    Dr Accousti is very attentive. He listened to my daughter's concerns and gave her recommendations that she will be able to incorporate into her daily college life.

    This is the first time ever since we've been coming to Children Hospital that are providing did not really listen. He was more like talking over what I was saying and telling me that it was not so so I really didn't appreciate that other than that. Everything was fine wonderful the nurse was good to people who let you in the receptionist all of that was good as usual thank you so much. It was a visit and I enjoy my visit just one little issue but all is well thanks again.

    Dr. Accousti is just wonderful, kind & reassuring. This is the 2nd time we've seen him; my younger son saw him in 2022 for a different issue, so when my older son needed an ortho consult, I immediately asked for a referral to see Dr. Accousti. I recommend Dr. Accousti as a pediatric orthopedist! My older son (the current patient) is cleared to return to sports, which he is very happy about.

    I did not feel he fully listened to my concerns. He only addressed part of my issue and offered almost a "bandaid" to my solution instead of addressing the full issue.

    My heartfelt thanks go to the medical team that oversaw my daughter's treatment. I also extend my deepest gratitude to all the staff at the clinic-both doctors and administrators-for the exceptional care they provide to the children. May God bless them all.
