Patient Reviews
Oct 24, 2018
The patience care concern shown to my son is awesome after years of neglect by our local neurologists and the determination of Dr Houston to find answers to help our son is so much of a relief to our family. So far we are so pleased to be part of UAB family and our hope for a better future has grown immensely for him.
