 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Alyssa was AMAZING! Before I could even open my mouth to let her know my son was on the spectrum, she was already explaining  what she was doing (step by step) so he understood what the process was, what the process was for and was comfortable. It genuinely means so much when someone goes out of their way to do those kinds of things but it was honestly the fact that I didn't even have to say anything- she just picked up on it and did her thing.

Honestamente me encantó la atención y amable que son todos aki a mis niños les gustó también ya son muchas veces que mis niños vinieron a su cita y todo bien gracias a las enfermeras y doctores fueron muy buenos y mucho porque ellos te explican todo lo que le va hacer a tu niño y que tiene mil gracias por su apoyo ❤️🙋🏻‍♀️ hoy de hecho, mi hijo tuvo una cita y pues yo llené los papeles en línea, y creo que me equivoqué en unas respuestas pero gracias a personal de la oficina enfrente la asistente me ayudó con eso así que la verdad hasta el momento ahorita se han portado bien con mis niños y pues no hay nada mal ahí se los recomiendo me encanta porque tiene juguetes y ahí se puede entretener los niños en lo que esperan. Que pasen adentro.
