I have been a community pediatrician for over 20 years at the same practice suburban Chicago. I try very hard to be responsive to my patients, answering every question by the end of the day. My general philosophy is that the body generally knows best what to do, and the physician’s role is to recognize when it is not working properly and stay out of the way when it is.
