“Each baby is the most important one in the world.”

My Approach

A baby is the beginning of individual life. What better role for a physician to have than one dedicated to a healthy beginning? Each baby is the most important one in the world. Our neonatal intensive care unit and other nurseries are the center of my professional life.

I always wanted to be a healer and to help people in whatever circumstances they might encounter in life. I try to make sure parents understand everything that is happening to their child; there is nothing a doctor knows that a parent cannot understand. I believe that empathy and compassion are as important as knowledge and experience.

I am very proud to work here; if a baby needs a hospital, there is no better place for the baby to be than in our hospital.
