    We have been seeing Dr. Erin Dahlinghaus for a few years now. She is very good at listening to my input as a parent and making a care plan that we can both agree is best for my child. We are always very happy with the care provided by Dr. Dahlinghaus.

    This was our first time in the nephrology clinic. Dr Dahlinghaus was amazing. She was so kind and answered all of our questions. We had a clear understanding of next steps when we left. I made sure to ask the name of our nurse - Kendra. She was phenomenal and so very kind to my kids. I wish all of healthcare were filled with people like her.

    We love Dr. Dahlinghaus and her nurses! She is very understanding and takes time to explain things. Anytime we have to call the clinic and talk to the nurse Dr. D is always quick to respond with answers.

    Dr. Dollinghouse is very kind and concerned. She always explains things thoroughly to make sure that I understand, and she waits to hear my input about any potential decisions or courses of action. She's been my child's provider since he was an infant, and now he's almost eight years old, period. We love her and are very thankful to have had her all these years.

    Dr Dahlinghaus is fabulous. Thorough, thoughtful, and intentional about including my daughter in the appt. She took the time to secure results that were sent by and outside lab and to review these with me all during the appt versus brushing it off and saying she’d fully up later. This made us feel valued and really demonstrated her care for my daughter. We have so much confidence in Dr Dahlinghaus and feel confident our daughter is in great hands!

    The provider listened to all our concerns and listened to us very thoroughly about our situation. She took her time with my son and was very personable, had great bedside manner, and we appreciated all of that. And the nurse was also very personable, very friendly, and we felt that we were in good hands at the office.
