she was very nice to the parent and conversed in a nice manor with the baby. The long wait time in the ER is terrible but she saw us within a couple of minutes of being put into a room. She answered all our questions and didnt disrespect us.

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
