What our families say

  • diciembre 18, 2025

    We did not have any bad experiences there, and that makes for the best experience at the doctors office when your having something scary going on with one of your children.

    From the nice lady who checked us in, to the nurse who took my son's vitals, to Dr. Pinto, everyone was absolutely amazing. I couldn't have been more appreciative to them. Dr. Pinto especially has an A+++ grade with my family already. He was great with my 8 year old, putting him immediately at ease by letting him know what was happening at the appointment, and also making him feel in charge of himself by asking him all of the questions. I left thoroughly happy with the whole experience.

    Dr Pinto. He cared for my son 10 years ago and I requested him to be our urologist when being referred out of the NICU. He is always so kind, explains everything with care and answers all questions. I have never felt pushed into decisions but rather made a partner in my son's care. Always a joy to work with Dr Pinto.

    Dr.Pinto is really a good doctor, he ease all the info to us and made sure we understood the condition of my daughter. He is very easy to work with.

  • febrero 07, 2025

    Dr. Pinto is PHENOMENAL. He is relatable, kind and has a warm/comforting disposition. He included me in my child's exam, demonstrated several things and even drew diagrams to explain. Dr.Pinto reminds me of the old school town doctor who listens and puts effort into his visits because he actually cares! I would 10/10 recommend his office, and while im happy my kiddo is healthy and needs no further care I am also a little sad that our only experience will be this one. Thank you Dr. Pinto!

    Dr. Pinto was very friendly and very compassionate towards our son. We've never heard of this condition before and to hear him deeply and thoroughly explain it to us was very helpful.
