Patient Feedback

Doctors Van Putten, Samuels, Gonzalez and Budowsky are the absolute best! I have a 5-year-old daughter who is particular about seeing a female doctor and gets frequent ear infections. They are always able to accommodate, assess and treat her as well as twin two year olds who can be difficult to manage. All of the physicians are incredibly nice, have plenty of patience, never rush you nor make you feel like whatever is happening is abnormal.

My little one has been going here since he was born, and they have always been amazing. I drive 40 minutes one way to this doctor because they always get us in (even on weekends and holidays) and provide great service. We’ve seen four different doctors, and they are all so nice, have great bedside manner, and really listen to you.

We’ve been going to Children’s Medical Center since 1997 when my son was born. Three children later, and we’re still going. We had a great experience yesterday with Denise!! She was amazing, kind, friendly and professional. So much so that my 17-year-old daughter left there saying “I may want to be a nurse practitioner.” Thank you!!

Have been going to the Doctors here since my son was born. Almost 5 years now. Love them. And the staff has always been extremely helpful as well. Whenever we need paperwork, referrals, orders for DME etc. they have always come through for us.

Great place! My 10 week old daughter had an eye infection. We called them and got an immediate appointment. We walked in and were seen by a doctor within minutes. The doctor turned out to be the same Doctor who had been my wife’s pediatrician when she was a child. This was our third visit to this location since our baby was born and the staff are always great. I highly recommend this practice.
