She was very approachable, friendly with smile throughout the appointment
The attention of the doctor who treated me was super nice, thank you.
Our experience was very positive. The provider and staff put us and our grandson at ease; he was made to comfortable. Friendly yet professional. I was relieved to know the provider understood our concerns and she explained in a manner in which was easy to understand.
They explained to me how they could help my son improve his diagnosis, and I felt supported by the medical team that treated us.
Dr Farrell was thorough and quite helpful in establishing a diagnosis for my child. She listened to our concerns and took her time. I would recommend her without hesitation.
