The ultra sound technician was amazing. She was patient and engaged with [NAME]. She also used strategies that made the process fun (as fun as it can be).

Jennifer was amazing, as was our technician, Bonnie

The reception staff was particularly very friendly! Also, the ultrasound tech was knowledgeable and very friendly.

Medical assistant or nurse practitioner was extremely nice and patient and tried to get [NAME] engage in the process and helped her not be scared. She did it with such an ease and friendliness that I was grateful [NAME] didn’t even feel anxious about all the probes and measurements, which is important for getting an actual ekg baseline.

Excellent experience

Dr. Whitham was fantastic and addressed all areas of my daughter's life in regards to her current situation rather than focusing just on the problem. She is an amazing doctor and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

The ultrasound tech. She has put extra effort into making the ultrasound experience a positive one. Her extra effort in decor, lighting, and educational music set our family up for success.

The gentleman at the front desk was very welcoming. He greeted us with a smile and made a very good first impression. The nurses that interacted with my son and myself were excellent about explaining what was going to happen and answering any questions we had. The Dr herself made sure we understood what was going on with our son and made us feel very much at ease and that allowed us to leave feeling reassured everything was ok. Overall we had an excellent experience.

The doctor listened, explained the tests and results, and took extra time with us . She was fantastic. The sonographer was excellent as well- warm, reassuring, and explained as she went. Loved the calm vibe and cleanliness of the office and echo room!

The lady that did the echo was phenomenal, I sadly can’t remember her name but she was so compassionate and willing to answer my sons questions. She took her time and let him see his hear and explained what was happening .
