Dr Breiger was so very informative and helpful in assessing my twins, I finally felt like I understood what was truly going on with them, so many questions after all these years and finally we got diagnosis and understanding

Dr. Breiger was very informative in discussing the results of my foster child's diagnosis. He did not rush the call and answered all my questions at that time. He seemed to cover every angle for diagnosis of FASD/Intellectually Disabled. He further stated that he would be in touch with the school himself to advise them on what my child's educational structure should look like.
