Can you, Dr Dina, be my child's pediatrician?
Dr Dina, may I ask you a question?
IMPORTANT: if you have a question about a current state of health or medical condition, whether for yourself or a child in your care, PLEASE CONSULT A PHYSICIAN IN PERSON AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I love providing health and parenting information online, however, due to the importance with proper diagnosis of any health situation – physicians are not permitted to share “medical advice”, nor would it be prudent to do so.
