My Daughter has been going here since she was born. We always go to the Lenoir office and we're seeing Dr. clapp and Donnie. When Donnie left we were given the option to see anybody but Dr. clapp, Who we have seen multiple times but was not listed as the primary provider. As a mom I was not very happy about this. My only option was to go to the Morganton office which I have had issues with since day one.
The administrative staff is extremely rude and the office manager did not return any of my phone calls except for one. They also sent me a bill for my medical records when I requested they be sent somewhere else. This was not my choice and I should've never been sent a bill for this. I work in healthcare and there is no reason to ever Be as rude as the Morganton administrative staff is. The stuff in the Lenore office was always amazing, the nurses were amazing and the providers were amazing I never had a problem so I'm not sure what goes on in Morganton but it needs to be taken care of.

Seeing a lot of 1 and 2 stars reviews and i honestly don't get it. I take all 3 of my girls here and the staff is always wonderful. We see Dr Kelly in the subfloor area and her team is always so welcoming and kind with my little ones. Would not recommend you go anywhere else with your kids but here. Thank you girls for the awesome job and excellent service every single time I've been by.

Love this office.providers that do care and even in stressful times give good advice or see my children. I have been called, when I leave a message, with in a normal time frame. Wait times during a pandemic is something we should show a little grace with as they are working hard.

Really need to replace all their receptionist with people who are more positive with better attitudes who knows how to do their job correctly. If you do that, this clinic will be perfect! Don't let lazy, rude and obnoxious people represent your clinic.

Mountain view is a great place to take your children. Kristy Anderson is a very caring Dr to my daughter. I have no complaints with this place and would recommend.
