Dr. Blaine's bedside manner is so wonderful. He asks my son permission before examining him and gives an age appropriate description of everything he is going to do before he does it. My son has been through quite a bit of medical experiences and he previously struggled even with things like blood pressure readings, etc. Dr. Blaine's kind nature puts him right at ease.

Our experience was stellar. The doctor asked a lot of questions, listened to the answers, and offered a diagnosis that made a lot of sense to us and fit with all her symptoms.

I really appreciated how he talked to my daughter and told her what was going to happen, really kind and impressive!

Dr Lapin deals directly with her because she is 17 and he treats her like an adult. He does include me in the conversation but respects her concerns and opinions.
