Nearly thirty years have passed since I first started practicing Pediatrics. Much has changed in my profession… some things for the better and other things not so much. It seems the right time to muse those and then tally my personal conclusion in answer to the question ‘Was medicine in general, and Pediatrics specifically, the right choice for me?”

The Beginning

It was Monday, February 20th, 1978.  I was extremely anxious. Continue reading →

My wife is addicted to Sporcle! This is really a great site for those who love brain teasers. She showed me this game on their site and I was bowed over. I actually only have seen about half of the things they listed. Foam was not on the list, but is something I’ve seen a couple of times. You can play the game here in fact if you read on.

It is with great pleasure today that I share with you my appointment to the faculty of the Mercer University School of Medicine as a Clinical Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics. My appointment is for November 17th, 2011 to November 17th, 2012. Continue reading →

I love all things ‘children’ as you can imagine. And the older I get the more I like it! Having been a great fan of C. S. Lewis after first reading The Chronicles of Narnia series some thirty years ago, I was awed when I found that Focus on the Family had created a high quality, dramatized audio production.

This production is true to Lewis’ creation and is a wonderful read for children even as young as 8 or thereabouts. I listen to it over and over as I drive to and from work as it is one of my all time favorites. Continue reading →

We are pleased to announce our new Nursing Nook. After some consideration we felt that the teen waiting room was not well used, so that we converted it to a private area for nursing mothers. It is currently under construction and renovation to the exacting standards of all of our staff.

The intention is to provide nursing mothers a very comfortable, private place to nurture their breastfeeding babies. When its done we’ll have an online tour here!

It seems few weeks go by when I encounter a parent that needs more practical parenting advice than I have time to give.

Linda Fabre, author of Full Potential, is now offering free of charge, appointments to discuss parenting problems that she discusses in her book. She hosts the ‘Build Your Child’ seminars as well. Individual time is often helpful, but costly or unobtainable, for professional counselors.

Guided by her years of experience with her children and grandchildren, she draws from her years of lay teaching on many subjects. I reviewed her book Full Potential prior to publication and it is a remarkable parenting resource.

To schedule an appointment with Linda, please call our office and ask to speak with her directly.
