Dec 28, 2023
My LO saw Dr. P and he was awesome. He was very efficient and explained things in detail about my daughters needs. He even drew a picture explaining what her diagnosis was and how we could treat it. I did not feel overwhelmed and he did not pressure me into making a decision that day. He also gave me multiple pamphlets of information to read so I could understand what the treatments would look like. I truly appreciate this because he is allowing me as the parent to decide but also making me knowledgeable on the diagnosis. Thanks Dr. P
