Bret Ribotsky: If somebody wants to increase the number of pediatric patients, how would you suggest they go about it?

Dr. Marc Benard

Marc Benard: The bottom line is credibility. Saying that you would like to do this and actually being able to do it are two different things. Start by getting as much pediatrics exposure as you can. Work within school systems, do screenings, get to know the pediatricians in your area, and get to know the athletic trainers in your area. You have to want to do it. You have to like it. If you don’t want to treat children, stay away from it because it is a whole other world.   

You have to abandon your ego and abandon behavior that would otherwise alienate you from children, because kids ultimately don’t care what degree you have. They care that they are not uncomfortable when they are in the office, so it takes a personality that can deal with these patients.
