We are very grateful for Dr. Sabati and Phoenix Children's Hospital.
There is not much more to leave input. Just wanted to say me and my son both truly appreciate Dr. Sabati and the time and care he takes in talking to us, answering questions, just being really informed and sharing that with us. I think it's great. His ability to interact with my son and really connect with him, I think is amazing. There are no concerns and nothing else that I feel needs to be shared other than that.
