We had the most amazing experience at adventure pediatrics!! The staff provide incredible customer service and are phenomenal with children- you can tell they love what they do! My daughter did so excellent because the staff are great and she loved her time there and didn’t want to leave! They showed my daughter all the tools and even let her test them out! The office was so cute, comfortable and kid friendly.. and they had the cutest dogs to assist! Thank you Dr. Mason and staff!

We visited Dr. Mason & his team when my daughter was only 13 days old for a tongue/lip frenectomy. While you can only be comforted so much while your newborn has a procedure, they made the process quick and easy. They explained everything that would take place and Dr. Mason came out to our car himself to speak with us as soon as the procedure was complete. They checked in on us later that day and over the next several days to make sure there were no complications. Very happy with our visit there!
