He is always understanding and caring and my daughter really likes him

Hi, Dr. Sinclair was absolutely wonderful. He spent time with me and he was very thorough in his explanation on possible helpful tips to help my son. The only negative I had, which wasn't his fault, he had difficulties, technical difficulties as far as getting on, that's why the appointment started a little late. So it wasn't his fault that it was on a timely manner, it was the technical difficulties.

This doctor made me feel genuinely cared about, despite the current situation of a shortage of mental health care providers.
