"The best part of my day is seeing the "light bulb" moment when a girl starts to really understand her health and grasp why she has been experiencing the symptoms she has been having. Seeing her make educated choices about caring for her health is its own reward. I believe that for girls and their families to make educated decisions and optimally manage their health, they need to understand why an illness is occurring as well as the benefits and risks of available treatment options. I believe that the best doctor-patient relationship focuses on the values of good communication, respect and honesty."
