Dr. Alton is always very personable and understanding. She listens to your concerns as a parent and is always happy to do what's necessary to rule out any concerns. Given my daughter has been seen by Dr. Alton a lot more than the average child very early on and throughout as she ages. Dr. Alton has built such a great repour with my daughter and takes her time to explain things to her, walk her through it so she is more comfortable. She is also eager to learn from her patients and parents to help other patients in similar situations. That's what makes a great doctor/pediatrician. We were blessed with the best pediatrician!

Dr. Alton is amazing. She takes the time to listen, think through and talk any questions or concerns I have. I NEVER feel rushed. I NEVER feel silly asking questions or telling her concerns. She is on top of every concern I ever have. She orders tests as needed and is timely on getting back with results. I am a pediatric nurse and am very choosy about my children's provider, so I mean it when I say she is the best! We are so grateful for her care!

Dr. Alton is the best. She is caring and compassionate. She listens to both us (parents) and kids in what we have to say and then she offers suggestions or praises over the kids. She is a wonderful Doctor!!!!

This was our first time seeing her, and she did amazingly well addressing the concerns in ways my 9yo could understand. She did very well and I appreciate her communication style.

Love this office always efficient and clean - they even accommodated my 2 year old getting his yearly flu vaccine with my 18 year olds well child checkup. Thank you for being understanding of a mom with multiple kids at appointments!
