        Her psychiatry, Rebecca, was very polite. She was understanding. She was very patient. She knew a lot of things that I had problems with as far as not being able to tell other people to get people to understand. She had referred me to resources. She was just really great with me and sincere. Thank you.

        Dr. Vaurio is simply the best! She cares about understanding my child, not just giving them a diagnosis

        Dr. Vaurio is incredibly thoughtful, and truly cares about getting to know our kid rather than finding the most expedient diagnosis.

        I loved the translator assigned to me. I wish she'd been more attentive. Her name is Dory, apparently. Very professional. The best I've ever had.

        Dr. Vaurio gave exceptional help to our family. We found the all-day testing to be exceptionally accurate, and her discussion of the results of the tests were very helpful and provided a lot of insight into the struggles right now that our daughter is having.
