      Dr. Bedford is clearly very knowledgeable and experienced, but even better, she is very good at connecting with children and making them feel comfortable about their visit. So she gets top marks from me.

      Provider assisted in issue that child needed to be seen for, but was not very respectful to child. Rather than asking child to do certain things, she pushed the child into positions that she wanted to examine him. After the appointment my child asked to never see her again saying he had a lot of questions to ask her and she did not allow him to ask and he did not like that she pushed him around. Overall she addressed the issue at hand, but was not terribly respectful to my child.

      Only feedback would be that I like when providers ask permission from my kid to do an examine and tell him what they're going to do or touch on his body before they do it.

      She's so patient with my kids, who have a lot of energy and get squirrely in the appointment. It doesn't seem to bother her and she has a way about her that makes the kids comfortable in her presence.
