    Wow! We would visit with Dr Holmes again in a heart beat! She knows a lot about her area of expertise and is real. Not pushy. Listens to patient concerns and gives good advice. We were very impressed!

    Dr. Holmes is an expert at treating hip dysplasia. Our child has had two surgeries performed by her and we trust and respect her. She puts our concerns at ease and helps us feel prepared and informed throughout each visit and surgery.

    It felt like she didn't care. She didn't answer questions herself but referred us to other people or paperwork that we hadn't yet received.
