Dr. E was very attentive and did not rush us. He took his time to understand the whole picture, seized opportunities to coach my son, and considered my input as a parent. He is always kind and accommodating. He ensured we have a good understanding of the plan and made me feel like we are partners working for the best for my child.

Dr. Emereonye is fantastic! Listens to concerns and has great feedback. I only gave him a 10 because the system doesn't let me give him a 100. ?

Dr E is really gifted. He connects with my son at a "real talk" level. No BS. Just truth. Very easy to understand, explains the "why's", really listens. I wish he had room for more patients in his clinic. I have a friend with a son on the spectrum who could really benefit from his help. Highly highly recommend
