Dr Depalma shows great empathy and care to our newborn daughter. Dr. Even called late evening via phone call to check in on our progress with our daughter and to answer any questions we may have. We appreciate her concern and personal time to check in on us!

She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Listened carefully, executed an immediate plan, called the same day with results (even being on a Saturday). I highly recommend her for optimal care of your child.
