Nominating Doctor Amber Loyson --Not only is Dr. Loyson my daughter's doctor she is also my co-workers.  Dr. Loyson is kind and caring. She always goes the extra mile for anyone.  Never rushed or bother by my million questions.  Best part is when she reviews her files at night and calls you personally to either check on your child or go over missed questions.  We love Dr. Amber.
