Dr. Close took the time to listen to our concerns as parents, ease our worries, and answer any questions we had. She is compassionate and caring. She made our son’s health a priority and took great concern to ensure he returned to good health. Forever grateful for her!

She was very friendly and polite, explained things very well and answered all my questions made me feel calm, which I appreciate

I feel the question about how much the provider cares for my child as a person is unnecessary. I don't expect any doctor to care deeply for me or my child as a person. She was excellent relationally to both my child and myself but I am looking for a professional not a therapist/friend when I'm looking for medical answers. Dr. Close exceeded my expectations and I felt confident in her plan of action.
