We love Dr. Dahlinghaus and her nurses! She is very understanding and takes time to explain things. Anytime we have to call the clinic and talk to the nurse Dr. D is always quick to respond with answers.

Dr. Dollinghouse is very kind and concerned. She always explains things thoroughly to make sure that I understand, and she waits to hear my input about any potential decisions or courses of action. She's been my child's provider since he was an infant, and now he's almost eight years old, period. We love her and are very thankful to have had her all these years.

Dr Dahlinghaus is fabulous. Thorough, thoughtful, and intentional about including my daughter in the appt. She took the time to secure results that were sent by and outside lab and to review these with me all during the appt versus brushing it off and saying she'd fully up later. This made us feel valued and really demonstrated her care for my daughter. We have so much confidence in Dr Dahlinghaus and feel confident our daughter is in great hands!
