Patient Experience Review | “Dr. Templeton is wonderful—she took excellent care of our one-year-old son. She is patient with nervous parents; she took time to explain the procedure, answer all of our questions, and make sure we felt informed and educated about what surgery and recovery would entail. We can’t recommend her highly enough!” –Elizabeth S.
