Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.August 16, 2023RIVERTON CLINICSDr Holmes is obviously an intelligent and capable practitioner. Additionally, she takes the time to build trust, answer questions and develop relationships with her patients, and their parents.
August 06, 2023PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERDr. Holmes was amazing with my son who was happy to be getting his cast off but not very excited to need a brace.
July 11, 2023RIVERTON CLINICSDr. Holmes came highly recommended to us and still exceeded our expectations. Our daughters arm was casted elsewhere without surgery and we sought Dr. Holmes as a second opinion-- which very quickly was clearly a good choice. Our daughter had pins put in her arm before it was recasted and she had no pain while it healed, and then while the cast and pins were removed. We are confident that our daughter received the best care possible and that her arm will continue to heal and grow as best it can. Dr. Holmes and her staff were all exceptionally kind and we received the best care. Thank you!

May 20, 2023PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERDr. Holmes is straight to the point which I like. In the beginning with my first daughter I had lots of questions and she always answered. Now that Im seeing her with my second kid, my appointment is a lot faster (which I like). I know what to expect and I always leave feeling good about my daughters care
May 19, 2023EXTERNAL SITEShe was very kind and easy to talk to. She answered all our questions and explained them in a way we could understand. Dr. Holmes was also very good with our little one who is nervous around doctors. Overall it was a very good experience!
May 12, 2023PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERDr. Holmes was warm, calm, and engaged my son in conversation about his care. We liked her very much!
