I am mind blown at how incredibly easy CDI has made this experience for me. Having the caring staff is a big thing, I know I am not just a number to anyone there. When I need to go in the office everyone was so friendly and called me by name and always had a smile on their faces. Keep up the great work everyone.

I cannot say enough great things about Malinda and the team at Consumer Directions. Communication is always clear and fast. I really feel supported and appreciate all of the assistance and responses to questions as we navigate the muddy waters of my son's CADI waiver.

I have been nothing short of blessed to have Mackenzie as my primary contact. She is hands down the best FMS I've ever worked with, and the other folks on my son's team who come in contact with her regularly remark to me on what a stellar job she does. Couldn't ask for more and so fortunate to have her in my corner. She's always amazing!
