We love Ms. UPTON!! I have seen several doctors in this practice and honestly was making calls to go to a different pediatrician until we found her.

Both of my children really connect with Kristen. She is patient with them and genuinely kind rather than talking to them like children. She takes her time with them and is very good at explaining what is going on and what she is doing. She is just amazing.

NP Upton was excellent! A huge bonus that she is also a lactation consultant since we had several questions regarding breast feeding. She addressed all our concerns with care and clear explanations.
