I have 3 kids 2 that have disabilities and never in my 5 years of him being their pediatrician have I not been satisfied when leaving his office! As a parent that has a child with disabilities we need someone that will listen to us to the fullest and work with us on what's best for our child! Dr. Showalter is the best will take as much time is needed with each patient so the children and parents leave with peace of mind! My kids love going to the dr.

I am sad to say my husband's company has changed insurance providers. The hardest part of it is that we will no longer have Dr. Showalter as our pediatrician. My boys have seen him for 7 years now. With Dr. Showalter, my boys were not stressed when going to the doctor; in fact, they looked forward to their appointments. He is amazing with the kids, explains what is going on with their development to the parents, and answers questions thoroughly. His bedside manner is fantastic. Anyone would be lucky to have him for their doctor.

Dr. Showalter is a great dr. He takes as much time as we need when we have an appointment, he answers every question and interacts with my daughters as well. He is also very good at following up with test results and answering his emails. We have been seeing him for 4 years and have never had a negative experience.
