Q&A with Dr. Urena
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Cinderella has always been a favorite and Glinda from the Wizard of Oz that could help me get back home to Kansas where I grew up.
What is your favorite children's book and why?
Good night moon as a way to close the day in a relaxing and comforting manner. The book brings back happy childhood memories that now I share with my son.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
A Fisher Price doctor's kit is where my career emanates from.
Who is your greatest inspiration and why?
My parents for teaching me integrity and grace. My mentors for guiding through challenges and inspiring me to always do my best.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Running and spinning for exercise. Volunteering and traveling.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
The morning I walked into the children's hospital and saw a toddler walking holding on to his mother's pinky finger and I smiled to myself knowing this was worth getting up for every day.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I am a compassionate pediatrician who treats each patient with kindness and respect. I go the extra mile to help my patients feel comfortable and cared for at each visit.
