We were given a lot of information very quickly. A few extra seconds to process the information would have been nice.

My care provider was very nice.

Dr. Koch immediately diagnosed my child's skin condition and discussed treatment options with her. She took my child's preferences into consideration when prescribing medication. She also advised us on what hygiene products to eliminate and suggested affordable alternatives for us to try. Her care was comprehensive.
