"Dr. Pelzer is a knowledgeable, patient and fun pediatrician... He uses play to make our child feel comfortable with him... Always listens to us and values our input as parents."
— Birdeye/LocalityBiz"If you need to be seen for any issue other than your scheduled check ups and vaccinations you will most likely be out of luck... If their first opening is 2 weeks out... that is unacceptable."
— Birdeye/LocalityBiz"Dr. Greenley is amazing provider. She is great with calming my toddler when he gets a little nervous... She is also great at both explaining my toddler's health and helping allay any of the various concerns."
