    Dr. Go is Amazing! She takes the time to hear our concerns and talk about solutions. I've established care for all my children with her after seeing how great she was with our baby. Talking about my son's possible learning concerns and getting tested at his new school in a different city, she went above and beyond to send me resources on who to reach out to for some testing in the other city.

    Dr. Go is truly exceptionalÑI just wish we had found her sooner. She is patient, relatable, and genuinely listened to all of my daughterÕs concerns. She didnÕt dismiss or dramatize anything but took everything seriously and engaged with care. My daughter felt truly seen, heard, and supported. Dr. Go offered clear, direct advice and made me feel supported as a parent and confident in health decisions for my child. SheÕs an outstanding doctor and I would HIGHLY recommend her.

    Dr. Go is very thorough and compassionate. She truly takes the time to make sure to check over all aspects of my son's well-being (physical, mental, and emotional). I can tell he feels like she is a safe adult to express himself with.

    Dr Go is excellent! She has always done an excellent job of providing my kids with excellent care. Whether it's anticipating the need for a sports physical and helping us get all the paperwork for it done during our annual well child exam. Or diving deep during appointments to make sure medications are working and adjusting dosage as necessary.

    She took the time to help the kids feel comfortable. One child was unsure about getting their ears checked and she worked with us to make sure she took it slow and worked at their pace to support the concern and continue to check up. It was great!
