We get in same day every time we have called for something other than a yearly check up, those we schedule several months out. Everyone we have seen has been very good at setting the kids at ease and getting them to cooperate. Three locations and extended and Saturday hours work better with my schedule than the places that close at 4 o 5.

I have been taking my 3 kids here for the past 11 years. I love our pediatrician, Dr. Hepler and we've also had many other Dr's and nurse practitioners who have been wonderful. All these negative reviews are very surprising as I absolutely love this place!

I'm usually real picky about my service especially when It's for my child. They are always polite when I check in and out for my kiddo & McArthur is the most amazing pediatrician; meets all my concerns. They can approve on who answers the phones though, you can tell by their voice and how rushy they are that they don't love their job. But overall, I do really love this place.

Dr. Tappel is the best pediatrician we have ever had. He is extremely knowledgeable, cares about children, and takes time to discuss the issues with you. I trust him with my son's care. The staff is always friendly. I read one review about the office being cramped with no windows, but we have been going there for over four years and have not had that experience at all. On the contrary, the exam rooms in the hospital office have large picture windows with beautiful views of the mountains (if that matters to you when choosing a doctor, which it likely should not). I highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Adrian Furman was very helpful and took the time to call us back at home and give us resources after we had concerns about our infant's breastfeeding strike. He is a caring physician. Also Katie Blacker, NP has been very helpful and encouraging. We appreciated the commerical-grade breast pump rental service as well.

This smaller location of LaTouche Pediatrics is located on the first floor in a business building on Huffman Road across from McDonalds. We have had some appointments at the Providence Hospital location and we prefer Huffman by far. Every time we've come, we've been the only patients there. The place is large enough, quiet, and sterile. Check-in is quick and easy. We're always taken to a room right away. We've never had to wait long to see a doctor here.

I always choose to see whichever doctor is available and we're always taken care of. It always feels like we are in and out, which is what I prefer. I require mask exemptions, various referrals, referral amendments, and referral updates for my son with non-verbal autism. I love that the doctors here just get it, and do whatever they can to assist me and get things faxed out ASAP. All staff encountered have been kind and professional.

The only negative is the lack of toys or entertainment for the kids, as a covid precaution I assume. As mentioned previously, you are taken to a room immediately after checking-in, so its not a big deal, at least for my family.

Very friendly and competent staff. Dr. Jones was very friendly and took good care of our daughter. She gave us some good advice and took her time to answer every question. Good organization with very short waiting times. Definitely recommend this pediatrician
