Dr. Evans has the most amazing bedside manner. My son loved him, and even talked about how funny he was after the appointment. I appreciated that Dr. Evans talked directly to my son about his symptoms. He took the time to explain why they were happening to him in a way that a 10 year old can understand. Then also explained to him exactly how his new medication would work, how long he would have to use it, and the importance of being consistent. Dr. Evans gave my son the chance to be his own advocate, to be involved and responsible in his own health, and I love that he treated him as a young adult. Dan Evans has a kind of compassion that is so hard to find. I will be forever grateful not only for the care he is providing to my son now, but also to have had the opportunity to work with him as a nurse once upon a time.
