Our nurse made sure my baby had something to play with and look at during the longer wait times. Everyone was kind and listened well. For a stressful morning, I felt relaxed and more prepared to care for my baby.

Everyone was extremely courteous and professional. We were taken back quickly and the appointment went by quickly considering. The only complaint I have is when the appointment was scheduled. I feel that I should have been told a guesstimate on how long it would take. This was a new process for us and we were not aware of how it worked nor how long the testing took.

Dr Morris was great with my 10 month old daughter. He explained the test, her results, and food test challenge so I could understand the plan & how to address her allergies.
