    Dr. Iverson is empathetic and listens. My daughter(8) has been counting down the days to her follow up appointment with him. She adores him. He is genuine and shows interest in what she has to say. He is the only doctor she has ever looked forward to seeing.

      I have two other kids who have been under Dr. Iverson's care which is why I wanted to wait to see him specifically. He is good at patient education without coming across as condescending or superior. I'm a reasonably intelligent adult and typically do research ahead of a doctor visit, so I appreciate being talked to in a manner that is respectful of that. I also appreciate that he explained things well enough that my son felt comfortable with the recommendation and also felt understood and cared about.

      Patient is a very knowledge driven child he was very nervous prior to his appointment, however Dr.Iverson included him in the conversation and provided not only us with answers, but answered patient's as well. When we left patient was far less nervous about having a procedure.
