someone contact her manager please and let them know she is outstanding!

Kimberly Young was amazing. She was on the phone for almost an hour helping me. She was patient, she was kind… and she was on the phone with me past 9pm which meant the world to me after a long day to have clarity in what was needed. I’m not sure if she is in the Lauderdale south office or just answers the phones but someone contact her manager please and let them know she is outstanding! Thank you!

We have been coming here since my son’s first newborn visit. Dr. Listor is his primary, but we have seen multiple doctors and I think this entire staff is just wonderful. The wait time is generally pretty quick. We’ve been able to get short notice sick appointments very easily. Highly recommend!

The office appeared clean.

The office appeared clean and the staff were all very nice and helpful. Dr. Singh was great with my 13-yr old daughter. We did have to wait in the lobby for about 45-minutes, but that seems to be the same at every medical office.
