Dr. Cornish has been a wonderful blessing to our family. For 13 years he helped us learn to care for our children in a variety of ways. When I was a new mom, I had so many questions and concerns. Dr. Cornish always took the time to answer each question with kindness and thoroughness, making sure to break things down to a basic level, so I could understand the knowledge he shared. He also made sure I was aware of the development of my children at each phase they went through. At every yearly check-up he took the time to discuss the developmental milestones, the challenges we might face, and ways to use the milestones as an opportunity to teach values. I appreciated that he was concerned with the mental well-being of our children as well as their physical health. 
When I became the mother of twins, Dr. Cornish helped me think of ways to care for the both of them without feeling overwhelmed. There were times I was so unsure of my skills, but he would loving reassure me that I was doing it right.
Dr. Cornish also tries to encourage parents to come up with the best solutions when a child is sick. Every time he gave me options on the possible treatments or steps to take to treat my sick child. He encourages his patients to be part of the solution, so we can make the choices that will be best for our families. 
All of my kids looked forward to their visits to the doctor's office, both when they were well, just receiving a check-up, and when they were sick. He made the kids feel like they were his favorite and most important patients in his practice. Our whole family thinks the world of Dr. Cornish and he will be sadly missed by us.
