Dr. Kay, is very friendly, ever since the first time we saw her (recommended by my sister) she made my kids and I feel so comfortable. She has such a great way to connect with her patients, making the visit feel so safe and makes sure to not rush any visits and that we leave with ALL of our questions answered. We LOVE Dr. Kay!!

Both my children have gone to see her since birth. She is straight-forward but warm. When my daughter had lost weight due to a poor breastfeeding latch, Dr. Kay did not immediately push for supplemental formula, but instead suggested meeting with a lactation consultant and following-up later that week to see if there was improvement (daughter is now 3 and successfully bf for 20 mo). She's respectful of parenting choices, but does ask questions to ensure safe measures are taken (ie co-sleeping). I recommend her to family and friends (and sometimes internet strangers haha) who are looking for feedback on pediatricians.

After many appointments we have had enough her of rude attitude. I don't think I have ever seen a doc more unprofessional in my life.

Dr.Kay is the physician for both of my children, and they absolutely adore her! She makes them feel at ease and comfortable about coming to the doctor. She also always takes her time, and our visits never feel rushed. Thank you Dr.Kay for being an awesome Doctor!

I have been taking my 3 girls to Dr Kay since birth. She is upfront, honest, caring, and no-nonsense about child rearing and health care. The nurses are great as well. However, I have never cared for the office staff (schedulers and intake). I have had words with Dr Kay about the office staff and unfortunately the hospital does the hiring so she has little say. Although she has had conversations with the office staff on my behalf and things were fixed immediately.
