Worst pediatric clinic to take your kids! If you have an appointment and get there on time they take about 2-3 hours to get called inlike are you serious? The doctors & staffs should all be fired they be in the office on their phone and gossiping like they don't have patients to take care of first! Never again!

My first time here and my kids love the themed examination rooms. I was reading other reviews and I guess they learned from their past experience and now they are serving very well. Never too late to change. Keep it up! Dr. Go is very nice and listen to us well. Thank you.
