What inspired you to work in pediatrics?

My mother is a pediatrician, she was my primary inspiration, and eventually became my partner in pediatrics for 25 years in practice!

During medical school I felt most comfortable with my pediatric rotations - the attending pediatricians were all very smart professors, loved to teach, and yet still down to earth... "real" people!

What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?

(may have to circle back to this later, not enough time b/w pts today....)

I try to treat everyone with nonjudgmental respect and grace, provide evidence based medical advice, and do so with a joyful heart everyday!
