ABOUT


GET TO KNOW ME

"As a comprehensive center, we like to meet together as a team and provide families with guidance as they navigate these different milestones. We can lay out both the short-term and long-term issues and how that fits into their child's quality of life so some of the stress that families experience can be minimized."

FROM OUR PATIENTS

"Dr. Rentea is so thoughtful and was wonderful with my son. She also was well prepared for our appointment. She had reviewed all the notes and knew exactly why we were there and our past conversations. That is very impressive because obviously she sees many patients. She was able to walk us through different plans and willing to work with us to find the best route for my son to be independent. This is very important to him. When the options seemed scary and he began to cry she was very sensitive to his emotions and re assured him that she will take very good care of him. I would recommend her with a 10+."
