Dr. KETRON is brilliant. He has outstanding judgment and enjoys a wonderful reputation amongst his patients. I live in a neighborhood where so many parents take their kids to see Dr. Ketron. There is nothing but praise for him. He goes the extra mile. Calls parents after hours to check on sick kids. Stays late to work our kids in when other doctors would not consider doing that. He is at the top of his game. Cannot think of a better pediatrician.

My son has seen Dr. Ketron since he was a baby. He has been on point with all his medical needs. He truly listens and has excellent advice. He has our complete trust. He has truly been the perfect doctor.

Dr. Ketron has been our pediatrician since my oldest son was born. He is such a great doctor that we can trust and with so much kindness, patience and compassion. Both of our kids are so happy every time visiting him even if they are sick!

I typically see another wonderful pediatrician but had the misfortune of seeing Dr. Ketron today. The doctor disagreed w/ my decision to not vaccinate & began to talk over me, ignored me and spoke directly to my son. He called my decision "stupid and crazy" though he has no idea why we were not vaccinating. Even if that were not the case, there was no place for such disrespectful & unprofessional behavior. Especially since we were in a common area w/ several people around.

My boys have seen Dr. Ketron since we moved to the Charlotte area 2 years ago. He takes the time to inquire about more than just their health, but their school and social lives. I could not be happier with how he has treated them, and recommend him highly!

Great doctor. My kids have been seeing him since they were born. They are now healthy happy teens. We love Dr Ketron for never making us feel rushed regardless of the nature of the visit.
