Our approach to your child’s health care includes:
It is important to remember that the nature of asthma and other chronic lung problems are such that significant and serious lung abnormalities may exist at a time when the patient may have no or only few symptoms and may even have a normal examination. Periodic re-examinations even when the patient is not having problems are essential for ensuring continued good health and well-being.
Every effort is made to explain the patient’s condition and treatment plan to you. DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK QUESTIONS IF SOMETHING IS NOT CLEAR TO YOU.
