I became a pediatrician because I love science and I love working with kids. Children are always fun to be around, and when they see that you care about them, they reflect that back.

There are so many opportunities to make a difference in the life of a child that can have very big impacts on their futures and who they will become. I remember caring for a teenager who had depression, and now when I see him happier, it fills me with deep joy.

I love my job, and I don’t mind working on weekends. That’s because this is my passion. Anything you do in life with passion, you never tire of. It bothers me when I hear people say, “Thank God it’s Friday,” because I don’t feel that way. I’m so lucky to love my job as much as I do. I hope my patients and their families feel the love and passion I have for my job.
