General Info

What motivates me about being a pediatrician is the relationships I build with my patients and their families. When I look at my schedule each day, the first thing I look at is the name of the patient, not necessarily the complaint. I like to see which of my buddies are coming in to see me. I want my patients to know that when you come to see me, you will be heard and listened to. For me, practicing medicine is a team effort and joint decision-making process between myself and the parents. At the end of the visit, I want the family to clearly understand the plan and the backup plan if needed. Practicing medicine is not always a straight line, but I want my patients to know I will be there for them every step of the way.
