Teresa instantly bonded with him, asking him questions about his favorite shows.
Our autistic son was very nervous about having his second knee operation - especially about getting any kind of shot. Teresa instantly bonded with him, asking him questions about his favorite shows and what he was watching on his phone. When it was time for his shot, she made sure the anesthesiologist team prepped in the hallway hidden from his view so he wouldn’t see that they were preparing the shot. She also made sure that we knew what to expect and where we could comfortably wait. Because of her care, we were more relaxed as well as our son. Thank you Teresa!
