I am not even sure how to put into words what an incredible, throrough, compassionate, understanding, knowledgable, all around wonderful doctor and person Dr. Myers is. We had very high expectations to begin with, but she exceeded them beyond measure. We moved to Seattle to get more resources for our son with ASD and I first came across Dr. Myers profile a couple months ago and immediately knew she was what our son needed. I called but was told she was almost a year out for new patients and was added to the wait list. We were over the moon when we got an opening. She was wonderful about listening to our concerns, asking questions that made it clear she genuinely cares about our son and our ability to get him resources to ease his frustrations and better his life, she was incredibly easy to follow in her explanations of various things, she really let us take our time and we never in any way felt rushed, she really seemed to understand our family and give us great advice and direction. I could go on and on but we just have never been treated so great by any doctor.. EVER. I was in tears when we got to the car and felt like a weight had been lifted and we have found a gold mine of knowledge and are going to finally be able to get the help we've been searching for the last almost 2 years. Both my husband and I will absolutely be recommending Dr. Myers and Seattle Children's to anyone looking for those services. A huge thank you to Dr. Myers and her whole team for making a huge impact on our family, we are so excited for our next appointment.
