Dr Fennell is a good Dr. I don't think she was a good fit for my family. My daughter had symptoms for over a month and I felt like there was no help to figure them out.

I don't think the team gave us all the potential issues we may see until treatment is complete. Our child not only had difficulty ambulating post but has photophobia and waiting for ophthalmology to see him

Dr. Fennell is the best doctor to see. She explained everything, she broke it down so we understood and she gave us hope

She made me feel like I was an inconvenience to her even though our Dr referred us.

Child's issues seem like they are not a concern of this offices specialty at this time.

Treatment options were limited only to long-term pharmaceuticals. I felt like this was/is a hasty way to proceed. I asked for a referral to get a second opinion.
