Even after we moved to the other side of town, we didn't dare change pediatricians, because Dr. Behrens and the whole team at Emerald have been amazing. From morning walk-in hours when sick to well visits and vaccinations, we trust them to guide us to make the right decisions for our children.
We have been loyal patients of Emerald Pediatrics for 9.5 years now. Dr. Plachta is amazing, but we also love other doctors we’ve seen on sick days. Today my 9 year old had his well visit appointment. It was easy - quick check in, friendly help, barely any waiting! The nurses are all amazing. Dr. Plachta is attentive, remembers things about my boys, and what I love most is she addresses her info and questions to them, and not me. I am always confident with her advice and recommendations.
We have been going to Emerald pediatrics for almost 4 years. We love Dr Behrens, & have had a great experience when seeing other doctors for ill visits/after hours calls- All of the staff are so kind and helpful.
