    Dr Cordoro is fabulous. We immediately knew we were in great hands. She explained the pathophysiology of our son's issue and treatment plan in detail and answered all questions. We have total confidence in her expertise.

    Very impressed with both the resident (I'm sorry I can't remember her name!) and Dr Cordoro. They were kind, thorough, and great with my toddler. There was also another staff member who wasn't assigned to us, but saw my child bump his head in the waiting room on the arm of a chair and promptly got us some ice, brought him stickers, and then a snack which was very thoughtful particularly given the long wait in the clinic.

    Absolutely the best doctors appointment we have ever experienced. Dr. Cordoro is a talented, welcoming a friendly doctor who such care and compassion for her patients. She listened carefully and worked with us. Her personality put my daughter and I at ease and she established such clear communication that we feel safe in her care and trust her professionally. She is an absolute gem!

    Dr Cordero and her team are incredibly kind, personable, and knowledgeable. I know my son is in good hands for this disorder which can be very scary. I feel they will do what is best for him and genuinely care about their patients.

    Amazing doctor who explains everything. Dr. Cordoro is brilliant, kind, patient, and relatable. You know that she had seen 10 people before you and still has patients waiting but when you are in the room with her you are all that exists.

    The doctor and the resident were both fantastic. Such a great experience because of them and their thorough knowledge.
    Jul 29, 2022
    I wouldn't recommend to others as the office is very incompetent. The provider under a different situation would be recommended
    Jul 18, 2022
    I would not send anyone here due to wait time
    Jul 15, 2022
    She was outstanding. She addressed our questions, gave us information we weren't even seeking, was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly.
