We LOVE Dr Lorts, but I am seriously considering switching practices. The front desk NEVER answers the phone. The past two visits I have sat outside for 15-20 minutes with sick kids waiting for them to answer my messages. They act like we are late for our appointments, when in reality we are early and just waiting on them to answer their phone. They wont let us come inside to check in because of COVID symptoms, which is understandable, but answer your phone or send the text messages like youre suppose to. So frustrating!

I have enjoyed all the providers. They all have very different personalities which maybe is a reason people are thrown off. There are many ways people can present as kind, caring, and present.

They know the kids very well (and me...) and engage them each time in a good way. I have littles and teens and the approach is to the child which is how it should be. As my kids are teens now, they have started addressing them about more sensitive topics and

Weve loved this practice and all the physicians and practitioners who have helped both of our kids for over 5 years. I hope we never have to change locations! I highly recommend this practice. Very caring, compassionate and down to earth people who have helped us through many situations.

We switched pediatric offices after several disappointing appointments. I was referred to Dr. Young and yet to be disappointed. From the very first appointment, the doctors took the time to get to know my daughter and her needs (severe allergies, eczema and asthma). They listened to my concerns instead of brushing them off as the former office did. In 2019, when I knew my daughter was sick, the previous office told me she was fine. We had a follow up with Dr. Young and discovered she had mono. It's so nice to know that the doctors in this office care about my child and strive to get her the best
