Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I opened my new practice, Children’s Endocrinology and diabetes center with two staff in February 2020. After only one month of opening, we then faced the Covid- 19 pandemic. We still managed to keep the practice open and continued to take care of patients with support from friends and neighborhood friends taking care of his kids while my wife and I were working full time. At one point I had to survive without paychecks for months just with savings but, survived among all of the challenges.
We’ve been impressed with Children’s Endocrinology and Diabetes Center, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
As a lead physician I take great pride in the quality care provided by my outstanding team. We also offer services such as diabetes management, gender affirming therapy, wellness program and comprehensive endocrine care. We host a yearly Human Growth Foundation education program each year since 2019. I have assisted in bringing national speakers for continuous medical education at the GME program. As a true advocate, I enjoy spending time empowering children and families for their health and wellbeing inside and outside the practice. In addition, my passion is driven by the bond and positive vibe we create amongst our patients and their families over the course of their lives and the sense of fulfillment keeping them healthy and happy.
So, before we go, how can our readers or others connect or collaborate with you? How can they support you?
We are happy to work together with any organization to address and promote a happy healthy lifestyle and well being. Others may help and show support by making donations to the Human Growth Foundation or Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
