Why I Treat Children
Kids are fun to be around and are generally motivated to get better so they can get back to what matters most in their lives — play. They are generally straightforward compared to adults and heal quickly.
What I'm Passionate About
I am passionate about helping kids and parents feel at ease. I strive to listen and communicate well so I can figure out what is really concerning the patient and family the most so I can address those concerns directly.
How I Try to Make A Difference
I try to stay on time, make sure I’m well prepared and address all concerns.
