Patient verified via Press Ganey

I was so overwhelmed when we arrived, because my son was having such a hard time. I was met with so much patience, kindness, and understanding by everyone we encountered. Dr. Shelton spoke to me in a way that felt like a mother talking to another mother, and I cannot express with words how appreciative I am for the time she took to listen and talk with me through everything to expect, as well as gave me some extremely helpful tips and information on preparing my child for his upcoming sleep study.
