    Dr Larson and all staff were fantastic. I was amazed by the level of attention they gave to my concerns and felt they truly listened. They were very compassionate and described everything to my child through a sensitive lense.

    Dr. Larson was so knowledgeable and available to my son and I. She took the necessary care to cover all of our questions and concerns. It is easy to see that she truly cares about her patients and their parents. During the visit our son expressed his "trust" In Dr. Larson.

    Absolutely incredible care. It makes me feel very relieved if we ever need care for our children again that this hospital and staff are available. It was worth the 2 Hour Drive for us.

    My 4 year old was very comfortable with the nurse that met us and the nurse in radiology. The Dr we seen was very friendly and showed to be in a great mood the entire time. I appreciated that very much.
