Patients can be evaluated by several providers in a single clinic visit, which enhances coordination of care and reduces the number of visits a family needs to make. Our team of specialists – which includes physicians, advanced practice providers, audiologists, and speech pathologists – looks forward to meeting with our pediatric patients and their families and providing caring and effective treatments to meet their needs.
