Review content:
I have known/had Dr Kathleen Smith as my kids primary pediatrician for 6 years now, almost 7. I have 2 children a 6 year old and a 2 year old. Both have been with her since birth. She has been the absolute best each and every time. She's very thorough, detailed, asks and answers everything about everything. She has developed a very well nurtured, strong and comfortable relationship with both my son and daughter. She gives you her sincerest thoughts & opinions aside from her always on target diagnosis! Has never failed us in any way! Very caring and tender from day 1 as newborns, and shows her honest concern and blossoms in her knowledge of your biggest fear in what your babies may or may not have! In the time of complicated illnesses, she will walk with you the entire process! Even when healthcare at home was needed for my son! I have been fortunate enough to see her continued lines of communication with my children, moreso my 6 yr old daughter all along her early years to now as a 1st grader. She has developed on openess with her and my littIe girl feels free to ask and tell her anything! I highly recommend Dr. Smith to everyone! She has a patient list that goes forever, and so I have also had the pleasure of having my babies treated by most of the other physicians in the same office. They are all great! And when I seemed leery of seeing someone new, she always set my mind at ease by giving me some background knowledge of them. They are truly ALL a great group. Caring for children is second nature to all of them really! THANK YOU Dr.'s Smith, Rodarte, Mabie (though gone), Mazmanian, Anderson, Lizer, and definately lets not forget the front office Lisette, Carmen, and Liz! Liz you have been there my entire time with the group too and longer! And the nurses! Judy you are the best! And to those who administer the shots/vaccines, they all have a huge sense of care and are all so gentle from the very new newborn to my very fearful and screaming 6 yr old! You all tie in so well, and have really made my life with my children's illnesses much easier to handle knowing I could always count on you. Dr Smith, you are truly a Godsend! And Dr Rodarte, you are Awesome! For a man, you really have a gentle side with kids! Gillian use to be afraid of male docs until you! She loves you just as much as Dr Smith! I too will have to leave the group as our insurance carrier will become Kaiser as of the 1st of the year. I am deeply sad. No one knows my babies like you do! Inside and out! I really believe that my loss, will be someone's GREAT GAIN! THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!
Pros: Absolutely everything and everyone!
Cons: N/A, oh except during sick/winter time, allow x for parking!
