The providers were very professional as well as personable, took their time to answer any questions and make sure I understood what they were talking about. They were also very sweet with my daughter.

I liked how patient she was with my daughter. She was very approachable. She was very warm. She explained everything in a way that everyone understood. You know, my daughter was at times kind of, you know, distracted and she never once acted like she was in a rush or on a time crunch to get the appointment over with. And I would highly recommend her to my friends and family with their children.

Dr. T is absolutely amazing. She helped my family through a difficult time when my child was having behavior concerns and we were just unsure of what steps to take, what to do next, even feeling uncertain about our parenting. And she provided not only care, addressing our concerns for our child's health, but even care and talking to us as parents, like reassurance. And she makes my child feel very comfortable. Every visit she's always encouraging and supportive, even if the conversation is difficult or we're talking about anything that may be difficult. She always addresses it with care and concern and compassion, and I appreciate her so much for that.

I was actually listened to and given the proper tools to move forward! If I could give a score higher than 10 I would!!
