We had a great first experience with Dr. Ellen. She strikes the perfect balance between being organized and approachable. She addressed all our concerns as parents, but the highlight was how quickly she made our daughter feel comfortable. Navigating an autism evaluation can be stressful, but Dr. Ellen made the process feel manageable and supportive. We highly recommend her.

This is the second child we have gone through the assessment to feedback process with Dr. Alvarado and we could not have more positive things to say. She is thorough, explaining things in ways that both parent and child understand and feel supported. Her response time to questions has been so helpful, and she has been such an amazing doctor to work with. She has trait that cannot be taught, it’s just who she is, and she is a delightful, curious, empathetic, engaging and encouraging person.
