I've been with Dr. Alecia almost all my adult life. He's always been a gentleman and very supportive. I have always admired his calm and gentle demeanor and delivery of information. He's been the best doctor and pediatrician my family has ever used. He's been our doctor for all three of my children into young adulthood. We've been seeing him since the mid 90s. I've never had a problem with him or his practice since then or any of his attending doctors while he was unavailable.
