Reviewers Say Children Enjoy This Practice

A children's practice where 12 reviews describe a child who now enjoys the visits or looks forward to the next one. Five mention a waiting area set up with children in mind, and six say the team is good with kids. Only 18 reviews were written in the last year, 16 of them four- or five-star, so there is not much recent evidence.
