This provider was extremely compassionate and informed of the condition that my child was going through and interacted with my child in a kind way.

Already told people about the great experience. The integration of different types of treatment was impressive. In other places, we need to seek the different treatments (medication, PT, psych) separately.

It is too early to judge whether the provider's approach will work for my son. We are interested in trying it though.

There was a 4 month wait for first appointment and that appointment was not helpful. Then we rescheduled after 4 months and another 4 month wait. After a full year from the initial scheduling of the appointment, the patient was able to get care and a care plan.

I gave Dr. Schwantes a 10 because he's easy to understand. He's easy to get access to. He shares really complicated messages in very challenging scenarios with grace and he comes across with empathy. I would highly recommend him to anyone in a similar sort of a role. Thank you.

Great explanation of the syndrome and plan of care. The visit was moved up by 2 months as an earlier appointment opened up.

He keeps having suggestions when what we've tried doesn't work, and he's easy to talk to.
