Dr. Bilge Johnson was incredibly helpful, respectful, and knowledgeable. We switched to her from a different provider and it was a very positive improvement! She really listened to our son's complex history and took our insight into account before sharing her very professional opinion on how to help him. She also seems very eager to have follow-up communication, which is important to us, and already scheduled his next appointment. We are very grateful for Dr. Johnson's guidance and expertise!
