Dr. Meyer was very thorough in his evaluation and made sure to explain everything in a way that was comfortable and calming for my 8 year old son. He took the time to answer all of my son’s questions regardless of how silly they were. He gave us options and his expert opinion on how to treat my son and we felt very confident with making decisions together. My interpretation of the events and treatment that Dr. Meyer performed was that we greatly reduced the chances of surgery being required.
