Andrew Valenzuela, MD - Banner Children's Specialists Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine Clinic

Rapport is key for all patients and even more so in the pediatric population. Being able to find a patients motivation and leverage that to achieve our sleep-related goals has been extremely helpful. When age appropriate, having the childs understanding and buy-in is key to treating any health problem. I love to use diagrams, pictorials and analogies to simplify complex issues so that patients and their families leave the visit feeling heard, knowledgeable and empowered
