Excellent service
She's very knowledgeable, listens and works with us on what we feel comfortable doing for treatment of my son's epilepsy. She's also very prompt and helpful whenever we have any concerns or issues. I'm glad she is the one who took over my son's neurological care when his neurologist relocated.
I appreciated how she didn't make us feel rushed and created a very comfortable setting. She was very knowledgeable and informative answering any and all questions that we had. She made me feel very optimistic, especially when we had been waiting for answers for so long that were stressfully unknown up until then. We came out of the appointment feeling at ease and like we were finally moving in the right direction.
The NP was kind, relatable, and showed interest with our concerns
Kind and thorough, offered several treatment options with pros and cons of each. Listened to teen and parent; followed up with further clarification and ideas. I'm so impressed with her warmth, competence, and commitment to quality care.
Very good
She's very kind and knowledgeable about my son's epileptic disorder. She always listens and makes decisions with us for my son.

We loved her, very personable, addressed all of our concerns.
Great job and very helpful
She explained things in a great way.
Very well I understand very well all the needs that the patient has
This doctors visit was very pleasant from the person that checked me in the nurse was amazing and also the doctor was amazing. All of our needs were met and I'm looking forward to our new doctor.
The neurologist listened to our concerns instead of putting my daughter in a category and dismissing our concerns she actually took the time to study my daughters symptoms.
Very good
She is very caring and thoughtful. I appreciated her use of consent as well
