Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Awesome, caring doctor
I thank goodness for doctors like Dr. Balderston every day! My teen was struggling with mental health. Dr. Balderston sees my daughter as a individual and has always taken her time with any questions I have. I feel like I can relax knowing my girls health is Dr. Balderston's hands. She is a sweet doctor and a great listener. She will hear your concerns. I recommend her for any family.

We love Dr. B.
When my 1 year old was a newborn we happened to see Dr B, and the moment I met her I knew I wanted her to be my kids new Dr when their other Dr retired. She is so loving and kind. She is so gentle with my kids and talks to them and asks them questions. She listens so well to our concerns. I couldn’t ask for a better Dr for our family! We love her!

SAFE
As moms, we only want what’s best for our babies. As for my family, that’s Dr. B. I joke that the day she held my 4 day old newborn, she held me too. Postpartum moms always remember the kindness and compassion that was offered during our 4th trimester. Dr. B showed that and more on our first visit, and every visit after. With all the information out there, it gets very overwhelming, knowing we have Dr. B in our corner to help navigate it all is everything I want in a pediatric doctor. I will always refer Dr. B to friends and family, the dedication to her patients is evident. You can not get any better. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

You may not skip a single vaccine
My children have been patients with this clinic for 17 years. I have ALWAYS opted to do some vaccines and not others. Amelia shows up, young, new to the clinic, and upon finding out we don’t strictly follow the schedule, works ASAP to have my family ousted unless we follow the entire timeline. I’m not anti vaccine…I’m pro-medical freedom…there is NO freedom with this doctor. My failure to follow her schedule, she says…would make her patients (vaccinated) sick. For an educated person to spout such poor logic,I was floored. She also asked my homeschooled kids multiple questions about their social interactions and if they had friends outside of their siblings or church.I’ve never had other doctors do that. Upon meeting my kids it’s apparent they are very well-spoken, educated, and socialized. Im not sure when social interactions outside of the church became the concern of general practitioners. Her bias and political views were on full display despite her condescending smile.
