We have been going to A Caring Touch for 4 years and enjoy the kind and practical care we receive. When our youngest was born at the beginning of the COVID pandemic, they were already putting in place proactive safety measures and addressed our concerns with the information available.

We love A Caring Touch! Everyone there is so friendly and there's never a long wait. Office is clean and doctors take time to listen. I highly recommend this office!

We moved here from out of state and maybe I just expect a different level of care. The billing department is impossible to deal with. I've made numerous phone calls to both insurance and billing about a specific bill. A caring touch basically told me it's my problem and if i don't pay the entire bill they won't see my kids any longer. I refuse to pay as my son has insurance coverage and this bill wasn't covered based on a technicality.
They don't help you and don't seem to care. The doctors are ok.not entirely friendly like I'm used to.the front desk can be rude, and if you have more than two kids forget it! I guess we are in the market for a new pediatric office asap!
