Patient Feedback

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.

I have been coming to Children’s medical center for 18 years and I am happy with their staff and doctors. Never a hassle to make a same day appt. Dr Budowsky is awesome!

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.
