We really loved our Dr! He was so kind and very patient to listen to our son and also to us. He was very informative and very thorough! He took his time to listen as well as explaining important things a d points about my son's diagnosis.

Dr. Dressler was thorough, knowledgeable, intentional, and personable. The appointment didn't feel rushed and honestly both my daughter and I enjoyed speaking with him. We learned some things and the issues we brought up felt thoroughly addressed. Thank you!

By far one of the best providers we have seen at Vanderbilt. He took his time asked all the questions and explained everything in detail.

Dr Dressler is always attentive and thoughtful. He doesnt push for certain treatments, but listens to my ideas and helps coordinate a plan that works for us. He's just the best!

Dr. Dressler was incredible with our son! He took time to actually talk with us in depth about what the plan moving forward. I also feel like he went above and beyond by helping us address issues we have with adhd forms filled out by teachers. He wants the new teachers to do it over again and even sent home instructions for them. I plan on recommending him to everyone!! We are so glad to finally have someone that listens to us as parents and actually seems to be enthusiastic about his job/position!
