Dr. Pela was so personable and thorough! I love the way she interacted with my autistic child and am looking forward to acquainting her with my other two kids. I was determined to find a competent and compassionate pediatrician since we moved here and am happy to report that we have found her!

Miss pela is amazing my daughter has seen her since an infant however Thompson Farms location is a joke . I called the office at 9am asked for an appointment with her to be told no I had to be a walk in . So we arrive at 10:30 check in and have a seat in a lobby full of people so I assumed this would take a while . As we sit patiently i notice people going back and leaving befor we are even called on . So after 2 hours I ask how long it may be she then responded I was never checked in . The front counter staff is so unprofessional on the phone and in person I have never had a good experience there.
