We feel so privileged and are so grateful to be patients of Dr. Helio Pedro. We love the staff in your pediatric genetics. We love everyone that we've come in contact with. We are always treated with so much respect. And my daughter who has some special needs and microdeletion, she is always made to feel so good. She didn't take blood work this past time and she hates blood work as most kids do. And we had someone come down with us and stay with us the entire time. It was just absolutely amazing. You guys go above and beyond and we appreciate it.
