No covid hygiene practices in place, and dismissed my concern; stating that they had seen hundreds of covid cases and only 2 had to be hospitalized. Sir, 2 being hospilized is too many in my opinion. Wear a mask to protect your patients and their families.

I absolutely love Dr. Baughman and Josh. They always take care of my babies, rather regular check up or sick visit. The new female Dr was on call one night and I was about to take my toddler to the ER for second time. I called and she diagnosed her over the phone. Saved me a trip to the ER ( and money) and told me what to do until the morning. Then she seen her in office the next morning and got her taken care of. I absolutely love these guys.

After having multiple negative experiences with another pediatrics office, we switched to Promise Pediatrics and I cannot express how much our whole family loves and appreciates every single person in this building. From the front desk, to the nurses, to the doctors - they are all wonderful. Our kids just love the aquarium (we do too!), and they look forward to each visit now, even on sick days! While past experience combined with my own anxiety brought my expectations very low, Dr. Baughman and all of the staff has made me realize that THIS is what pediatric care should be about.
Thank you all so much, every day for doing what you do and being who you are to make such an awesome facility. My family truly cannot thank you enough for you patience, kindness, willingness to explain anything and everything. Thank you so much for being there for us!

Rebekah Harvey is GREAT! Listens to your concerns, doesn't rush while checking your child out. My kids won't let anyone else check them unless it's her. She's just all the way around GREAT with children.
