To choose a career in medicine is choosing a field of service, and being a pediatrician brings me joy. I enjoy interacting with children and their families, whether for a sick visit or a regular check-up. I encourage involving families in patient care, and give each child the attention and care that I would give my own. Helping patients and families through an ailment and making sure they receive the guidance to stay healthy is a rewarding experience.
