Doctor A was incredible. She listened to everything I said. She took extra time to find us the help we need. We were never rushed. She was so patient and kind. My daughter and I had a wonderful experience. I'm beyond grateful for her help!!!

Dr. Tahira Adelakhan is a wonderful developmental pediatrician. I love the fact that she is a brown woman in the healthcare field supporting my little brown girl. Dr. Adelakhan from day one was very kind and compassionate when we met her in 2022-2023 to discuss and explore possibility of our daughter being autistic. And the level of care she's shown us is unmatched. We are super grateful as we navigate this journey with our daughter a few years down the road. And she's doing much better. Thank you so much for your support, your service, your knowledge, and your compassion, Dr. Adelakhan and your team.
