We were not aware that by calling the Doctor regarding our child's condition & ratio we would be charged a fee. We are already dealing with a lot & now one has to worry about calling or not to call the Doctor for questions.

Dr. Almazan has provided care for both of my children for over five years. She is always professional, informative, and caring. She explains everything throughly and answers all of my questions. Her office staff is also amazing. Everyone if always friendly and helpful in every way possible. We never have to wait long for an appointment and Dr. Almazan never makes our appointment feel rushed. Thank you Dr. Almazan and your entire office staff for always providing such fantastic care for my children.
