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.

Takes a real interest in my children and is exceptionally knowledgeable. Very accessible and a great help during a recent afterhours call.

Great doctor
Dr. Howard is knowledgeable and obviously cares a great deal about her patients. The staff at Chestnut Pediatrics are efficient and friendly. Among the best pediatrics offices in Fresno, hands down.

Hard to actually meet the doctor. They never know why we are there, long wait times. Extremely unorganized; I've had to fill out duplicate paperwork several times, then I was told that I didn't have to fill that out. They don't have many vaccinations on hand. This is actually a dangerous place to bring your child.

I absolutely love Dr. Gonzalez-Howard. I was impressed with her professionalism and interest in my daughter's health. She made the both of us feel very comfortable. I didnt feel rushed. She listed to both myself and my daughter. As a mother who has 3 young daughters and feels as if I'm always either at a Dr's office or at Valley Children's Hospital, I am thankful we found Dr. Gonzalez-Howard. I would recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Dr!
