“Our philosophy here is to really maintain a very, very close loop of communication with all of the members of the family — not just the close family. We always encourage extended family. We encourage whoever’s close to the child — their friends — to be a part of these discussions. We’re not just treating the patient. When you’re in pediatrics, the family is an extended part of that, and a big part of that, because you have to explain everything really well to the family” expressed Dr. Mittal.
