Highly highly recommend Dr. Byington and her team! We have a preemie that just got out of the NICU and she has gone above and beyond to make sure all of our questions are answered in detail. Being a first time parent she has put our mind at ease. She takes her time and not only takes awesome care of our son, she takes care of us and our worries as well! Can't recommend Kaleidoscope kids enough!

Dr. Byington has been such a positive aspect in me and my children's lives! Every question I had about children, she had answer! My children are non verbal and for so long I've been struggling to find a good doctor that can get me the help my children need! I live in the Dallas area and she is definitely worth the drive! The nurses and staff are amazing, they definitely deserve way more than 5 stars! I highly recommend this place for your kids
