After a very bad experience with an orthopedic surgeon in another health network, this visit made my daughter feel comfortable with the proposed treatment plan and that her pain would be addressed.

From the moment I checked in to my visit with the doctor and all the way through checking out, I felt seen and cared for. I felt comfortable asking questions at every point during my visit. I will always choose Dayton Children's because they make me feel like they are concerned about my injury and want to provide the best care and support to me.
