Get to Know Me
I moved from India to Brooklyn, NY when I was eight years old. I always knew I wanted to be a doctor, my parents were in the medical field and I enjoyed science and math. Today, as a mom and a pediatrician, I find that tending to the health of children is more of a calling than job. And it鈥檚 a privilege. Children are vulnerable, and they need us.Why I Treat Children
Being around children keeps me optimistic. I love how they鈥檙e so in the moment, and they don鈥檛 let illness (even chronic illness) define them. They鈥檙e kids first and just want to do kid stuff: go to school, play, and be with their friends. Those are their goals, even if they have a serious disease.What I'm Passionate About
Being a physician is an honor and a privilege. When you put aside all the high technology tools we have, being a doctor comes down to you, the patient and family, and your eyes and ears. You can get so much information just from interacting with people. That鈥檚 something I always tell my medical students.How I Try to Make A Difference
Everyone deserves respect, and my interactions with people reflect that. When I鈥檓 treating a child, I give my undivided attention. At that moment the child is the single most important thing in my world. When a child is sick, it鈥檚 all-consuming for the whole family. It鈥檚 everyone鈥檚 issue. That鈥檚 where I come from when I interact with kids and their families.Education & Training
