          The nurse was very kind and accommodating to my child. He’s never used a blood pressure cuff and she walked him through it with ease! The doctor was very kind, easy to understand, & listened to me thoroughly with my concerns. 10/10!

          Theresa Blachly-Flanagan is one of the first providers to not make me feel crazy about what has been going on with my son for years and she not only explained things but she listened to everything and left me feeling heard and seen and it was also an environment where my son felt safe and like he could be himself.

          Dr. Blachly was warm and inviting. My daughter opened right up to her. She listened to her and I talk and provided kind, honest feedback. I'm happy to have found someone that Lily feels comfortable with that will also speak honestly with me.

          Dr. Flanagan was amazing with my daughter and myself. She took the time to listen. Not one time did we feel rushed. She was extremely patient. She was inquisitive about her as a person. We felt very comfortable being in her office and look forward to going back and being able to make some headway and get answers to help her be the best person that she can be. We really appreciate Dr. Flanagan.

          Ms. Blachly was very attentive to my son and he was able to talk to her freely and then we had good conversation back and forth and she took everything I had to say and he had to say and really just truly listened and came up with a good plan for him and I appreciate it.
