Was very on point and helped with doing research on school help needs.

I would prefer having a doctor again. The person I spoke to didn't understand why my daughter was on the medication amounts and why it worked at night for her. She also focuses repeatedly on my daughter having alcohol in the womb and(she's adopted) and no other doctor has ever done that. They always try to treat her diagnoses of autism, ADHD, OCD, sensory, etc... But she always talks about the effects of alcohol. Nobody knows if that's what caused my daughter's diagnoses, she doesn't have physical signs of fasd.

I had a wonderful experience with both the NP student and Dana Madden. I will actually be switching providers because I enjoy her style more.
