We find this suburban Columbia location much, much easier to visit than Hopkins downtown with our young twins. We are very pleased with the care provided by pediatric endocrinologist Dr Yasmine Acktar (spelling?). Our children adore her, she has a warm bedside manner and offers insight to help us best manage their condition going forward. There is a phlebotomy lab on the ground floor of the building next door, though it may be easier to drive over and park closer if a 5 minute walk is logistically difficult.
