After years of assorted Doctors and PA's, we finally found OUR doctor. Dr. Parwaiz has an incredible manner, only now am I finding our that it translates from her years as a pediatric Dr. She cares and will take what time she needs to get more, and more accurate information out of her patients.

I took my daughter in after school and the practice was supposed to close at 6. She stayed an hour later and saw my daughter without any hostility about the time. It was a Friday evening. She talked to my daughter and made the visit less scary for her. I really appreciated her taking the time to put my daughter at ease even though she was late getting home on a Friday.

Not only was I upset at the care my child redeived from the Dr. but her nurse was just as bad. To add to my dismay, the Dr. has relocated with no notice, or way for me to obtain over a years worth of my childs medical records. Now I have to go through my insurance trying to find a new and hopefully much better pediatrician.
