TESTIMONIALS

My daughter has been in Dr. Sharma's care for almost 10 years now. Her conditions are complex and we greatly appreciate Dr. Sharma's expertise, care, concern and patience. We have had experience with many doctors; her level of care is far superior. She is also well regarded and respected among her peers. She always takes the appropriate amount of time to address concerns during appointments. Her staff is always professional, courteous and serves her practice and patients well.

I have been going to Dr. Sharma since I was in the second grade I believe, maybe even earlier. I don’t know where I would be without her guidance through the years. ADI is a great organization, amazing doctors and assisting staff who are always willing to help.

TESTIMONIAL

Dr. Dana has worked wonders for my 9 year old daughter. My kiddo used to have anxiety and loved our visits to see her “feelings doctor” who used play to discuss her fears of the dark, separation anxiety, panic attacks, performance anxiety, and other issues that divorced/divorcing families deal with. Dr. Dana used frameworks, fidgets, clay, and other joyful activities to get my daughter to open up and learn how to overcome her fears. After two years of working with Dr. Dana, my kiddo is flourishing and has not only overcome all of these issues, but now helps others in her class overcome their fears and anxieties. She helped my daughter through one of the toughest periods in our lives and I am/we are forever grateful! Working with her was a gift.
