Everyone we dealt with was appropriately concerned, very kind, and so patient with my son. We ended up having to stay an hour after they should have closed & they acted perfectly happy to still be there. I was so impressed with everyone.

Dr. Pier was extremely thorough. I felt like she took time to know [...] health status and what is going on with her and even addressed some issues her primary care provider had not.

Dr Pier was helpful, answered our questions and did not make us feel rushed. The OAS staff & tech that roomed us were very friendly. The nurse Kayla was incredible, she was patient and so kind to my daughter during her testing. We had a very good experience with this office.

We love Dr. Pier! My daughter has been seeing her since she was an infant and we could not have asked for a better provider for her. From messaging me while we were in the ED, to making her an early morning appointment the next day, to returning an urgent call quickly, to having a nurse call and check on her the next day she is the best!
