    P 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!

    Dr 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.

    Dr 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.

    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!!

    Very knowledgable, kind and caring all while having a very calming demeanor which is always welcomed when you're dealing with your child having fractured their leg.

    Dr. Holmes is awesome. She listens to what you have to say and does what she can to ease your worries. My daughters procedure went well and she had recovered nicely.
