We blinked and suddenly little Iyla wasn't so little anymore. 🥹
We love the side-by-side comparison of Iyla today and at her first appointment with our clinical team. Iyla's family found Shriners Children's from a friend's recommendation.
"From our very first visit, everything felt like we were in the right place," Emily, Iyla's mom, said. Under the direction of plastic surgeon Dr. Scott Rapp, Iyla has a detailed care plan that involves nurses, nutritionists, therapy and nurse care managers.
Emily says it's peace of mind you can find only at Shriners Children's.
"We have felt genuine, compassionate care from doctors and nurses to support staff who treated us like family from day one, " Emily said. "As a parent, nothing prepares you for medical decisions, multiple surgeries, and ongoing appointments. There will always be stress, but having a team that truly cares makes all the difference. Shriners Children's walks beside you every step of the way."
