What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I loved the fact that children are so resilient. They can be very sick one day, and few days later they can be jumping on the bed and back to normal.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I do all of the procedures in pediatrics, including circumcisions, tongue tie reductions, suturing, wart treatment, and umbilical cauterization. I am also fluent in English and Spanish.
