Motherhood Center with Dr. Benjamin Ho: Doctor turned Dad: A pediatrician’s advice for parents of newborns

Dr. Benjamin Ho is the Medical Director of Concierge Medicine at Texas Children’s Pediatrics. He writes, "Becoming a parent is one of the most transformative experiences a person can have. For physicians, especially pediatricians, there is often an assumption that medical training prepares them thoroughly for the realities of raising a child. However, the truth is parenting is just as much of an emotional and relational journey as it is a medical one for physicians. Speaking as both a pediatrician and a father, I’ve learned the experience of caring for your own child reveals many lessons beyond medical training."
