We started with evaluations and visits during COVID lockdowns, so weve been having virtual appointments each month. I cant articulate how valuable each appointment has beenDr. Otite somehow seems to ask just the right questions, and each of my kids who sees her actually enjoys speaking with her because it is clear to them (and me) that Dr. Otite pays attention and cares about what each of them say, what they are feeling, what they are interested in, etc. Its only been about 10 months since weve met her, but Ive seen marked improvement in each of the children; more importantly

I've got two children who see Dr. Otite and she's very good with both of them. She's gentle and stern as needed, and always professional. I was leery of taking my son and daughter to a psychiatrist, but she's no one-size-fits-all shrink. If you want solid individual treatment plans for your kids, and great parenting advice in potentially difficult situations, make an appointment!

Dr. Otite is fantastic. She always takes the time to listen and provide guidance for my son. He literally LOVES to go and see her-she has helped to get his ADHD in check and provide him with useful tools to help him in his everyday life. I highly recommend.

Report
My stepson was diagnosed by this doctor the first visit with him. During that visit we were told that he should not see his mother AT ALL. so we took all visitation away. She scheduled an appointment a month away to explain to the mother what was going on and why. I showed up with the mother (I am the stepmom) and she refused to see us without the child there. After explaining why the child was NOT supposed to be there to multiple people in the office we were told that the psychologist would not see us unless he was there. So after reuniting the child with his mother and going into the appointment
