Dr. Wood of Forest Hills Pediatrics! Most amazing pediatrician I’ve ever met

Rebeka Maki @ Brookville Peds!
Congratulations Dr. app!!
Well deserved! ! ☺
Sara McCune is the best!
Dr Jennifer CORY is great!! She is at Metro Wyoming
Dr. App is wonderful! He cares about helping each patient and actually listens and trusts what you say (I truly appreciate this). He is easy to talk to and kids love him. If a specialist is needed, he finds the best no matter which health system they are with. He has been our family internist for years and wouldn’t go anywhere else. We are truly blessed to have him as our primary care physician. He’s very deserving of the #1 spot! Thank you Dr. App!
Donna Harold is awesome
Ben Schipper
The only one I’ve heard of on the list is dr app and I’ve heard great things about him.
My PCP is #10. 🙂
Ask your nurse friends. We always know who we would want and definitely have those we would avoid.
#1 way to go Dr. Michael App! Congratulations!!
Kevin McCormick

#2 Zelasko is a great doctor, HOWEVER, the office staff isn’t the best. They need to be better on how to welcome their patient’s.
Lindsay Ledesma
Dr. App deserves that #1 spot. 🙂
P.S. It’s Dr. Mary Kline (not Klone)
Thanks, Kamie!
