Everyone is so nice and so caring. They listen to you and your concerns. They have always been prompt. It's so nice to feel comfortable at a doctors office.

I absolutely love Dr. Rachaiah. He answers all of my questions no matter how crazy they seem to me at the time. He is very thorough. He remembers everything about my kids and he asks about my other kids when I have a different one in for something else. He'll call and check on them. I have taken all three of my kids to him now and I always tell people that if they're looking for another pediatrician or switching, they absolutely should go to him. I think he is the best around.

Our doctor was extremely thorough, very personable, went through every step of the process that we were about to embark on with great detail and answered any questions that we had, including a follow-up call to ensure that we had everything that we needed and we understood everything completely. We can't thank him enough. Thank you.
