I love that this provider takes the time to ask questions and he does look at things from a parents point of view as well as the child. He offers good advice and a variety of solutions.

Yes, just to let you know that Dr. E, my daughter, loves him. He is wonderful. We are so thankful we found him because we had many providers before who did not listen, but he absolutely does everything that we need him to do. His staff are extremely friendly, extremely helpful. He is amazing. I wish you had 20 more of him in different fields because he is exactly what my daughter needs and he has done amazing things with her care. So I thank him very much.
