About Me

care philosophy

My goal is to try to educate parents as to how to prevent problems . I try to explain the reasons for my recommendations, rather than just issuing prescriptions. When I was a child, I greatly admired my family doctor; I still remember his voice, and how reassured it made me feel when I was sick,and I strive to be like him.
