Ruthie took the time to listen to and validate our concerns and make safe recommendations for our child's situation and care. We previously had a poor encounter with the department, however our visit with her completely turned things around for us. She is thorough, thoughtful, and very personable. We are very happy to work with her moving forward!

Ruthie Youssefi is phenomenal. We have been seeing her for both our daughters for over 15 years. She listens intently, gives us quick feedback, and takes care of our girls like they're her own daughters.

R Youssefi did a great job setting my child at ease. She was friendly and great at communicating. Not only did she give a thorough explanation of the possible causes & treatments for the patient, but she also took the time to answer an unrelated question I had about another child.

The nurse practitioner was kind and patient. My (age) year old said she was his favorite because she talked so nice to him! I appreciate her explaining stuff to him and for calming him.

Dr/Nurse Youssefi was so patient and friendly. She was welcoming and informative and I felt she really wanted to collaborate with me on deciding what the right next steps were for my daughter. I am so thankful to her for treating my daughter with such gentleness and kindness.
