Meet Dr. David

[MUSIC PLAYING] So I'm Dr. Henry David. I work in the section of Child Neurology for Comer Hospital. I do a lot of inpatient consult service. I also do consultation in the NICU as well as the pediatric ICU.

What inspired me to become a physician was really, I used to work in another industry. I was a web developer. And I kind of felt like sitting at a desk eight hours or 12 hours a day, it just wasn't for me. I felt like I needed to be on my feet. I wanted to meet new people every day.

I think what really drew me to pediatrics was the idea that there's a real family element to treatment in pediatrics, and there's an alliance you build with the parents. So you're not just treating the patient.

You're really trying to be there for a whole group of people, and really guide them through a difficult time in their lives, sometimes. And I feel like it's important that someone is there to guide parents through these times who can bring knowledge, bring expertise that really comforts them, or at least informs them.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is when I realize I've made a difference. And some people maybe-- enough people that work in our field now know that we do a lot these days that seems like small, small things we do in one moment.

But then, you know, when I follow patients up later outside the hospital, and I meet them, it's really an amazing feeling to see a child rebound. And just to meet them and have a conversation with them later is really rewarding. [MUSIC PLAYING]

Why does this provider not have a star rating?

Our goal is to provide our patients and visitors with correct and useful information. We only post provider satisfaction information from clinic surveys when they are returned from patients.

This provider has not had surveys returned that meet the necessary sample size

About Our Star Ratings and Comments:

Randomly selected patients are sent patient satisfaction surveys after their visits. We get thousands of survey responses each year. The responses are used to improve patient experience and recognize staff members for the care they provide. Patient survey responses are also used to make star ratings for each provider.

For the star ratings and comments, all feedback on the provider web page is posted as it was given from patients. Comments that do not apply, risk patient privacy, or are not appropriate are not posted. Star ratings and comments come from a number of survey questions. A star rating is not given if a provider only has a small number of survey responses.
