Dr. Barry and his staff are incredibly kind, gentle and patient when it comes to treating my child. My child is autistic with additional special needs. They are very happy soft spoken, patient and understanding that he needs some extra time, They have no trouble with his busyness, wanting to get up and down his noises that he makes with his stemming and hand flapping They continue to work professionally quickly and always ask [NAME] if he’s OK having a good day they tell him what a good job he did. This office staff is absolutely incredible when it comes to taking care of my son and meeting his needs. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.. It’s one of the few doctors offices that I don’t dread going to because they are so patient and understanding
