She is absolutely amazing. We feel heard and seen in her care. We were lucky to have found her for our son. She has been a huge support and encouraging in our first time being parents experience.
Best decision on picking her as our primary care doctor for my child. She understands what's it's like to have a disability child and how we can relation and support each other on advices. She's very supportive and understanding. I wouldn't know what I do if she wasn't here.
Good [TRANSLATED]
Dr Wilkins is an amazing, kind, thoughtful and sincere physician. We feel so lucky that she is our children's pediatrician. Couldn't ask for anyone better.
Dr Wilkins is warm, informative and lovely! Made our family and our daughter feel cared about and well taken care of.
Very good doctor in her care for my son and explaining each question [TRANSLATED]
I cannot say enough about how Dr. Wilkins is intellectually intelligent and also Emotionally Inetelligent.
Yes one thing about Dr. Wilkins is she is also emotionally intelligent. I didn't say anything about my situation with the U of U Psychiatry and she gave me permission to go ahead and call MCOT. MCOT has always been the kindest to me.I deeply appreciated that from the most vulnerable part of my unhealed soul.
Dr. Wilkins was fantastic! She was informative, encouraging, and answered all of our questions. We are so happy to have her on our team.
Very caring and great with my son.
Dr Wilkins is a wonderful pediatrician. We had a great experience in her office. She listened carefully to me and my concerns. Dr Wilkins is invested in the health and happiness of my children. She took the time to connect with me and especially my kids which I really appreciated. We had a great experience. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent doctor for their child.
Very cool doctor and would love to bring my other two child as her primary doctor as well.
Dr. Wilkins made me feel heard and she answered all my questions. She's very knowledgeable!
