I care for the child and family as I would care for my own by doing the least invasive thing to achieve the most benefit.
Why did you choose to specialize in pediatric surgery?
Pediatric surgery is so gratifying because we get to intervene on a sick baby or child at such a critical time of need; nothing is scarier as a parent than having a baby or child ill or in an accident.
