“I would highly recommend Dr. Courtney Plotts. She tested our 5th grade son for gifted. She was extremely flexible as far as time and place for the testing, which was very convenient. As some institutions can take a month or more to even schedule an appointment, Dr. Plotts was quick to respond and schedule. She administered the testing in a very professional manner. Most impressively, Dr. Plotts genuinely took time to explain everything. She took her time and was not rushed in explaining the testing procedure and the results of the test. Because she was so thorough, we didn’t have to many questions, but the ones we had she answered and also added insight into the results. This was a perfect experience for my son. He felt comfortable and I really believe that had a positive impact on the testing process..”
