  • We've had an extremely great experience with Dr. Thibert. We left [redacted] and came over to MGH and we couldn't be happier. Every experience honestly we've had you guys compared to [redacted] has just been world different. Dr. Thibert is amazing. He makes us feel safe and heard and he always knows exactly like what's going on with our son. He never asks us like why we're here or anything like that. He always is up to date with everything and his nurse is fantastic. She gets back to us right away and also always knows like what's going on with our son. So we've been extremely happy with the neurology department you guys have.

  • Dr. Thibert is one of the most compassionate doctors that my son sees. Because my son is nonverbal, it's important to me to have a provider that still makes my son feel like the most important person in the room and directs communication to him, but works with me as a partner. And I really appreciate the way he checks in with [redacted] throughout the visit and is engaging with him. He's also extremely thorough about every detail in [redacted]'s life and how it impacts him and his seizure disorder. So can't say anything more than how wonderful and truly expert this doctor is.
