    Dr Holmes was amazing to work with. We loved having such confidence in her taking care of our son. It made the decision to have surgery so much easier, and as a parent that meant a lot to us. Her athletic trainer Bre made herself available to answer any questions that came up after surgery and made sure we knew how to best care for our son!!

    Dr. Holmes is kind, knowledgeable and was so great with our toddler. She reassured us that we did the right thing bringing him in and made sure we understood the plan for his broken leg. We would recommend her to others.
