She was warm and friendly to our 5yr old asking her questions and the parents as needed. It was nice for Rose to feel she had a voice in her own care.

This was my first time meeting Dr priestly. She left me with the feeling that I have to prove myself as a good parent that’s able to care for “sick” kiddos. I did NOT get the feeling she has a lick of confidence in my care even tho I’ve been at this 23 years now. 🙄 while she may be knowledgeable I want a Dr who will trust me as a parent and care giver. Not asserting her knowledge over me.

She listened to me and didn't talk down to me. I felt she truly empathize with my journey and valued my opinion and knowledge. She also made sure I understood everything we spoke on.
