The staff is very nice and welcoming dr darmawa is amazing . He has never rushed my sons appointments and has always showed concern for any questions Ive had. I love that the office isnt overly busy so our wait time is minimal. You really get that 1 on 1 from start to finish. The staff has always been friendly and they remember their patients and families. Office is very clean, each patient room has a fun theme with wall decals which makes visits even more enjoyable. Very happy to have my baby seen by this clinic!
