Dr. Tassone is amazing and patient with both of my girls. He entertains all of my worrisome questions and helps walk me off my ledge. I appreciate his thoroughness and willing to answer all questions. His confidence and knowledge put me at ease.

The medical assistant that led us to the room did not have a warm, welcoming, or pleasant personality. Everybody else we encountered was wonderful.

We had a phenomenal experience. Dr. Tassone and his provider were outstanding with my daughter who has severe anxiety. The ease of everything was excellent from quick X-rays to somebody scheduling with us in the patient room directly following the appointment. Great job Children's!!!

The appointment took much longer than what I was told when making the appointment. It was Monday and things seemed backed up but we did wait for a very long time between meeting with different members of the team. Had went known to plan for the extended time it would have been better than thinking someone forgot about us.

Everything was great except I was surprised that there was nothing in the waiting room for kids to do.

We are very impressed with Dr Tassone & his whole team. Knowledgeable, compassionate, took time to answer all of our questions without making us feel rushed or like a burden.

Communication as to why things were late. Sat in the room for 1/2 an hour before PA came in, then another 1/2 an hour until the doctor came in. Appointment was actually only about 10 minutes. No one explained what the delay was. Felt like we had been forgotten about.
