There is such an importance in listening to parents. Our child has been treated for adhd for years and on the second visit, the doctor wanted to change everything that has been in place for a year now and we are seeing success with. By not listening to parents that are very involved in their child’s care, it strains the relationship that could be established. The history of our child is important and we have worked very hard to work with her doctors to make decisions to help her be successful. This was not taken into account at all and we felt unheard so we will be changing doctors again.
Attentive, intelligent, caring
