Dr. Nicandri is the very best! She was very respectful of [...]. She is autistic and largely non-verbal, but Dr. N explained everything to both of us. She explained everything thoroughly, understood my concerns, answered my multiple questions and was very reassuring. We left with a solid plan for treatment that covers at home and in school. I would highly recommend Dr. Nicandri. She is honest and straightforward and she is fully committed to not only providing the best care for her patients, but truly doing what she can in their best interest.
