General Info
About me
I am aware of the responsibility I have every time a parent allows me to look after the health of others.
When I have to operate on my son, I want the person who cares for him to be responsible, have experience, and have solid training; In addition to that, he likes working with children. If I think like a dad, this is how I would like my son's surgeon to be.
The importance of your child from birth to adolescence
