"The staff at Dr. Swan's office is amazing, especially Dr. Swan herself. At our last appointment my daughter had, she mentioned upon leaving, that she wished she could go home with Dr. Swan. She has an amazing personality. Her and my daughter created a cute little dance together, and Dr. Swan practiced it with her a couple times. It was so cute. Miss Madi is still trying to think of a good name for the 'fun room'!"
