    Dr. Pleasant was extremely kind and patient with my granddaughter. She went above and beyond to shape important information (related to puberty) in a way that could be understood by a 12 yr. old.

      Dr. Pleasant is an excellent Physician she always shows care compassion and concern. For her limited time and interaction with her patients, she is attentive, observant, and through. Dr. Pleasant never fails to demonstrate why she was called to become a physician. Her knowledge, empathy, and family centered care Is unmatched. She does not just care for the child, but she cares for the whole family. I have referred family and friends to her, we all agree she Is simply amazing. Her ability to be direct and deliberate with her expectations while she cares for your child and family Is executed with grace, humility, and benevolence. As a parent and an adult, we don't always want to receive guidance and correction, but she heals the whole family. I'm blessed to have her a watchman and healer over my child and my family. Kudos to her support team, and staff that carry the same load and values.
