quote
“I love working with children and their parents, and this is why I chose pediatrics. Watching kids grow and being such an honored part of their lives makes me happy. Working with the parents and teaching them various developmental milestones, encouraging families in their child-rearing journey, and offering reassurances are other favorite parts of my job.”
