Typically, doctors spend less time with patients because of their schedules, but that comes at a cost to the patient. That does not apply here with Dr. Sousa. Dr. Sousa spends the time. He makes his patients feel like people first and diagnosis’ second. Dr. Sousa helps his patients and their families feel seen, heard and understood. If you want a quick visit, he’s not the doctor for you. If you want a doctor who is going to listen, take his time and offer valuable recommendations, book the appointment, you won’t be disappointed.

Dr. Soussa was the best Dr i have ever dealt with with. Everything from his bedside manner to his analysis of the symptoms were ultra professional all while having a smile and making my 16 yr old daughter and I feel comfortable . He was very in depth ion his physical examination and he asked my daughter the right questions. You dont find doctors like this everyday . 10/10

The best?????????? my kids loved !
March 25, 2025Wanda D.Verified patient
Dr. Sousa is an outstanding pediatric neurologist who truly goes above and beyond for his patients. From the moment we walked in, he made my child feel comfortable and at ease. He took the time to not only listen to all of our concerns but also got to know my child on a personal level, engaging with them in a way that made the whole experience feel less intimidating. His bedside manner is excellent—warm, kind, and patient. It's clear he genuinely cares about his young patients. I’m confident in recommending Dr. Sousa to any family looking for a compassionate and thorough pediatric neurologist. A true gem in the field!
