Dr Poulos was very kind, easy to talk to. She made my daughter feel completely comfortable. She allowed me to asked as many questions as I needed and even emailed me additional information I inquired about immediately after our appointment. Our report we need was completed in a very timely manner. Ive already recommended her to 2 other families
