Testimonials

    Alex H. 2020

    Samantha H. 2020
  • "We've had such a great experience with Dr. Hibbs. She listens well and takes time to answer questions, brainstorm solutions, etc. She provides her professional opinion in a courteous manner and respects our input as well. Dr Hibbs is great with my kids--she's kind, interactive and approachable and they definitely feel comfortable with her. We've had a wonderful experience with Dr. Hibbs and highly recommend her to others. We've had a positive experience with Children's Medical overall as well--all office staff have been friendly and helpful. Although appointments sometimes run late, we've never had to wait a long time. We're very happy here."
    Shawna M. 2020
  • "Have great triage and night/weekend appointments for urgent issues which can avoid a trip to urgent care. This has been a huge relief to me as a parent. When you are feeling unsure if something is urgent, they are there to support you and you don't have to wait long to get competent advice. The doctors are great for routine things and also helped get to the bottom of a difficult to diagnose issue with one of my kids. I moved and the clinic is a bit far for me but I will keep going there rather than switch to a M-F 8-5."
    Melinda V. 2019
  • "Dr. Tammy Nakahara is an amazing doctor. She has been my children's doctor for over 15 years. She has extreme interest in their health and likes to take the less medicine as possible route, natural, and I appreciate that!"
