    He stated that he was on call during our appointment and that was why it took him so long to see us. Its frustrating that he would be on call while also having scheduled appointments. My daughter deserved better care.

    Dr. Bollo is awesome, he is understanding. I loved that he asked our son questions even though he is non-verbal.

    my husband tried to reword things and ask Dr. Bollo if that’s what he was saying, & several times he said no, and then repeated the same thing my husband said. He just seemed proud.
