Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Intelligent, discerning, straightforward.
Saw all three of my daughters through college or grad school. Excellent.

Dr. Somes has been our pediatrician since our children's birth. She always answers all of my questions and addresses concerns. Now that our kids are older, she listens to them also. She knows the science behind medicine and considers all aspects of our children's health. She is direct and practical in her approach. I would recommend her and also her office partners.

Dr. Somes is an on call physician for my pediatrician’s office and I unfortunately also had to recently deal with her when my child was sick. She made me feel like a pest when I called her. Was completely cold, sarcastic, and intimidating. No one should ever be made feel that way when their child is sick. She didn’t ask for my child’s name or date of birth. I also will report her to my pediatrician’s office as this is unacceptable.

Wonderful, caring, and THOROUGH! Been taking my 4 children to her for 18 years and am so happy we selected her as pediatrician. Cannot recommend her more. Her entire practice is terrific.

Rude, sarcastic, & snarky. She has been the on-call physician for my daughter's pediatcian's office at least twice, as we have had two unfortunate encounters with her. She isn't affiliated with our pediatrician's office, so I'm not sure why I've had to deal with her. Regardless, she has been shockingly rude both times, so much so that we're going to lodge a complaint with our daughter's doctor. It's unacceptable to be treated that way, especially when your child is sick.

Dr. Somes has been our pediatrician since the day my first (now College Student) was born. She has always been professional and caring. I could not imagine having a better pediatrician.
