      Dr E was great. We did have to wait quite a while to be seen due to his previous appointment running over. He was kind, courteous and patient. I will most definitely take my child to see him again.

      Dr. E was very attentive and did not rush us. He took his time to understand the whole picture, seized opportunities to coach my son, and considered my input as a parent. He is always kind and accommodating. He ensured we have a good understanding of the plan and made me feel like we are partners working for the best for my child.

      Dr. Emeronye is fantastic! Listens to concerns and has great feedback. I only gave him a 10 because the system doesn't let me give him a 100. ?

      Dr E is really gifted. He connects with my son at a “real talk” level. No BS. Just truth. Very easy to understand, explains the “why’s”, really listens. I wish he had room for more patients in his clinic. I have a friend with a son on the spectrum who could really benefit from his help. Highly highly recommend

      Thank you for listening to me. This has been a long journey to find someone who will actually listen to my concerns and look at my child holistically and not make a hasty decision. I appreciate the diligence, explanation, and willingness to investigate his symptoms to find the proper diagnosis.

      We've always have good experiences at Dayton Children's Psychology. The nurse is very nice and caring, and even though we only see the doctor every few months, she remembers us. Dr. Kelechi E. is very caring and attentive. They have helped our grandson tremendously with his anxiety.

      Dr.E is absolutely awesome! He really takes the time to listen. He always helps come up with a solution to any problem, he helps my child realize that she needs to take accountability for her behaviors. And she actually talks to him!!! I would highly recommend!
