She us a thorough and knowledgeable service provider. She is willing to listen to your treatment preferences and accomodate if possible but will remain firm if she believes alternatives are less effective or otherwise undesirable. Amazing rapport with kids and impeccable bedside manner! Everything you could hope for in a pediatrician.
