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.

Dr. Taboas is THE BEST
Dr. Taboas is amazing. She is very good about listening to parents’ concerns, talking to children directly and working out a path and plan that everyone is behind. We’re so lucky to have her as our daughter’s pediatrician!

Amazing Doctor And Office!
Dr. Taboas is a very knowledgeable, friendly, and great doctor overall. She takes her time to explain everything in detail and answer questions. She always makes us feel at ease. Her staff is wonderful and the office is very clean and beautiful. Eventhough her office is a bit far from us, it's worth the drive. I wish my kids would have her as their doctor forever. I highly recommend her and Mercy, the nurse practitioner, who is also amazing.

Dr. Taboas has been my child’s pediatrician for almost 7 years, and she is extremely caring and thorough. She always returns calls and is very patient, taking the time to answer any and all questions. Professionalism, kindness, and politeness is extended from everyone at the practice, including the receptionists. Highly recommended!

Dr. Taboas takes her time and addresses all of our concerns. Our daughter was born at 26 weeks and as a first time mom I just didn't know what to expect. She has always made me feel confident in my decisions as a parent.

The best doctor in the area. She really cared for my daughter. Very friendly and takes her time to explain everything even if you don't have any question. Everyone at that office is very professional and friendly. The place is very relaxing and super clean. They do have a separate entrance for sick kids which is great. We moved out of Florida and I really miss her. Can't say enough good things about her.
