We've had an excellent experience here with Cindy Dusel, the APNP we've seen 3 times now. She is wonderful with kids, responsive to messages, patient, and takes the time to thoroughly explain everything. She is very dedicated and we highly recommend her
Cynthia and her student were amazing. Answered all my questions and provided detailed explanations for what my son's injury was. I was completely at ease after leaving knowing what he needed to heal.
