Seeing the gratification on the faces of kids and their families after their visit with me and Urgent Care for Children.
How does being a parent help in the way you provide care and work with your patients and their families?
I am the parent of two and that adds a very hands on experience on dealing with kids and their challenges which helps in understanding struggles families can face.

I like to listen to the parents’ concerns and read their body language and also observe the child and then tailor my questions, exam and treatment plan per that.

Eat healthy, keep moving and serving the community I am in.
