Absolutely amazing and thorough.
Before arriving to my intake appointment both the receptionist and the doctor quelled my concerns about my insurance coverage. Everyone here is patient, personal, and professional. The office is very clean and I was seen on time.
Making the appointment for my son was the best choice I could have made. I now have answers and guidence to get my son all the help he needs. Dr Kugel went over the entire evaluation and I now have a clearer understanding and know what my son needs. Aside from her I am so grateful for Susan in the office that went above and beyond!! I am very happy with everything they have provided us with.and strongly recommend them.
Dr. Kugel was so kind and easy going. She was able to assist me with all my needs and provide the proper supports. Highly recommend
Dr. Kugel is very thorough and was spot on when evaluating my son. I walked out confident that my son would get the help he needs.
She was very professional
Dr. Kugel was excellent and very accommodating.
Dr. Kugel helped my son so much by getting his school to understand the help he needed. The school fought with us for years before her report proved his needs. Dr. Barkey has helped him get through the hard times after. He helped me too.
