He’s funny, my son loves his personality, and he goes out of his way to make sure the parent and the child understand what has happened and the best option in route for treatment. He and his team take such precise, and specific care every time we are in. With my child breaking 9 bones in 2 1/2 years, we have interacted with everyone on the team at some point. The front desk ladies work hard to make sure the check-in process, and scheduling is easy on the parents and schedules. The office manager is incredible, and Renee will do anything she can to help you if you need her. All of the wonderful nurses, x-ray techs, and Medical assistants have a great personalities, and my son loves to chat with them about “what he did this time” every time we are in. I’d go as far as saying, knowing a trip to see his second family, at his second home, sort of cushions the blow every time he gets hurt. ;)”
