Dr. Powderly is INCREDIBLE!!! She has provided excellent care for my two children since my firstborn was a newborn. She is extremely knowledgeable, caring, attentive, and has amazing bedside manner throughout the 5 years we have been seeing her. She was especially instrumental in the care for our 32 week premature son to ensure he had the best care and always referred us to the best specialists. He is now met his developmental milestones and has overcome so much! Dr. Powderly has been instrumental in (son's) successful health journey. She has been incredible doctor for our (daughter) too! We will miss her greatly since we are relocating to North Carolina.

December 13, 2023
Everyone is always courteous. I have some shout outs form a prior visit, too. Jessica, Rosario, and Esmeralda helped me get in and out of the building with my newborn at 4 days post cesarean in pouring rain. I sincerely appreciated their kindness and effort, despite the pouring rain and the time it took for them to help us. Tiffany took time to help coordinate when she could have easily just said I needed to reschedule the newborn visit until someone could come with me to move the items too heavy for me to lift safely at that time.
-
December 11, 2023
This was our first time meeting Dr. Powderly but I was so impressed how easily she examined my sick newborn and sick toddler. Both were nervous and wanted mom at the same time but Dr. Powderly was so great at helping them each calm down to assess them. I felt heard as a parent and confident on what to do next to care for my kids when I left.
