As a parent of a neurodiverse child, I must express my utmost admiration for Dr. Busby. This is our second visit, and from my observations and experiences, Dr. Busby consistently demonstrates genuine interactions and a patient demeanor. Despite the hour-long travel to see him for my child, both visits have been exceptional. I would rather travel for someone who genuinely cares and possesses patience than to seek someone in town who lacks passion or any form of patience.
