Really appreciate how Dr. Carson puts my son at the center of the conversation and makes it a point to talk to him about the treatment of his migraines. As a parent I always feel like part of the team, but my son is first. At other doctor's offices my son was frequently only spoken to if I brought him into the conversation. Dr. Carson also takes the time to explain the treatment options that are available when adjustments are needed. Both the pros and cons he is considering before making a change or recommendation.
