Dr Sinclair has been my son's psychologist for a while now and he is considered part of our family. He truly is an amazing psychologist to whom we fully trust the emotional, mental well being of my son and in turn our family. He has always been attentive, patient, and truly listens to our concerns. He is definitely an asset to Dayton Children's Hospital. He addresses all our questions and has provided invaluable advise for my son and our family. I don't know what we would to without his guidance, I am so grateful to have him as part of our family's Care Team.
