How likely are you to recommend Dr. Lerma?
I have been a patient of Dr. Lerma's for over 8 years since I was 16.

She has a wealth of knowledge in the child medication subject area, and she listened to my evolving needs and psychological challenges, offering both therapeutic guidance as well as actionable steps in terms of my medication
