Q&A with Dr. Stephen
What is your favorite children's book and why?
I Am Enough by Grace Byers - It embraces individuality and self-love.
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My parents, who have supported and encouraged every dream and endeavor I've ever come up with.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Traveling
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
My childhood pediatrician actually discouraged me when I stated I wanted to become a pediatrician. He rattled off a list of reasons why I should not go into medicine. In an act of rebellion, I chose to do it anyhow, and vowed that I would never discourage my patients from achieving their future dreams.
