What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
Love being with children. Worked with children as a counsellor when younger. Once I went to medical school, it was obvious that I enjoyed Pediatric Medicine the most.
I just have a special connection with children.
I derive tremendous sense of purpose in guiding parents in raising their children and keeping them healthy.
Having worked now for 38 years, I have many 2nd generation patients which is very rewarding.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I am passionate about the importance of a healthy diet and exercise in prevention of obesity and chronic diseases and try to inspire families to make positive changes. I spend a lot of time on this topic at all well visits.
Over the years, I have become more holistic in my approach and accept that there are different ways to solve most issues. I have much experience with ADHD and Asthma and believe I can manage those conditions very well.
