Nicholas went with me to the doctors office today and he was perfect! Waited patiently in the waiting area, under the table and out of the way. Settled nicely in the exam room, and even fell asleep while waiting. Nice and relaxed, it was a great outing! Thanks to the wonderful staff at UVA Orthopedics and Dr. Cooper’s office for being so wonderful with him visiting today!
