Felicia J
Very nice location with kind staff. Only reasoning for giving a 4 start instead of a 5 is they pressured me to formula feed both my babies when they were newborns(born 2022 and 2024). Because newborn breastfed babies lose a little weight after delivery, they were worried both of my babies were failing to thrive. Unfortunately I felt pressured and uncomfortable and they made me come in both times to do a “weight check” a day after their very first appointment, and of course pay $60 for the doctor to tell me what I already knew. When I offered to weigh my children at home, they stated there’s a possibility that my home scale could not be calibrated correctly and it’s just safer to do it in office. I understand that as a business, they have to worry about the safety of the child and protect themselves from liability, which is important. But as a mother, I know that if both of my babies are filling diapers and seem comfortable after feedings, they are in good hands unless I saw something different. I stuck to what I knew and they are both thriving. Other than that single situation, I’ve been going here since 2022 and my husband has been coming here since 2002 As his mother would bring him here. No other complaints on my end. Will definitely still be coming here. :)

We love the doctors and staff here. They have helped us work through many of the moments that childhood brings, especially for our family having girls. They are open to questions and answer lovingly and kindly with great knowledge. They truly care and want to help. Appointment scheduling hasn't really been an issue and financially we have no complaints. It really feels like they have become a part of our family and the village that helps us raise our kiddos. I love that they offer to pray for you too if you'd like.

Tatum H
Such a fantastic, clean, kid friendly pediatric office! The triage line is amazing for after hours concerns or if you just have a general “paranoid mom” question. I have spoke to Andrea many times and she is GREAT! I always get thoroughness and caring responses any time I am there or call. I appreciate everyone at GDP, keep up the great work! ❤️

I’ve been taking my son to Great Destinations since we moved to Arizona a few years ago. We’ve always had a good experience. Doctors and staff are all experienced and have great bedside manners. So grateful that they also offer same-day sick appointments. Highly recommend them!

Waverly G. Office completely dysfunctional. Told me did not need appt for a re order of blood tests. Wasted two hours of my time waiting for them to call me when order was approved. Called back and then told me I did need an appt. Set July 2nd appt Called day before to confirm. No call back and when I went to appt they said I did not have one. Took off work and sent home without appt. Then I got this text same afternoon asking how my appt went. Truly patheticWaverly G.
