    PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER

    Dr. Holmes was amazing with my son who was happy to be getting his cast off but not very excited to need a brace.

    RIVERTON CLINICS

    We're so grateful for Dr. Holmes. She is super smart, has awesome social skills, and very passionate about helping children!

    PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER

    Amazing!!

    PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER

    Dr Holmes lacked compassion and it did not feel like she had concern for our child as an individual. She shrugged off what may be commonplace for her but was a hard experience for us. Im sure she has seen much worse. But for us, this was our worst. Compassion goes a long way.

    EXTERNAL SITE

    She took time with me and my daughter. She was able to anticipate and answer all of my questions. She even suggested and explained the reasoning behind screening my next child ( Im 9 months pregnant) which I appreciate her think about.

    PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER

    Always cares about her patients and their family.

    PRIMARY CHILDREN'S MEDICAL CENTER

    She did a great job on making sure my son was taken care of.
