She is a very personable, friendly, and caring pediatrician. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Dr. Sifontes. My friend had been to several doctors searching for someone to make an accurate diagnosis for her son. Dr. Sifontes listened and was able to diagnose the problem without costly drugs. My friend referred her. My kids love her. She has a motherly, home care feel, making it easy for my children to see her. She gives solid, practical remedies and doesn't over-prescribe. She remembers the children and communicates with them well. One of the things I love about her is her sense of humor. She will definitely make her patients laugh. (Laughter is the best medicine).
