Dr. Emily took her time, listened to my concerns, and made me feel acknowledged. She offered great medical advice and explained her reasoning behind her suggestions. I will 100% continue coming to visit Dr. Emily.

Dr. Emily is the most attentive and supportive pediatrician we have ever been to! Not only is she incredible with the kids as patients, but also puts forth so much extra effort with me as the parent. There is genuine care and best interest when deciding what’s best for overcoming any medical obstacles or illness. Also, the entire team of nurses that work within that office are exceptional as well! Thank you for all that you guys do!

06/02/2025

Amazing pediatrician, very helpful, non judgmental, she helps us with everything.

05/21/2025

We came to this office because a family member suggested dr. Emily and she did not disappoint. She is amazing. There was no judgment, she listened, she worked with us, and provided really helpful suggestions for the plan for our son. As parents, we have had a rough go with our kiddo the first 7 months of his life. Dr. Emily shared her philosophy and I appreciate her openness and validation. She embodies what it means to be a holistic provider. As someone who is a nurse in the outpatient world, I know the pressures of providers to see large volumes of patients, but I felt like Dr. Emily took time to really listen and talk with us about next steps. I hope this feedback is shared with her and the MA because I want them to know that their hard work is noticed, appreciated, and provided my husband and I peace

05/19/2025

Dr. Emily is kind, compassionate, and understanding. As a parent, she provides us with all of the information that we need to make the best decision for our child. She never makes you feel silly for asking questions and is so relatable.

05/12/2025

She is kind, understanding and genuinely passionate about our kids and their health. We feel we can be open and honest about the best and worst of our parenting and she is never judgmental. She has recommended treatments in the most gentle way, while always leaving it up to us (though we have always deferred to her expertise and never been steered wrong). She taught our four year old about consent, she commends our two year old on his gains and growth, and she does it all with a smile. We LOVE Dr. Emily!!!
