Overview

Services

Dr. Basel considers himself very fortunate to be able to do what he does. Not only does he get to work in a field that he is passionate about, but he is afforded the opportunity to meet people who have been searching for answers which we can frequently provide to help them understand why they have the health concerns that they do. Many of the disorders that we deal with have no cure, but being able to guide care that is available and see the impact it has on a patient’s life, is gratifying.

It was everything that I expected from Children's!

Appreciate that took time with us. We never felt like we were being rushed. Answered all our questions, even with hand drawn diagrams to help us fully understand.

Both the ladies that came in and seen and talked to us about my sons genetics were very patient and answered all of my questions. They both made sure I understood the process of genetic testing and were very good with my son and his medical issues when it comes to not liking the medical exam. I would recommend anyone to Childrens.

We showed up early to our appointment. No one checked us in as no one was at the front desk. Our appointment was at 8:00 then we were called at 8:15 to come back. There is much improvement needed for this clinic. There were two other families in the same situation. Also, the scheduling process was not ideal. I missed the first phone call and I called back twice for an appointment and left messages. Then I was able to connect with the scheduler. Then one week later then I received a phone call to schedule the appointment which was already scheduled....
