I love pediatrics because I get the opportunity to work with such a wide array of patients, birth to 21 years old. From cute baby cooing to deep adult conversations, it is fun to watch my patients grow! Starting with patients at such a young age gives me a chance to help them develop healthy habits for a lifetime.
