I appreciate Dr. Font so much. She returns calls and takes time with my boys. New treatments others didn't try seem to be working. Always a very polite staff. Thanks, many times over. View on Google (opens in new tab)

My experience was pleasant at first until I was asked how much money I had, what my budget was!
