February 08, 2025PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERwish Dr Holmes had walked in and greeted my child to make sure she was comfortable in a nice, warm greeting. She came in and was a little cold, and it immediately made my child nervous and shy. She also made some remarks that weren't very friendly- but obviously she is a very respected and talented doctor.
February 08, 2025EXTERNAL SITEDr. Holmes is truly wonderful. We are so grateful for all the years of care she has provided.
January 21, 2025EXTERNAL SITEP Dr. Holmes was extremely nice, wanted the history of what's been going on before just jumping in and evaluating our daughter! The wait to see her was very reasonable & we needed some extra imaging which was done in the office. Then we went over those images just a few minutes after getting them done! We are from a rural area so medical service is nothing compared to this. We will recommend Dr. Holmes to anyone who asks! Thank you!
January 16, 2025EXTERNAL SITEDr Holmes is incredibly kind, thorough and attentive and my daughter has seen her for both a broken arm, for which she needed surgery, and now a broken leg. Both have healed wonderfully and she was reassuring through all of it.
December 15, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERShe was kind and wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone.
November 03, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERDr Holmes is caring and thorough and explains exactly what needs to happen and why. I can tell she cares about my kiddo in how she talks to her and to me and I really appreciate that. I trust her recommendations and her work as a surgeon.

October 19, 2024PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTERShe did a great job on making sure my son was taken care of.
October 19, 2024EXTERNAL SITEDr 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!!
