Dr. Folsom always seems happy to see me and takes very good care of me. She takes my questions and my mom's questions seriously. I am not nervous to see her like I am with other appointments because she is so nice.

Dr. Folsom was absolutely amazing! She was very detailed in her explanations, even discussing everything in ways that my child could understand and was interested. She made my child feel seen and heard from the moment she stepped in the room. Phenomenal physician.
