Patient Reviews
Jan 21, 2016
ALWAYS excellent. She is a Mother as well as Doctor, so pulls from both areas of expertise! Our kids feel very comfortable and cared for when we see her. Dr. Ragins has a wonderful way of explaining what she is doing/looking for while performing her check-up. She speaks as she goes so the child knows what to expect. She also answers parent questions thoroughly. We couldn?t think of a better Doctor to manage the health and well being of our three children.
