What to Expect During a Visit 

Office visits are tailored to the unique needs of each patient. We begin with a detailed conversation with both the patient and their parent or caregiver, followed by a limited physical exam if needed. We use specialized equipment designed for younger patients and take time to explain any diagnosis or treatment options in a clear, respectful way.
