Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there! Dr. John Pauls, a board-certified allergy and immunology specialist at Sharp Rees-Stealy, shared what fatherhood means to him in a recent Sharp Health News article.

"Being a father (and now grandfather) has profoundly deepened my empathy and made me a better doctor. It has given me a firsthand understanding of the worries, hopes, and questions that come with being a parent. It has also given me a greater ability to connect more meaningfully not only with my young patients but also with their parents. This shared perspective helps build trust, strengthens communication, and reminds me daily of the human side of medicine. Besides, being a father and grandfather gives me joy and satisfaction in all aspects of my life!"

Hear from other Sharp doctors on how fatherhood has impacted them.
