Testimonial:
A psychiatrist who examined one Chinese crash victim wrote
to us that the interpreter from BetterComm "was extremely
helpful to the process, in that she was professional, appropriately
empathic and provided important linguistic and cultural information
as needed. She understood the parameters of a lengthy psycho-social
interview and subsequent testing, and was nothing short of
superb throughout the day."
