Dr. Valsamis is an amazing physician. She quickly built a friendly rapport with my son (age 10), spoke him in a way that made him engage, answer her questions, follow her instructions, and simultaneously answered all my questions and alleviated my concerns. She is knowledgable, patient, kind and thoughtful in her medical approach. I did not feel rushed or bothersome as I asked my list of questions. My son said "she was the coolest doctor" after the appointment! I will absolutely see her again!
