This provider has extensive life experience and book knowledge of treating children with complex cases. I am very satisfied with his intent listening and thought process and process of elimination to try to help diagnose and rule out specific conditions.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. E. He has been incredibly flexible on scheduling. He takes time. He actually makes eye contact. Questions, follow-up questions after me rambling about, you know, things that, you know, are my concerns. He listens. He gets back in a timely fashion or has emerged in a timely fashion through my chart. Actual total kudos and aces to Dr. E.

We love Dr. E. We moved from northern Virginia 1.5 years ago and I think her is one of my favorite things about the move. He is a wonderful man, highly intelligent, I value all of his feedback and suggestions.
