I really appreciated the time dr. Henson spent with me. He genuinely seemed interested in my daughter's condition, had already done some research on her condition, had already collaborated with one of my daughters other providers, and listened to information i had to share and asked me to send him more info. I thoroughly appreciated the value he placed on my daughter, as so much of society throw our sweet disabled children away.

We got there when we were supposed to get there and we sat for almost an hour before we could be seen by the doctor. I don't know whether there was an issue in the back rooms, but I was very disappointed in how long it took for us to get back to the doctor. Once we got there, it was excellent. Thank you.
