Loved that he took his time to explain everything my child was and will be going through. He also guaranteed me he would make sure any and all referrals we need would be taken care, and he would make sure she had appointments to those doctors, BEFORE he retires the end of June. So blessed to have had such an amazing pediatrician for all of my children, throughout the last 26 yrs.
