This was the first time we have seen Dr. Stipleman and I instantly loved her. She showed so much concern and care for my son and she explained his care to me better than any other doctor has. She explained things to me that I didn't even know I needed to know about a six year old. I ended up changing my sons provider to Dr. Stipleman that day because she was so incredible. This is not to say that I didn't like my son's previous doctor, I just really liked Dr. Stipleman and how she treated us.
