“I became a pediatrician because I was drawn to the incredible resiliency, openness, and innocence of children in the face of illness or even chronic diseases. A pediatrician is trained not only to diagnose and treat the illnesses of childhood but also to respect and recognize the vulnerabilities and strengths of children. A good pediatrician will work with families to improve their child’s health and behaviors in a way that will impact them into their adult lives. A good pediatrician can help parents enjoy their children more and worry about them less. This is the kind of physician that all children deserve and that I strive to be.
I have a lot of things that I feel strongly about as a pediatrician: fruit is good for kids, fruit juice is not. Breastmilk is best, but formula is not toxic! Immunizations save lives, and your child should get all the recommended ones on time. Not all infections need antibiotics. Routines are very important for all children, especially bedtimes. You should read or share books with your child every day. Most nosebleeds are caused by fingers in noses. Seat-belts save lives. Brush your teeth twice a day…
I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and care for your child at Redbud Pediatrics.”
