    The doctor gave the impression as to he wondered why we were there in the first place. We were referred there by the pcp, and he just stared at us waiting for us to say something several times. It was an awkward feeling.

    Dr. Dursem I want to personally thank you for addressing concerns that have trouble my heart for the longest. Thank you for taking time to listen and as you quoted "treat my daughter as if she were your own" . You are amazing and definitely called to walk in this path with our family. Gods blessings
