I'm not sure if you want this added here, but my son's neurologist is also super! he is very responsive to our requests and he actually listens to my concerns and answers all of my questions before proceeding with a different treatment plan.

He is Dr. Ronald Thibert, in the Pediatric epilepsy department at Massachusetts General Hospital.
