Grin Pediatrics is wonderful. They are super friendly and nurturing. My children get the best care and we always feel heard. They accommodate our large family of 5 children all in one appt. It's always clean and welcoming. I would refer this place to everyone who has children.

I had a great time experience and itinerary wise, however the lack of food options for vegetarians was disappointing. Another student and I were stuck paying for virtually all of our meals because of the “accommodations” they make for our diets. I was fed just salad at times with vegetables on the side. While I’m not complaining about local cuisine I am saying that other classmates were fed whole plates while once I had a sunny side up egg on potatoes. The experience otherwise was great and I enjoyed the vast cities we traveled to and the activities that were planned.

I like that they cater to the children. But in all the exam rooms the floors and chairs need to be deep cleaned and sanitized. Staff is wonderful
