Dr. Pinto is PHENOMENAL. He is relatable, kind and has a warm/comforting disposition. He included me in my child's exam, demonstrated several things and even drew diagrams to explain. Dr.Pinto reminds me of the old school town doctor who listens and puts effort into his visits because he actually cares! I would 10/10 recommend his office, and while im happy my kiddo is healthy and needs no further care I am also a little sad that our only experience will be this one. Thank you Dr. Pinto!

Dr.Pinto was absolutely amazing. He had gotten called into the hospital (which we were notified of) and so our wait time was about an hour. DR.Pinto was absolutely amazing from the moment he walked to the moment he left. His carisma and personality truly shine. He speaks with confidence and took the time to make sure we understood every angle of our baby's issues. He was personable with us and even with the delay and knowing he had other patients took his time truly explaining everything to us in detail. I would highly recommend Dr.Pinto!!
