the nurse was also great.
Went there for a flue shot for my baby and from the front desk the young men was amazing and welcoming and then the nurse was also great and with a soft hand at the moment of giving my baby her shot. She was very carefully. I will definitely come back here.

I live minutes away from the Alafaya location, but decided to go to the Semoran location as I was not getting any results from the providers at the Alafaya location.

I am so glad that I went to the Semoran location before taking my kids to another facility. Dr. Kim went above and beyond to get my concerns about my child addressed, and it was done in one visit. Just wow! Thank you Dr. Kim!
