Q&A with Dr. Suarez
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
My favorite shows are El Chavo del Ocho and El Chapulín Colorado.
What is your favorite children's book?
The Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas is full of adventure, intrigue, and unforgettable characters like Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and of course, D’Artagnan
What was your favorite childhood toy?
If I had a childhood, I think a soccer ball would be a perfect “toy” too. It’s simple but opens up so many possibilities — you can play alone, with friends, make up new games, or even just practice tricks
Who is your greatest inspiration?
My father is my greatest inspiration because he was a medical doctor” speaks volumes about both his dedication and the impact he had on your life.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Outside of work, one of my favorite hobbies is swimming. It helps me stay fit, clear my mind, and unwind after a busy day
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I enjoy working with children and find it rewarding to support their growth, health, and well-being.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
What sets me apart is my ability to combine empathy with clear communication and a strong work ethic. I take the time to truly listen to patients and their families, making sure they feel heard, respected, and understood. My background has taught me the importance of compassion in medicine — especially from watching my father, who was a dedicated medical doctor and my greatest inspiration. To build positive rapport, I focus on being approachable, patient, and respectful. I always aim to create a calm, supportive environment where patients and families feel safe and valued
