Excellent Tool for Kids and Parents

This app is just what the doctor ordered for alleviating perioperative anxiety for young children having surgery. Screen time with a little surgery and anesthesia buddy like “Little Hottie” keeps kids minds off of the unknown and helps them engage with their environment, leading to less anxiety and worry. Highly recommend!
