Cynthia was phenomenal with our son and us! She explained everything extremely well and we walked away from both our appointments with her understanding perfectly what our son's treatment would be and how his injury would heal. She took her time and obviously cares about her patients a great deal. She also spoke directly to our 7 year-old , and made sure to answer any questions he had. We would see Cynthia again in a heartbeat!!
