I recently embarked on a journey, driving 2.5 hours to take my 2-year-old son to see Mr. Kuo, who came highly recommended. Upon arriving, I was pleasantly surprised by how wonderful he was with my son, demonstrating patience and warmth that truly put us both at ease. Mr. Kuo's ability to engage with my son was astonishing, and his expertise in handling young children was evident from the very start. By the end of our visit, I felt reassured that I had made the right decision in seeing him. If the situation ever arises where we need his assistance again, I would not hesitate to make the long drive once more. Not only was he kind and patient, but his extensive knowledge in his field was truly impressive. It is a small price to pay for the peace of mind and incredible support provided by such a caring professional.
