“I am constantly striving to do the best for my little patients. I firmly believe that every child must be given the opportunity to achieve their full potential despite disabilities such as hearing impairment. Many of my patients have complex medical problems. Sometimes hearing impairment can be the only aspect which can be optimised and this can change their quality of life significantly.”
