What parents are saying about KixCare

"I love Kixcare!!!! It is so helpful to be able to have medical care for my children at the touch of a finger. We are all better now , thanx to the caring nurses and thier ability to quickly write prescriptions and diagnose the issue. One of my boys has severe respiratory issues and I was so realized I didn’t have to wait hours in the ER. Kept us out of the hospital and safe at home!”

“We had the BEST experience using KixCare. We were lucky enough to get a cancellation appointment that came available 45 minutes after we called. Dr Michaud was amazing – she was kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, and she arrived to the virtual call on time…”

“Definitely the way to get prompt, professional and courteous service. In the absence of vacationing parents (and under my watch for a week), I was concerned about my granddaughter's serious cough. Because I could not get an appt with the child's paediatrician for one week, I was pleasantly surprised to find that a video appointment was readily available through KixCare…”

“Knowledgeable and caring staff who follow up to ensure a solution has been found. There is also consistency among nurses so you can pick up from where you left off which is such a time saver and a smooth experience. I feel great knowing I can quickly ask a question regarding my kids health, often questions I would have brushed off if I didn’t fee they warranted an appointment or were time sensitive. I fully recommend KixCare paediatrician and nurse services.”

“This is such an amazing service! During the RSV and flu outbreaks I was trying to avoid bringing my small baby to a crowded waiting room; and this is when I found KixCare! They checked his rash via a video chat and treated it promptly, professionally, and completely virtually! I am so grateful for finding them!”
