Parent Feedback

I had to bring my daughter in for a wellness checkup and after extensive research and visits with other hcp's, I have decided we would like Amber Castro to be her new provider! So I brought in my daughter who was SUPER unhappy about being there and very grumpy cuz, I mean, she's 12. She was there to give blood and get Jr. High shots so she was not at all stoked to be there. Even with attitude and all, the nurse and Amber were very kind and thorough with everything they did. Amber even managed to get a laugh out of my daughter. The front desk peeps were kind as usual, I've never had an issue with the front desk at any wee care locations. So thank you wee care for taking care of us! And my apologies for my grumpy child. I keep telling myself, "it's just a stage..."
