I believe knowledge empowers us, especially related to one’s personal experience of illness. When meeting a family for the first time, I take the time to try to understand their concerns and address them as best I can during the visit. I want parents and patients to ask questions and we will take the time to find the answer and make sure you understand. Not every symptom can be linked to an infection; not every infection has an easy cure; but I am confident that most symptoms and infections can be managed as long as we are willing to listen to one another and work toward the common goal of improving your or your child’s health.
