Really knowledgeable about the issues with my daughters spine, didn't minimize anything, and honest about results and feedback.

My oldest daughter has been coming to Dayton children's for a couple years now. They've been great every single time! Now my youngest daughter is a patient and they've been just as great as the first time.

Everything went smoothly. My child was given opportunities to weigh in to her care and ask questions as well. Next steps were clear and next appointment easily scheduled.

He and his resident were very friendly, very open and encouraging. I have a son on the spectrum and he was not the most cooperative, but they were patient and cheerful and he explained the situation to me well, answered my questions, quelled my fears and I felt very good about the appointment at the conclusion. I'd also like to add that I have a daughter who actually had a surgery there with Dr. Albert and I trust the doctors at Dayton Children's Orthopedics implicitly and they will always be my first choice and I will always recommend them.
