Good luck to all of the students, teachers, administrators and parents on the first day of school tomorrow (whether in-person or virtual)!

So glad for “school” to start Monday. If you haven’t gotten your child’s yearly well check done, it’s never too late!

Pediatricians are taking precautions to make sure visits are safe.

Excited to be elected to the board of the Florida Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Looking forward to continuing to advocate for children and pediatricians!

Bottom line: No Oragel. Benzocaine is dangerous for babies and kids

Listen to Dr Ahson. This is a marathon not a sprint.

All day I’ve had parents asking questions about getting tested for COVID, or what to do if someone they know is COVID +, or how to know if their child has COVID.

Here’s my advice as of today: Assume every person you come into contact with has COVID.

If you have a positive household or close contact STAY HOME. Sorry that’s the deal. It doesn’t matter what your child’s blood type is or if they had a sniffle in November. Just stay home

Wear a mask. Keep away from people. It sucks I know. But there are really cute masks on Etsy— you can support small businesses and make a fashion statement.

Be kind to one another. And take a deep breath.
