Patient Reviews
Jan 15, 2021
I've been chronically ill for over a decade, and I've seen A LOT of doctors. Dr. Childs has the best bedside manner out of all the doctors I've seen. The wait times are a little ridiculous, but I believe it's because he truly takes his time with each patient. I trust him with my life. (Literally...he's performed several surgeries on me!) He explains everything in detail and makes you feel seen as a patient, which is a rare quality. Highly recommend this doctor.
