Amanda was incredibly detailed in her history and genuinely cared about my child

Amanda was very attentive and allowed me to explain in detail why I wanted my son to be evaluated. I was impressed with her ability to type while engaging in our conversation. She also included my son (who's 5) into the discussion and she asked him if there was anything else she needed to know. He kindly reminded me about a coughing episode he had at school. She was so wonderful, I'm bringing my eldest to see her in March. I also liked her approach to my son's treatment plan and kindly changed it to accommodate my request for a nebulizer.
