I chose my specialty because...

I enjoy helping patients feel better and improving their quality of life. Neurological disorders such as epilepsy, chronic headaches/pain, Tourette's etc. can be so overwhelming and life changing. It is rewarding to help patients and their families overcome the challenges related to their diagnosis and live life to their fullest.

Dayton Children's truly cares about the kids and the families that walk through the door. The staff fully support Dayton Children's mission and it feels like a home away from home.

Dayton Children's is special because...

we are a free standing pediatric hospital with awesome staff who come to work because we enjoy providing excellent health care to our pediatric community.

She was courteous, she was kind, she worked well both with me and my son. She also not only laid out the next step with his treatment, but gave several options for future treatment should things need to change. And I truly, truly appreciated that she worked out several options because this means that we're able to move forward quicker without having to have as many visits. I was very, very, very pleased. Even my son commented how nice she was when we left. So I definitely two thumbs up.

Sara is wonderful! Talks to my child and not just to me. And then she listens carefully! She did a fantastic job explaining, laying out our options and then helping us decide the best course of action! Tequila and Jen R were also very helpful and kind. It was a great experience!
