Dr. June Desimone was my son's first pediatrician. He had a rough start in life and was therefore red-flagged for many developmental reasons. Dr. Desimone not did not make me feel reassured, in fact I left almost every appointment crying. She had a tendency to use the worst case description of each issue my son had, never offering that while it could be a negative that it could also be normal for my child and conquerable. Though we went to regularly scheduled well baby visits from birth she never knew my son from visit to visit. \r
I hope my experience was singular. Perhaps she just didn't know what to make of a child that couldn't be explained "by the book" but I gladly left her practice when we moved and have since found a pediatrician who is awesome.
