Absolutely amazing doctor. She listens to my son, and talks with him. She doesn't treat him like he's not a person because he's a child. She's got multiple ways to approach tough questions if one way doesn't work, which is great. She's great at explaining risks and benefits in a matter of fact way and letting you make your own decision as well.
