both. Dr. Evans was so patient and understanding through all my babbling, we really did end up needing both kids seen, so it turned out like it needed to be. Dr. Evans was exceptional with my kids, and with me and I am so, so appreciative. And this was all on a Friday afternoon of Halloween weekend, but Dr. Evans was generous with her time and support of our needs, even after I'm sure she had a very busy, full week. Thank you Dr. Evans, so appreciate you!!
-
October 29, 2022
Nurse Megan was great too - thank you everyone!!
