      We have to travel twice as far to see Dr. V at this location, she is worth it. We've never found another provider like her and will continue to travel to maintain this level of care for our kids. She is exactly what every parent needs as a pediatrician. She is one-of-a-kind and we are so fortunate to have her care for our children.
