He seem like he was knowledgeable about our situation. He listen to her and ask many questions to make sure he was diagnosing her properly and also eased my fear with a certain medication I did trust his judgment not that I felt he was lacking in no way he was just through enough to put me at ease with prescribing medication to my grandaughter he listen to both of us and came to his best judgment of what was going on with her so thank you.

He thoroughly explained a sleep study for my three-year-old autistic child.

This provider is very thorough in explaining the diagnosis or potential diagnosis. He's very thorough in ensuring that the potential diagnosis is what it is with weaned out different things and not just going off of what the tests are saying, but actually making sure that the test data has a narrative. Very patient in great bedside manners. He has a sense of humor. I really enjoyed his service of working with my child and the way that he explained the information to myself and his father. He made us feel very comfortable with an uncomfortable situation or conversation that needed to be had on behalf of my child's well-being. So keep doing a good job and I thank you for allowing him to practice because he is very good at what he does.
