I think she's the best provider. I appreciate that. Thank you so much for that. She's so cooperative. She took care of my child as well. She listened carefully to us. She explained everything. I appreciate hearing her. Thank you for everybody. You have a good evening.

Sara is such an amazing NP. Every time I have a follow up appointment with her, my concerns are always addressed. I never feel like she is rushing me through the appointment, and she never seems rushed with me either. She always explains things to me in a way I can understand. I really enjoy seeing Sara each time I visit Dayton Children's.
