We've been very happy with this practice. The office staff is knowledgeable and pleasant; it's never a bother to get in touch with someone for questions or to make an appointment; and we love that we can wait in the car for our visits instead of spending time in a waiting room. Dr. McFarland is very thorough and always patient to answer all of our questions.

Check in was fast and efficient-they've struggled with this over the pandemic, but have seemed to figure out a process that finally works. Their staff are still following strict protocols to prevent spread of COVID, which continues to keep healthy kids safe from other communicable diseases. Everyone was nice and knowledgeable and very gentle with my 4 month old. The nurse tech was gentle and efficient with getting us to an exam room and performing all the initial assessments/getting measurements. Dr. Brock was kind and thorough as always-he's so considerate and always asks permission/doesn't shame or make assumptions about parenting preferences. The nurse even managed to get a smile out of her after administering 2 shots. A+ service today!

Being a first time mom, I was nervous to be open. But at Sandhills Pediatrics there is nothing to be nervous about. They will educate you as much as possible and make you feel as if you're at home, wanting the best for you and your child. I left more knowledgeable about things I needed to know about lactation and ways that my baby and I can connect with the community.

I love taking my daughter to Dr. Brock she has been seeing him since she was 2 months old and she is almost 5 know. I have custody of my 12 year old neice who has some issues and he took her immediately without hesitant. He has been wonderful with her especially since she has issues. Never had to deal with any of the other drs except for maybe on the weekend a time or two but they are were great also. Never have a problem and like I said I have been going to them for almost 5 years.
