Caring for a child or adolescent with an eating disorder can feel overwhelming. While every experience is different, many families share common themes of uncertainty, hope, and the need for steady guidance.
These reflections are shared with permission and represent the experiences of patients and families who have worked with Dr. Conrad.
Out of respect for privacy, some details may be modified.
Dr. Conrad goes above and beyond for her patients and families. We will be eternally grateful for her profound knowledge, care, compassion and support. She always took the time to listen and understand. Dr. Conrad also provided endless reassurance and support. She is truly one of a kind. An angel on this earth who saved our daughter's life and helped our family find our way again - we will never forget it.
It all happened so fast and we didn't know what to do, but Dr. Conrad did. She was calming and caring, and her expertise has helped us survive something we weren't sure we could or would. She's believed in our girl, and in us, and her support has made all the difference.
In a time when too much information and reality was hitting hard, Dr. Conrad came in and support not only our daughter, but our whole family of five. She cared well and went above and beyond, we will never forget it, nor her.
If you are considering care for your child or adolescent, or if you are a provider seeking a medical partner, we are here to help guide next steps with clarity and care.
