• Medicine is not the kind of job that you can just go to school, learn what you know, and then do that the rest of your life. You have to continue to learn because medicine is always changing.

  I think that most parents know what to do and are doing the right things. They just need a little support, and they just need some reassurance. So as a pediatrician I just try and support my families, mainly, through their decisions. I try to help them feel comfortable in the choices that they’re making and in the guidance that they give their kids. And I just enjoy sharing that experience with them.

  My best days are definitely days when I see healthy happy children and families growing together.
