nne,

I live in Pembroke Pines (Broward County) between Ft. Lauderdale & Miami. My

son sees

Dr. Freedman in Pembroke Pines now, and I like him although his opinions

differ

from Dr. H's sometimes. He has 1 other patient with Silver Syndrome &

has

spoken with Dr. Harbison about my son. In fact, he sent his other patient to

see Dr.

Harbison too. Where do you live? Prior to seeing Dr. Freedman, we saw Dr. Beth

Motzkin

in Margate for many years, but I would not recommend her as I had a huge problem

with

her office (hence the reason I switched doctors).
