"Sometimes our efforts that seem like typical patient care have a much greater impact than we realize. At an 11-year well check I had a parent remember how stressed they were when this preteen was 4 days old and was jaundiced, and not feeding well, and how I was able to give education, encouragement and a toolbox of interventions. It helped them through a tough time, and it made a huge difference in their lives."

We absolutely adore Kris and Dr. Hearn! They are knowledgeable, compassionate and incredible with my kids. I felt comfortable sharing my concerns and felt that they were present and focused. We had such a positive experience with them. We also appreciated that we would be shown the physical vaccine to confirm it was correct.
