Comments by Our Patients
"The path to recovery is filled with twists and turns. Be honest and open toward identifying and resolving conflicts in the home that are contributing toward anxiety and pain in your child. Early-on in the road to recovery two very thoughtful physicians gave us some sage advice, 'Watch her Feet, Not her Lips.' We thank you LZ and PZ."
Patty and Jan
"This book is just as supportive as it is instructive, equipping parents with information from friendly, encouraging voices ……insider knowledge and techniques to the confusing world of medicine…stresses the importance of slowing down and taking a breath.
"I really like the way the book is laid out. Clear and easy to follow. The empathy and understanding that y'all offer felt really good to me as a parent with a kid who deals with pain. To know that someone else understands what I'm going through is extremely valuable."
