“My daughter’s Doctor, Hannifan, was excellent from the time I met her in my recovery room. Making an appointment was always easy, and I absolutely loved that they had a 24/7 nurse line. As a new mom, I used this often and it was such a good tool to have at my disposal. All of the nurses here are friendly and good at their job. By that I mean, good with my daughter and great at giving multiple shots in the blink of an eye.”
