Rating & Reviews
Dr. Putz is fantastic! My children are new patients of hers but have been going to this location for many years. She listens, shows compassion and care, is professional and works towards resolutions. Both of my children were nervous about their appts, but she put them at ease and they both left saying how much they like her.
All of the staff is so kind and caring, they also answer any and all of our questions without judgement and give us great information. They truly have helped us so much.
We saw the new Dr, Dr Putz, and she was fantastic. Kind, caring and very thorough.
Dr. Putz has been so helpful and kind. We appreciate her caring attention for our kids and the time she takes to answer our questions. She's amazing!
Wonderful experience and encouraging to my daughter.
We love this office! From the schedulers, to front office staff, to care techs and docs. Everyone is so kind, respectful, and really listens. No one else we'd want taking care of our kiddos.
Absolutely love the nurses and doctors here. It was our first visit and they helped make my daughter's first visit very friendly. She was a happy girl for the most part. Normally she will cry just for getting checked out but the nurses and doctor made it fun for her.
