Our girls have been receiving care at Great Destinations for 10 years (since the birth of our first). We have had nothing short of excellent care and experience with their practice! The providers and staff are awesome.
– Lori Klaski
I have gone to Dr. shepherd when I was a child and it’s bittersweet that she’s now taking care of my three kids! Dr. shepherd is phenomenal. She has great bedside manner and my kids feel so comfortable with her. She answers all your questions thoroughly and gives great fe edback and most importantly does not rush the appointment which I appreciate.

Both of our kids have gone to Great Destinations over the last 20 years, and we would always recommend them to anyone looking. The staff and doctors are always very kind and caring.

Our provider took her time, asked questions, and was a great listener. She talked directly to my teenage son and allowed him to share how he was feeling. Everyone felt valued and heard.

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 always receive thorough and caring responses any time I am there or call. I appreciate everyone at GDP — keep up the great work!
– Tatum Hollingsworth
My boys have been coming here for the past decade. The level of care and kindness is unmatched. From the office staff and M.A.s to the doctors, everyone is kind, welcoming, and supportive. I have been consistently happy with the level of service and care provided for the past 10+ years!
