Reviews
Warm words from the families we care for.
Dr. Alex and his staff have always returned my phone calls or requests for school physical forms in a timely manner. Dr. Alex is a devoted doctor.
Dr. Meli is amazing. She always takes her time to know each child and what their needs are. I would not trust my children with anyone else!
My son is 2 1/2, and he felt comfortable with Dr. Rahmet right away. He even asked for her after he left the office! She gives great advice and is not too pushy.
My wife and I love Dr. Liwag. He is friendly and very thorough. Listens to our concerns, spends time educating us, and addressing them. Always feel great going to and leaving from the office.

We started with Dr. Meli at birth! Dr. Meli relates so well to my son. She listens to him and makes the visit as enjoyable as it can be.
