Coastal Pediatrics in Savannah, Pooler
Great pediatric care goes beyond the appointment itself.
The goal at Coastal Pediatrics, which has locations in Savannah and Pooler, is to make every child feel comfortable and every parent feel supported.
Check out this parent review of Coastal Pediatrics.
”If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Both Mallory & Dr. Behm have cared for our children since birth (4 years and counting), and I can honestly say we’ve never had a single bad experience.
They treat my children like little humans, not just patients, and the love and compassion they show shines through every visit.
The nurses are absolute angels (the kind who somehow get my kids to laugh even when there are shots involved), and the front desk staff is always welcoming supportive, and efficient. This office is truly one of a kind.
We feel so lucky to have such an incredible team keeping our little ones healthy (and making us parents feel supported along the way). Highly recommend to anyone looking for pediatric care that goes above and beyond.”
