Kelly Ndikor
Had a televisit appointment with Dr.Carroll Phyllis today. It’s great and satisfying each time I meet with her either in person or on the phone. Her listening skills and her ability to meet you where you are mentally and willingness to discuss and come to an agreement on the best course of action is very good for the patient- doctor relationship. I am very satisfied with Brighter Beginning especially because of that.
Aubrey Herrera
Very nice people there, very helpful in making sure nice and healthy, addressing problems that you might have and check up’s on things you want to discuss
Jeffrey Franks
Great local doctor’s office. Appointments start on time, friendly staff, doctors don’t rush through their patients
Barbara Mendoza
My appointment was on the phone and it was awesome. Phyllis really listens and is very thorough and honest. I am so grateful to have her.

We’ve had a mixed of good and bad experiences with this clinic. I got a text message saying if you would like to cancel an appointment then give them a call. I didn’t even say or call back and they canceled my nieces appointment. So when we got there there was no appointment. Communication needs improvement. Clinic is small but clean. Recently they have been doing ok. My nieces doctor Sheina is very sweet/nice. So just depends on the day you go I guess.
