“Our child recently underwent an ADOS assessment and diagnostic administered by Dr. Cubas and Dr. Travieso. The doctors were mutually effective in addressing our concerns as parents and ensuring that our child felt at ease in a welcoming an comfortable environment.

Our experience is reflective of the first-class care and pediatric excellence that Dr. Cubas is renowned for providing. We cannot imagine another person to entrust as our children’s health care provider and feel fortunate to have her in all our lives.”
