What Our Parents Say

Renee M

Love Dr. Bares and Mrs. Susie. They are both very attentive and concerned about my baby's well being. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

Dawn A

I love the staff at the office! My kids have always been treated promptly and carefully. They love Dr. Jude and Ms. Susie!!

Jennifer K

I love Dr Bares and the nurse practitioner. They give excellent care and always address my concerns. I wouldn't go anywhere else, they have seen my son since I moved here a year and a half ago. I have absolutely no complaints.I know my son is in great care there. They don't accept Medicaid and they don't have to. There are plenty of other doctors who do. It's not discrimination.

Sydney L

Dr. Jude Bares and his staff are the absolute best. We used a previous pediatrician who was not as kind with our children so we decided to switch and we have never regret that. We wish we would have found him from the very beginning. Our kids even request to go see him whether they are sick or not. They absolutely love him!

Taylor M

We love going to Dr. Bares! The staff is beyond friendly and makes you feel like family. And Dr. Jude is a favorite of my kids.
