Dr. Jessica is amazing, definitely one of the best doctors that we have seen. My kids loved her and felt comfortable with her. She was very kind and patient. She answered all my questions and was able to diagnose my son right away. It was a huge relief and she explained to me what my son had and addressed all my concerns.
