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.

First, Doctor, he was wonderful. We really wanted to say thank you to the nurses that were very accommodating to my son who is autistic. And they went out of their way to make sure he was happy and providing toys and providing extra effort. So we just appreciate the extra effort. Thank you.
