Testimonials

I spent 4 years taking my son to various pediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, and psychologists, plus countless school meetings. It was a frustrating, emotional, stressful, and tiring life, and my only goal was to find someone to help my child. My son didn’t seem to fit the typical mold of any diagnosis. He was a little of this and a little of that. I felt many doctors were only willing to spend 15 minutes with us and never cared enough to look deeper. I had all but given up hope until we found you. You listened, you cared, and you offered real suggestions. You helped us find the root of my son’s issues. I am thrilled to have a happy, successful boy who we can finally understand.

My daughter was having trouble in school and we were sent to see Dr. D. My husband and I were very concerned about how a psychiatrist would approach treating our child. After the first appointment, we realized Dr. D. is truly amazing. He is wonderful with my daughter and really takes the time to listen and get to know her. He’s not a pill pusher, but will obviously give suggestions. He never seems to judge or make us feel rushed. I actually brag about how lucky we were to have found Dr. D. 
Mom
I came to Dr. D. at a critical point in my life. He took the time to listen and ask questions, and he validated my responses. He’s been in my corner for all the years that I’ve seen him. I always had a sense of serenity when I walked into his office. He is a gentle and caring soul—a man of great wisdom and I am grateful for his help.
