- Teach children and parents to appreciate their bodies and how to establish and maintain a lifetime of good health.
“Some of my friends laugh about how I feel about ‘my kids’ doctor’ but they really don’t get that you don’t just ‘doctor’ my kids – you treat all of us – individually, as well as a whole. I have always felt that you see us , not just as textbook cases, but as people.” - Aviva Gelberman
