Purpose of the website

PLEASE NOTE: As with all of this Web site, I try to give general answers to common questions my patients and their parents ask me in my (real) office. If you have specific questions about your child you must ask your child's regular doctor. No doctor can give completely accurate advice about a particular child without knowing and examining that child. I will be happy to try and answer general questions about children's health, but unless your child is a regular patient of mine I cannot give you specific advice.

No, I don't sell them, but I do (as of 09/17/96 -- I should have done it a lot sooner, too) own stock in HP. On the other hand, I have one each of all three Palmtops -- the 95LX, the 100LX, and the 200LX -- and they made residency and practice a lot easier...
