I chose my specialty because...

I enjoy helping patients feel better and improving their quality of life. Neurological disorders such as epilepsy, chronic headaches/pain, Tourette's etc. can be so overwhelming and life changing. It is rewarding to help patients and their families overcome the challenges related to their diagnosis and live life to their fullest.

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.

We have had two appointments onsite at Dayton Childrens Hospital and it is always a great experience. The staff is super friendly and always great communication with the nurses and doctors. The EEG staff does a great job. I have never felt overwhelmed with the process and my daughter even notices a difference from other hospitals she has been to for EEG's.
