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.

Dr Ulmer is wonderful
Ulmer takes time to check in on not only baby but mom to. She listens, has a wonderful suggestions and never pressures you into anything that makes you uncomfortable with your child care! She is the best pediatrician I have had for my children and highly recommend her.

Excellent Care
Dr Ulmer and her staff answered all my questions and heard my concerns. They had a full schedule and yet patiently heard. They also found some formula for the baby and it was much appreciated.

Outstanding
Dr. Ulmer was outstanding, as always, with our children at their yearly check-up today. She was exceedingly patient as they wiggled, explored and asked to hear their own heartbeats with her telescope. She is thorough and quick while never seeming rushed. We are very thankful!
