Report
I think everyone's experience is different so I'm just going to post my own personal experience with Dr tiznado. He didn't spend hardly any time examining my daughter it was basically in and out and only ordered one blood test the whole year we were seeing him. He didn't believe any of the past accounts I confided to him about my daughters condition. After one or maybe two years he declared my daughter cured without any further tests.
She had a very bad seizure at school five months later. While my personal experience was not good I hope that it's not the case with others. I felt I had to write this review because it's been in my mind all these years. We since had been seeing an amazing doctor at children's.

Doc made me wait 45 minutes in the lobby, then had his office Assitant Karina tell me that he wouldn't be able to see me. Not a good sign of organization here
