We enjoyed our visit.

She was willing to see my other child while we were there of her not being, not having an appointment. So what I'm getting at is that she's, she was willing to go ahead and see my other child even though she was there to see my child that wasn't there for the, that wasn't for the appointment. So it's nice of her being able to see both of my children. That's all.

Dr. DeWitt gave us enough time and she listened to us and she understood very quickly about my son, although it was her second time meeting him. But she made him and us very comfortable and our appointment went very well.
