    Dr. Holmes cares significantly about my son's abilities and long term outcomes. She is measured in her recommended course of care and provides support for it as well. We know he's in good hands with her.

    Best advice: seek out another doctor. She has no bedside manner and doesn't care about you or your children. If you ask for help she won't give it and does the bare minimum that she needs to. By far the worst doctor we have ever had to work with.

    Always caring, supportive and knowledgeable. We have always felt in good hands with Dr. Holmes. We have had her care from only 10 days old, to now, 16. She always makes sure things are going well and continue to stay that way.

    Dr. Holmes is a very kind, professional doctor. We appreciated the care she gave our daughter as well as the understandable explanations of what she was experiencing and why. Definitely recommend her.

    I was SO impressed with Dr. Holmes and her approach with my daughter's broken arm. She was warm and welcoming and put my daughter at ease right away, but also was straight forward and direct to the point when discussing treatment options with me. I couldn't possibly be more impressed and grateful.
