Recommendations

CeciliaMilwaukee, Wi05.21.12
Dr. Lefond was absolutely delightful to work with at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. She is wonderful with children and she worked hard with our family to get answers regarding my son Levi having a stroke being only 10 years old. He was totally health and it turned our lives upside for a short while. Dr. Lefond has an incredible background in pediatric strokes. She did a very good job in making sure not only did we as Levi's parents understand his condition but that he also understood what was going on wig his body. We will dearly miss working with Dr. Lefond and her team. Wishing you all the best in life and your career <3 Sincerely, Cecilia and Family
