Dr. King was phenomenal! My teenage daughter was anxious about the appointment in fear of being judged for being overweight but the entire team did an amazing job at just the opposite! They address the concerns without putting any guilt to the child.

Dr. King and her staff have always been amazing with my child, explaining in detail everything that's going on, everything she's prescribing, everything she's doing, and we just are absolutely thrilled that she's his doctor.

Dr. King had a great personality, gave honest feedback, was very knowledgeable in the field and able to provide ideas and suggestions that we could use based off of our lives. She listened attentively to be able to do those things. Very pleased. Very, very pleased. My child even had nothing but great things to say about her as much as she was a little, she didn't really want to attend, but she really was glad that she went and really enjoyed the visit with this doctor and looks forward to following up with her soon.

Our appt was for a routine check at 845am. We arrived early to check in at 830. We were not scene by the provider until 940. We did not leave until 1025. Almost 2 hours for a routine check is insane.

We have struggled with weight with my daughter for a long time and many nutritionists we have seen give us a bunch of Papeete and sent us on our way. This practice all seems to listen to our history and how my daughter was feeling. My daughter and I both felt very comfortable and heard at this visit with everyone that we saw

Dr. King really made us feel comfortable talking to her. She explained things to us in great detail, broke it down to him so that he could understand what he needed to do to get on the right track. We really do love Dr. King.

Dr. King went above and beyond my expectations during those visit. I had expressed concern to her about my sons back hurting and she gave us a referral to orthopedics.

Dr king took the time to help my child plan for his healthy lifestyle at college. This a huge change for him and she provided guidance, reassurance, and practical advice that made us both feel more comfortable with this transition

Hi, Dr. King was knowledgeable, personable. She made my daughter feel very comfortable where she could express her thoughts and opinions. And she was fun, and my daughter really looks forward to going back and seeing her. And we also feel like our thoughts and questions around the visit were addressed, our needs were addressed, and we're looking forward to following up with her.

My son’s appointment was at 3:15pm and my husband had to wait 2 hours for the doctor. As he was leaving, Dr King was ready and my husband walked out because he felt disrespected and that his time was not valued. Typically we are waiting on average 45 minutes for these appointments.

A lot of helpful information that was given in ways my child can understand and doable for a parent. We were treated very respectfully and without judgement.

My teenager was NOT very interested in going to her initial appointment. She didn't want people telling her things she had to stop doing and taking over her life. She was much more engaged than I thought possible at her appointment. When we left, she began reviewing all the resources given to her immediately and has begun to try to incorporate suggestions. By that evening she had already tried one of the recipes and begun adding recommended snacks to her snack bin. The thing that I think engaged her the most was that the recommendations met her where she was at. Instead of telling her what she can't eat, it was about adding healthy food to it

Caring, professional staff. Helped my son AND myself change our eating habits for healthier ones. They don't criticize or push ...they don't focus on just the weight ...they helped us focus on changes we could make to help ourselves be healthier. Theyre awesome and life changing!!!
