What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I have loved children since I was young, drawn to their innocence and curiosity. As a pediatrician, I have a positive impact on their lives and their families. It is rewarding not only to heal their illnesses but to participate in their growth to becoming strong, independent young adults.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I strongly believe that my role is to partner with parents in the care of their children. I love to educate my families to ensure that they are a part of the decision-making process. This helps to build a healthy and trusting relationship.
