What Patients Say About Us
Angela Dawson
I have taken my son to doctors all over town, borderline begging for someone to run tests and listen to my concerns as a parent. No one would take the time to actually listen and run proper tests until we visited Dr. Childress today! He not only listened, but he immediately jumped into action getting blood work, referrals sent out to other places, advice for me while we wait for the results, and doing a full check up on my boy. Everyone in the office from the staff at the front desk to the nurses in the back were nothing but kind, polite and helpful. The woman that did his blood work was incredible, I can't remember her name but WOW, she was awesome. She explained everything to my son before taking his blood, making sure he was comfortable and safe, knew what was going on, etc. If you're a parent that has medical concerns for your child, and you feel like you're not being heard, take them here, you won't regret it!

I've been a patient of Dr. Ton for about 13 yrs now. He is an old tome doc and I love that. He fist bumps you when he comes in the room. The entire staff from front receptionist to the all the nurses and then Dr. Ron are very kind and considerate. I see Lacey and Dr. Taraska and they are also kind and considerate. I'll never change doctor's.

Everyone was so nice. The dr Josh took his time with me. He wasn’t rushing through everything. I will keep him as my PCP. My first visit.
