Can I give the front end staff a negative review?! Rude is an understatement and don't waste your time complaining to the office manager Tanya because she is going to take her staffs back no matter what. There answer to everything is don't like it find a new place. Waited 25 minutes on the phone to check in and was met by nothing but rudeness by Diane the secretary. Staff can't admit when they make errors nor do they have to.

Both my sons go here and have Dr. Kennedy. I highly reccomend him! My 6 month old son never got vaccinated due to him being sick and we relocated here from Rhode Island. Dr. Kennedy came up with a schedule to get him back on track. Nurses there are beyond sweet too!
