Hi I'm Dr. Varshney and I practice
pediatric allergy and immunology
Practicing medicine is just a unique
field combining science and the
opportunity to help people everyday
through your work and so I think that's
just an incredible combination it makes
going to work so meaningful and so
considering what I wanted to do I wanted
something that would allow me to help
people
I enjoyed science and I enjoyed really
the human aspect of Medicine and so that
really what drew me to medicine as a
career
I love my specialty and I've always
loved working with kids and so that drew
me to pediatrics early on in medical
school I love their joy I love their
hope their courage and I love the unique
relationship that pediatric physicians
have with their patients and their
patients families then in thinking about
what specialty I wanted to do if I
wanted to specialize I found myself
really drawn to allergy and immunology
there's just a wide range of
conditions that you care for and it
allows you to still have that long-term
relationship with your patients which is
what brought me into medicine in the
first place
so so pediatric allergy is I think a
fantastic field I truly love what I do
there's such a wide range of conditions
that we care for from food allergy and
eczema to asthma to complex immune
deficiencies and a common thread with
all of them is the opportunity to have
these long-term relationships with your
patients and that really brings me just
great great satisfaction
In a field like allergy and immunology
which is just constantly expanding we're
learning so much each day you know my
goal and you know the reason I come to
work each day is to bring what I learn
and what the field is learning to my
patients to help them you know lead
healthier lives and so I think you know
I think that's what what they should
know
I love to cook and I love to bake and I
like to cook and bake all sorts of
cuisines and learn new recipes and I
think actually that intersects with my
my work - because I'm food allergy I
think requires a really in-depth
knowledge of the different foods that
are out there and you know I hear from
my patients and their families a lot of
what they eat and say foods and food
triggers and so that's just an extension
of one of my other passions which is I'm
cooking and baking I love the outdoors
so I love to hike and bike and just be
out in nature I think it is its
restorative and it's so many of nature's
beauties you just man cannot recreate
and so I just love experiencing that and
I love to do that with my family so I
love spending time with my family
exploring nature so we do a lot of
outdoor stuff and and traveling also
traveling is a real real interest of
mine and I love exploring new cultures
meeting new people and just learning new
ways to see the world
