Dr. Peter Toohey - Pediatrician. He takes the time to listen to your concerns for your child and really try to figure out what's going on when the child is sick. Also, when he says the office will call to check up, he makes sure the office calls to check up. Wonderful care!

Dr. Linda Purcell from Preferred Pediatrics has been caring for my girls since they were born. She is caring, dedicated, warm, informed, I could go on and on. The best example I have of her amazingness is last summer when my daughter was diagnosed with Lyme Disease. She called my house herself, twice!, with test results and spoke with me as a fellow mom, not just a doctor. She knows my girls, remembers their activities/personalities/quirks, etc, and is an all around wonderful lady!

Dr, Joseph Ferguson! He will always take how ever long with you that you need. I never mind waiting when I go to see him because I know if I only need a short visit np but if I need to talk he will take the time to spend with me and I won't feel rushed. He will explain things until I am satisfied. He speaks plain english, not just "doctor" talk. He's been my primary care doctor (he specializes in internal medicine) for about 18 yrs now, I've seen him go out on his own, grow his practice and move several times over the years. Always friendly and personable. Truly concerned for his patients, more than just a paycheck to him.

Dr Mary Callahan is hands down the BEST pediatrician EVER!!!! her quality of care is top notch and bar none she is the greatest.. she takes the time and makes herself available to her patients in a way no other doctor in our lives ever has!
Dr. Reese used to be where it was at but he's gotten way to big for me. Sadly his office staff are rude and generally nasty when you call. I was told I am no longer his patient since I'm not sick enough... so I'm in the market for a new GP

I agree with Sherry. Dr. Joseph Ferguson has always been willing to take his time with each patient. You never feel rushed when you are talking to him. I've been to other doctors but none are as special as Dr. Ferguson. I've been fortunate enough not to have any major health issues but he has certainly helped me with the ones I live with every day. I feel much better and I owe it all to him. Great Doctor!

Dr. Peter Smith. He saved my husband's life many years ago and we will never forgot that. He is a compassionate, knowledgeable doctor.
