Highlands Integrative Pediatrics

I can’t say enough good things about this place. They are all great positive staff with smiles on there faces from when you walk in to when you walk out. Great practice I have been taking my daughter here since she was 3 days old and have only had great experiences ever since.

We love this office. Dr. Kono has seen both of my boys since birth. Very lucky to be his patients!

We love going to Highlands integrative pediatrics! We see Dr Stacy and she is warm and caring! She spends time to answer all our questions and to even have a few minutes of quality time with our baby holding him! We are so glad we found such a wonderful pediatrician and office right in our neighborhood! The front desk staff is always helpful as well. I even had a question after our appointment once and the nurse call line looked up the information from our appointment and answered my questions right away!

I was disappointed in my experience with this office. I’d love a referral if someone else has found a nearby pediatrician that has a more manageable client load.

Phenomenal. We are so lucky to have found this clinic. They are communicative and always willing to answer questions and squeeze us in when our kiddo is sick. They also have a really solid integrative approach. I can’t say enough good!

We love Dr. Kono, however they’ve taken on too many patients and as of Fall 2015 they no longer offer high quality service. You can no longer make an appt to get the flu shot as in the past, you now have to come to one of their Thurs evening or Sat morning clinics a few weeks out. Frustrating to a working parent. I checked with parents at other pediatrics clinics and was told this was not the norm. It’s too bad because I like their approach with eastern & western medicine. However getting your child in for an appt for something as important as vaccines should not be denied & I was denied an appt.

I really wanted Highlands Integrative to be awesome but it just isn’t.
I started taking both my kids here for well child visits about 6 moths ago. The office is very nice and new and desk staff is friendly.
Since we are new, all new patients were being assigned to the PA, Stacy (?).
She is ok and that’s that. Nothing remarkable. She didn’t answer simple questions regarding vaccinations.
It’s fine. Nothing amazing and nothing terrible but just middle of the road. I will continue to take my kids for regular weigh ins but will continue to rely on our amazing doc (who is out of network with our insurance) for personal recommendations and questions and real help.

Amazinggggg doctor! My little girl had baby eczema. I went to few different doctors and it was getting worst till I saw doctor kono. My baby will be a year old in a few months and hasn’t gotten a flare out since she’s been with Dr Kono that was six months ago! God bless him and his amazing staff!

We saw Sarah Pilarowski in February because we have a son who is not growing very well. We had his medical records sent 2 weeks beforehand and drove from the mountains for our appointment. Dr. Pilarowski had not looked at his medical records before the office visit. This was frustrating because she was very unprepared. She finally did find the CD that had arrived from our pediatrician’s office and browsed through his medical records with the response «Well, I really can’t do anything for you, you need to see a geneticist.»
Our son’s case is somewhat complicated, but we did see another holistic pediatrician, Debby Hamilton, recently, and she was actually a huge help. Ordered some testing and recommended we eliminate dairy and put him on some vitamins — i.e. — at least trying something.
Perhaps we just had a bad experience, but we left the office feeling pretty disappointed. I came close to calling our insurance company to ask them not to pay since I don’t feel like we really received much service.

We moved from a few other pediatrics around town and they were all good, but we feel like we found where we belong. Our kids even say they want to go go to the doctor when they get a runny nose. It is a very comfortable environment and Brian is great with the kids. Very calm, reassuring, and professional. I also have to mention the best P.A. out there– Susie. We followed her from our last pediatrician per her recommendation of Brian’s practice and we couldn’t be happier.

We have been taking my son to see Dr. Bryan Kono since he was born. He was one of the physicians at the pediatric office we went to and Bryan diagnosed him with pyloric stenosis when no one else in the office thought it could be that. Because of him, we were able to get my son into surgery and got it taken care of. We have been dedicated to Dr. Kono ever since. My son is now 5 and we have a newborn daughter that we take to see him as well, of course.
One of the things we love about Dr. Bryan is that he is really laid back and is willing to talk with us about anything, without rushing AT ALL. My son actually likes going to the doctor because he really enjoys talking to Dr. Bryan. He makes us all feel comfortable and like we are friends, instead of just his patients.
His new office is comfortable and his entire staff is friendly and helpful. I can email them for paperwork or with questions and they always get back to me really quickly and never make me feel like I am bothering them.
I highly recommend Dr. Kono. He is excellent!

This office is SO friendly, patient, and clean! Nurse Susie is amazing. Dr. Kono is super patient. Even the front desk was nice, from my first phone call. I was never treated like a hassle as my daughter was a new patient. Outstanding client care. I’m more than happy to write this review :)

First of all, I have to admit that I found a great pediatric practice a year ago when my son was born. I really loved them, but a few months after my son was born, we moved, and I wanted to find something closer to home. I didn’t want to find a new pediatrician unless it was the perfect fit for my family, and HIP really has been the perfect fit for us so far.
Why do we love it so?
— The waiting room is awesome. They split the sick and well kids and have fun things for them to climb on/​in. But we’ve been about four times so far and haven’t had to wait very long at all.
— The office staff has always been friendly, supportive, kind, and, most importantly, they are great to my son.
— Dr. Kono has a great demeanor and is easy to talk to.
— My son had some kind of allergic reaction, so we were a little nervous and had to have blood taken. It’s a surprisingly traumatic experience to have a baby’s blood drawn, and the staff was really kind and did a great job during the whole experience. When they received the results, Dr. Kono called to discuss everything with my wife and me and we felt like he spent lots of time answering our questions.
HIP offers other services in the space, like drop-​in yoga classes and workshops, but we haven’t attended any yet, so I can’t vouch for them. But I’m looking forward to going in the future, and I’ll update my review.

Dr. Bryan Kono just opened this practice in the Highlands. I wound up with my son as a patient because of high praise the Highlands Mommies had for Dr. Kono. As usual, they were right.
My son is 11 weeks. We saw Dr. Kono a week ago and he diagnosed him with a respiratory virus. Since that appointment, he called to check on Mars two times, one time on the weekend. Today, we went back because I was worried about my son’s progress.
My husband and I recently downsized to one car. He dropped me off at the appointment but had to drop his work truck off at the garage. Due to snowfall during rush hour, was super late picking me up. And his phone died, so I wasn’t sure when he would make it. Dr. Kono offered to take me and my son home! I knew my husband was on the way, and didn’t want him to go out of his way! So I declined. We waited around some more… I was starting to get concerned. Finally, Dr. Kono insisted on taking us home. I reluctantly agreed and put a note on the door. Just as he had finished dusting the snow off his car, my husband pulled up.
There are few people who go above and beyond in their daily careers, so it’s absolutely shocking when it happens. Also, he cares about his patients and doesn’t have an iota of an ego. In fact when he calls you on the phone, he just says his name (Bryan. Not Doctor Kono.) As a sidenote, I have a client who is a DENTIST. When he calls me, he refers to himself as Dr. so-​and-​so. His email is
It’s gross. Dr. Kono is completely opposite of him — he’s humble, gracious and more than deserving of his title.
Also, I ADORE his staff. Nurse Suzie (Susie?) cares about my son and is wonderfully personable. She’s truly great. And front desk Lindsey is sweet as well. Oh and this isn’t just a pediatrician’s office! They will have yoga, workshops and classes here as well. And they’ve got fatboy beanbags!
This is a wonderful practice that will surely grow like crazy. Get in now while you can!
