Creating better communication for pediatric patients

Acknowledging how intimidating the doctor’s office can be for pediatric patients, in early 2021, Tony GiaQuinta, MD, PPG – Pediatrics, introduced a homemade prototype for a visual board to ease children’s anxiety. Simple images can help provide a roadmap for these younger patients and make it easier to talk and interact with them so that, both children and parents, can get the most out of their appointment. Dr. GiaQuinta shares more about how this simple tool is proving to have huge benefits.
