I don't know why there are any negative reviews about Acute Care Pediatrics. I have been taking my 3 sons there since they were born (I have a 12 year old and 9 year old twins) and the entire staff there has treated us like family since day one.

I had an appointment scheduled for 2:40pm but I thought that I would be able to get my daughter there sooner so I asked if I could come sooner… they said yes. So as it turns out… I was running late at the office and called them 30 minutes before the new appointment time. I asked if I could keep my old appointment time because I... read full review
