Dr. Breland is such a breath of fresh air. He is knowledgeable, kind and listens! He gave my son his undivided attention and yet made me feel like I was always in charge. We spent a wonderful year with him while my teenage son lost weight and made some great new habits! Couldn't be more thankful to be have been put in his path!!
