Commitment to patient-centered care

"I feel so lucky that I get to spend my days taking care of kids for my job. I will always emphasize the patient and family, and partnering to achieve our goals. I want all my patients to feel comfortable, and like I have explained my thought process in a way that makes sense. Young people bring joy to my life, and it's a privilege to get to work with them!"
