The Dr was amazingly empathetic, his attention was very pleasant for us as parents, he explained everything in detail, gave us the necessary information to understand the child's situation and provided us with different options, always attentive that we understood everything explained, without a doubt, it was an excellent experience and I would not hesitate to attend again if my son needed it, I would recommend it anyway.

Dr Clayton was very attentive and didn't talk down to us which was great. He listened to my comments, asked the right questions, and made a plan that helps me feel confident as the mom that we can find solutions. He offered options and addressed concerns I had and other treatment options I brought up.
