I really like the attention and service you receive from the front staff as well as the doctor. I have two children and plan on keeping them here after visiting them the last two times. Dr. Herrera was kind and really showed concern for my children during the visit. The staff speaks both English and Spanish in case you need it. They girls at the front do a great job of showing compassion and friendly service.
