As a parent, I don’t have words big enough to fully express my gratitude for Annette and the entire Mountain Laurel team — but I’ll try.
My son is 9 years old and has been facing something that would bring most grown men to their knees. Watching an otherwise healthy, vibrant child suddenly struggle with vestibular and migraine issues has been terrifying and heartbreaking. There have been many doctors involved along the way — ENT, neurology, ER physicians, eye specialists — and while each played an important role, I honestly don’t know how I would have maintained my sanity without Annette and her team.
From the very beginning, the care at Mountain Laurel has gone far beyond treatment. Annette brought calm when everything felt overwhelming, clarity when nothing made sense, and reassurance when fear was constant. The compassion, patience, and genuine concern shown to both my son and our family made all the difference during one of the hardest seasons of our lives.
My son has shown incredible perseverance, and I strongly credit the guidance, support, and therapy he’s received here for helping him keep moving forward. We still have a journey ahead of us, but we have already come so far — and Mountain Laurel has been a huge part of that progress. I will forever be thankful for the care, understanding, and humanity shown by this team. They didn’t just help treat my child — they supported an entire family when we needed it most.
