“The way Derek presented the information was great. He really broke things down and told my son exactly what was happening with his body and why it is happening and then what he can do to help it out. Out of all the doctor appointments we have been to in the past 5 years, no one has ever taken the time to explain what was going on and in return my son was feeling hopeless in the way that he was just going to be overweight and not much he can do about it. With all the information Derek gave my son he really listened and took it all in and I think he now has hope.”
