"Dr. Pelzer is a knowledgeable, patient and fun pediatrician... He uses play to make our child feel comfortable with him... Always listens to us and values our input as parents."

"If you need to be seen for any issue other than your scheduled check ups and vaccinations you will most likely be out of luck... If their first opening is 2 weeks out... that is unacceptable."

— Birdeye/LocalityBiz

"Dr. Greenley is amazing provider. She is great with calming my toddler when he gets a little nervous... She is also great at both explaining my toddler's health and helping allay any of the various concerns."
