This practice is the primary care for both of my kiddos. They're warm, welcoming, and well-staffed. Yes, even during these last several years! We love everyone from the folks behind the reception desk to the medical assistants, and of course our primary physician. We have been going here since 2018 and can't recommend it enough. I will note that if you're calling for a same-day appointment, you have to call during business hours. Otherwise, the overnight nurses are wonderful for those middle-of-the-night or weekend sickies.Finally, there have been the occasional wait of around 10 mins before getting seen by a doctor, which can be tough if you've got a sick toddler, but most of the time, the wait isn't beyond 5 mins.

Dr Lauren is an amazing pediatrician and she made us feel incredibly comfortable with our first baby. This is the best pediatrician office that we found. We since moved and switched providers but we seriously considered doing the 40 minute drive in order to stay with children’s. I cannot recommend them highly enough. The entire office is kind and helpful. I loved feeling like I had an entire team helping us with our baby. They are amazing!

This practice has been my son's medical care since he was 1 month old. They are professional and courteous. They always help in whatever the situation-from daycare colds to Covid, flu shots to understanding developmental markers. The last time I called (in regards to a positive Covid test for son) the woman on the phone was incredibly empathetic. She was also flustered and shared she'd just been yelled at twice by two different moms who were looking for Covid tests for their children. Terrifying, I know. The scheduler felt horrible, understood the pain the moms were in, and was grateful I wasn't yelling at her. I'm writing this mostly because I know it's easy to blame and feel separated when there is a sick child. I've always felt like this practice has had my back.

My son has seen Dr. Lauren Mickey since birth, and we LOVE her! When my son had issues with weight gain early on, she was so supportive of our goal to breastfeed, and worked hard to create a plan that aligned with our goals as well as my son’s needs. She takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, addresses all questions, and is respectful, kind, and an excellent listener. She is thorough and efficient but never seems rushed, and she is responsive over email if I have a question. I cannot recommend her enough!

This place is amazing! Dr. Spero is our doctor and we love him. He always listens to my concerns and believes in a mother’s intuition which is extremely reassuring. All 3 of my children love him! Betsy in the office is amazing! She is the best! When I need anything including breastfeeding help, she was so helpful and made me feel great. I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a wonderful doctor

My wife & I have 2 children who are cared for at this practice. They are simply the best. I have never had a single call to the practice where we were not able to visit a doctor the same day. We even moved 30 mins away and still keep the practice as our pediatrician. The doctors listen to our concerns & questions about treatment. They do not immediately suggest over the top procedures and really inform the parent of all options. While Dr Cecil Lashlee is our primary doctor (who we love), we are able to see anyone available.Contrary to other reviews, we have never had any issues with billing.I HIGHLY recommend.


We've been going to Dr. Spero (Spyridon Papadopoulos) for the last two years and have had an amazing experience. He's extremely knowledgeable, friendly and my kids have grown fond of him. The staff is responsive when we've had urgent issues after hours, always able to fit us in for sick appointments and extremely helpful when we've had follow up questions/needed referrals placed. They are associated with Children's Hospital so in the unfortunate chance your child ever needs to be admitted they can communicate and see each others records. Best of all they recently moved to a new office which we haven't been too yet but excited to go see.
