    All staff from reception to the Medical Assistants and Dr. Knight were amazing. My kiddo was very scared and they did an amazing job talking to her and helping her get through the appointment. The Medical Assistants were very sweet and caring towards my daught er and it made me feel as they truly cared about her and her comfort. As a parent of a special needs child, it warms my heart that they treated my kiddo with such patience and compassion. Thank you all very much!

    My daughter is terrified of the doctors office! Dr Knight was so kind, informative and was so patient and kind during the duration of our visit. My daughter is almost 2 and Dr knight communicated everything to my daughter so she understood what was going on. I t was so kind to see. By the end of the visit my daughter hugged her goodbye! That was a first! But also very telling how Dr Knight delivers kindness and compassion to all her patients. This was a random sick visit and we never saw this provider before. I’m so happy with how our visit went and wanted to share our amazing experience with Dr Knight. I think she really helped my daughter be comfortable in the office which will help future visits too. Thank you for showing kindness and compassion.

    Dr Knight is one of mine and my daughter’s favorite pediatricians ever. She was amazing with my daughter and that’s tough with a teenager. We are very lucky to have been scheduled with her by chance and my daughter only wants to see her from now on.
