My favorite animated cartoon series of all time would have to be "The Simpsons."

My favorite children's book would have to be "The Little Engine that Could." I am a firm believer in persistence, perseverance, and never giving up.

My favorite childhood toy collection was by far, my SupePowers SuperHero action figure set, with Superman being my favorite one.

By far, my greatest inspiration is my father. He showed me how to work hard for what you want, and how to always give selflessly to your family.

My hobbies outside of work are enjoying quality time with my family, working out, playing table tennis, and barbecuing.

As I grew older, the "child" in me never seemed to disappear. When I rotated through all of the various disciplines in medical school, I simply fell in love with pediatrics. "I do what I love, and I love what I do."

I think my unique ability to connect with patients and their parents has to be my ability to relate to young children with my "young child mentality." When I first enter an exam room and see a patient, and am quickly able to name the superhero that is on their shirt, the cartoon character that is on their backpack, or action toy that they brought into the office, they immediately become very impressed and display a super big smile.

Our office provides accommodations for children with special needs.
