Q&A with Dr. Acosta
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Toy Story
What is your favorite children's book?
The Monster at the End of This Book because my 2 sons loved hearing the story at bedtime!
What was your favorite childhood toy?
I used to like bike riding ever since learning to ride a tricycle.
Who is your greatest inspiration?
My mom because she encouraged me to always be kind to others, try my best at school and have a positive attitude.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
I like to read, travel and spend time with my family.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I grew up taking care of my 2 younger brothers and I loved seeing their development stages and how they grew. I actually kept track of their milestones!
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I understand that being a parent is at times a big challenge but so rewarding. I sometimes talk about the personal stories of my 2 boys with the families. I share with them because I am also a parent and have the same concerns and surprises that we all have in being a parent.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
I will look for the better way to have the child and the family feel comfortable when I examine the child.
