“Hi! I am a doctor who believes that good care takes time – that it takes time for patients to trust their doctors and for doctors to get to know their patients, and that it is better not to rush. As a pediatrician, I believe that happenings at home, school, etc, including stresses in these places can affect kids’ health as well. As such, I try to take into account what I see in all aspects of children’s health. I also believe very strongly in the effectiveness and necessity of vaccines.”
