Phenomenal doctor.
Phenomenal doctor. very caring, listened to all of my concerns and was definitely going to look out for the best interest of my granddaughter. Thank you for having good doctors in this world and not assuming what they have. You actually want to run test to find out what they have and I appreciate that. Thank you so much and your staff members are phenomenal just like you. Thank you for being here for people like us that need a good doctor.

The best of the best. Derek and Lynne are always a great to see even if it is time for shots. The nursing staff is always great too. ❤️

the front desk staff is awesome!
Always a great experience! Super informative and no judgement ever. We love Lynn! Saw Derek for the first time recently and he did not disappoint - amazing clinicians all around. I’ve seen most of the clinicians during sick visits, etc and there isn’t one I would be opposed to seeing. Also the front desk staff is awesome! Every time I mess something up on the portal (oops) or I need a document they are happy to help!

We love Dr. Derek!
We have been coming here since my daughter was born. We love Dr. Derek! We came here just last week for an appt I was able to schedule same day. We ended up being there until after 5 due to the circumstances of the appt, but he took the time to go over everything and make sure we understood and didn’t rush us out the door. The nurses and front desk associates are all so great as well. I always recommend to my friends.
