    Dr Candee is great to work with. She is always positive and easygoing. She clearly explains things to us in a manner that's easy to comprehend. She always makes sure we are included in the decision making process. We are truly lucky to have her as our son's Doctor.

    Dr. Candee was profession but relatable. She put our daughter at ease and clearly explained medical terms and we could tell she cared about helping us.
