Pediatric surgery is a gratifying field. We often can fix problems that are causing a child pain or other severe symptoms. At other times, we can provide procedures that may improve a patient’s quality of life, even if we can’t cure the disease.
My goal is to find the best solution, whether that is surgical or not. I collaborate with the patient and the family to find the best path for them. I make sure to take the time to sit with families to explain the disease, the different options for treatment, and what those can look like for their child.
