The paediatric neurologist does not dispose the child to herself
The paediatric neurologist does not dispose the child to herself, immediately started talking to the child in her own language, and the child did not understand her, and she took it as if he did not react to her. And she made a diagnosis on this basis. Secondly, there aren't enough interpreters. They're torn between clients,

My son recovered very quickly
Yes, I am satisfied with the Bookimed company, but not with this pediatrician - she does not like children at all, she does not even want to show any help. Please don't send your children to her.
