Dr. Sams is a fantastic Doctor for teens. She is honest and straight forward without intimidating her your adult patients. She speaks to teens respectfully and provides an excellent caring yet appropriate manner for her patients at this age. Thank you Dr. Sams!!

I've known Monica since she was a resident. I switched my kids to her as their pediatrician as soon as she went into practice with her dad. She has an amazing bedside manner, is extremely thorough, and truly cares about her patients. If you're looking for someone to take your kids to, look no further than her!

Dr. Sams is AWESOME! This coming from what some may call a snob! I've been known to be quite picky in what's best for me and my family! I'm a huge water snob and don't get me started on hotels! So when it came time to pick a pediatrician I was at a loss. We came upon her by chance. Now, most all our medical decisions for the kids are based around her and her opinions. It all came about when my son was born we hadn't picked a pediatrician yet. While at the hospital we called the insurance and She happened to be the first name given for that area. Boy we were lucky. Since than our insurance has had changes by us and work, but my husband and I always agree on one thing. She'll be the only one treating our kids as long as we can help it! We drive 30mins just to receive her care. The kids have a problem, and she get's me in pronto. I can't even get an appointment that fast at my Dr. She's very thorough with all that she does. I appreciate that. Dr. Sams is personable and real! The kids… LOVE her. She has a kind heart that shows through in work. I recommend her to everyone! I give her an A+.
