Staff is very friendly. Place is clean. A little annoyed that we couldn’t get our daughter vaccinated at the time of the appt, since this is the only reason we made it. Now I won’t be able to attend the next visit, and my husband has to take an additional day off work.

Our Response:

August 2022

Dr. Place has been our pediatrician for years, and we absolutely love her! She’s very calm, patient and thorough with my kids, speaks directly to them so she can get an understanding of exactly how they feel. We never feel rushed when visiting, and I have emailed her office with concerns and always get a reply back the same day from a nurse or Dr. Place herself. She is moving her practice 30 miles away to be closer to home and we are gladly following her!

Our Response:
Our team is always ready to provide excellent service, and compassionate care. They will appreciate your kind words. We wish you all the best!

Dr. Place is amazing! She always goes the extra mile for kids!! She takes her time, listens to all concerns, reassures me everytime, and if she does not know exactly what's wrong she will do whatever it takes to get the right diagnosis!! Highly recommend Dr. Place is definitely a blessing

Dr Place was very wonderful. She listen to what I was telling her bc my child is nonverbal and has autism. I would recommend Dr. Place to my friends who have children and family.
