My Dr is the best. She even allows me to have an opinion on his plan of care. We plan my son's care together. I love this. She allows me to get a understanding. I may ask the same question over and over and she doesn't mind speaking to me in regular terms so I can understand

I want to say for GI, she's a good provider. She does know how to do her job, but at some point, it does feel like she's attacking the parent because my husband felt attacked when we went in before February, the appointment we had, stating that our son was having some kind of weight issue and he's been sick and everything, and it felt like we were not heard and everything like that. But when we went in February, everything was answered, and it was more of a better visit than what we had prior.

This provider was extremely great with my granddaughter. Every time we go, it's wonderful. She's very attentive to her and very caring and very professional. Just a very wonderful experience.
