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.

Went for our babies 2 month wellness visit. Spoke briefly about delaying vaccines due to previous child having severe reactions ! Dr. Touissant was not happy at all to say the least. He immediately threatened us if we did not vaccinate by the next visit we would need to search for a new doctor and he would no longer care for our baby. We left the office and will never return. His dismissal was absolutely disgusting. It almost seemed as if he would lose money if we didn’t vaccinate our child and that’s all he cared about. Runnnn. Do not recommend!!!!!!!

Dr. Toussaint is very passionate about his own opinions. If he disagrees with you - you will be scolded rather than educated why his recommendation is the best option. Also - if you call the office for a simple question that would not involve an office visit, they will not speak with you unless you allow them to bill your insurance for a telehealth visit (absolutely ridiculous). To give some background - we had a COVID exposure and just wanted to know what symptoms to look for/what we need to monitor for our 3 month old. No one tested positive, she did not have any symptoms, we were just being precautious and wanted to know what we have to monitor for. Pros for the office: Easy to make an appointment, no wait times in the waiting room.

While when are children were first born, a decade ago, this office was very accessible. The past few years getting in has become quite the chore. Both needed physicals for scout camp over the summer, June call for August camp, end of September early October soonest we could get in, said I needed camp paperwork was told go to a minute clinic type place. Paid additional fees and started thinking why do I have this pediatrician?

It doesn't seem like he likes kids. His interaction with my daughter was never the greatest. I denied my child getting the flu shot and instead of providing education as to why I should give her the flu shot he turned bright red and scolded my husband and I like we were some 5 yr olds telling me she could die. Meanwhile, she was receiving her other vaccinations. The rest of the appointment was so awkward. I tried giving him another chance but then they did not give me another appointment until 3 months out. He may overly stressed & overworked since his partner left?

Dr.Toussaint is really a good doctor. but we are selecting another doctor for our son. I felt very bad today.... we had an appoinment today and we were late by 15mts and the receptionist in the clinic was very rude and she resceduled appointment and she didnt even gave me an appointment for the next 2 months...It is very sad to keep such persons in the clinic....so we decided to change the doctor.

really bad attention I will change of pediatric. I went today to ask some questions because my daughter have been vomiting. He just said she is fine, just give her pedialyte. I know that already so I'm just paying you to tell me the information that I already know? besides of that, seems like he does not have the really patience with kids. I've been taking my daughter to her clinic for almost a year since first time didn't like. I did want to give him a change but no. This last visit was enough

We had Dr Toussaint for 12 years. He is thorough, competent, answers all the questions I have and follows up promptly when I call his answering service or need referrals for Audiology or other papers for the HMO.
