Fantastic practice, Dr Rob and his team are outstanding. We have trusted them with the care of our 3 children and have recommended to many others. You never feel rushed and have always been able to be seen timely for sick or well visits. We will never go anywhere else!

The entire team at Pediatrics of Florence is superb! Dr. Rob leads the team, and he is an incredibly smart, caring physician. They also have a number of skilled Nurse Practitioners. I bring all 4 of my children to this practice and we couldn't be happier.
