Dr. Empen is very patient. She worked really hard to get my grandson to cooperate, which he didn't want to do. And they always take very good care of my grandson when I take him there. So I think it's a great practice, and I would tell anyone to go there.

I felt like it was very easy to get in. When I called the first time, I got a same-day appointment. I do not feel that I was listened to very carefully at that appointment. When she checked my daughter's lungs, it was very quick. And then two days later, we ended up having to go back for a diagnosis of pneumonia that I feel like we could have caught on the first time that we went, had there been a little bit more thorough listening to of her lungs.
