Dr Handwerger is the best! My daughter is usually too nervous to talk with adults but his amazing bedside manner had her chatting away! Thank you for the excellent care!
Dr Handwerger is always thorough, professional, and personable. He’s gentle with my little boy and understanding of his disabilities.
