My daughter was seen by Dr. Bristol at 2.5 months old for craniosynostosis. This doctor is amazing! She explains things to me, answers all my many questions, and is just polite and a delight to be around. Very knowledgeable and I'd highly recommend her! Everyone I talk to about Dr. Bristol agrees she's an amazing, smart, and caring doctor.
