I came from a background
where my mother
wanted me to be a physician.
I respected her and decided to
become allergist immunologist.
And now I love
more than anything
in the world about
my profession.
If you have asthma and you
control it in the beginning,
you can control it
way better than when
you decide to treat
asthma in the adult life.
I'm very proud of my team.
I'm very appreciative
of all my colleagues.
We want to provide--
we call it evidence-based
medicine services.
Everything we provide is
either cited in literature
or we have-- it's backed up
by good scientific studies.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
You're good?
I always bring
the positive point
that what we are going to do
and why we are going to do,
how long we are going to do,
and then come up with a plan
so that they can understand
that the disease process, if not
completely cured, at least
it will be under control.
I always give example of my own
kids that look at the father.
I'm telling you that I have
tried this and this medication
and this and this approach
and it worked very well.
And thanks God that they
are doing great now.
And once in a while where I
feel that, oh, in the clinic,
I didn't have time to
talk to the family,
I pick up the phone
whenever I have a chance
and reassure them
and do everything.
And exactly there's
absolutely no difference
between my own son and any
other patient come to see me.
