John says Coffee matters a lot: "I like how it tastes" and he's "gotten into the science of making espresso," calling it "science making coffee in that way."

John says Pizza matters, noting "you should be able to try different kinds of pizza and have your favorite. That's important."

John says Telemedicine matters "increasingly so," as it helps "improve access" and allows doctors "to see them where they are."

Everyone should get to try different kinds of pizza and land on their favorite — that actually matters.

Constipation can fool anyone — even a pediatric GI specialist thinking about it all day.

Honestly, I took my own toddler to the ER convinced it was appendicitis — it was constipation.

A big part of my job is handing the same information to families over and over so they can actually partner with their care team.

Technology has completely changed how I interact with patients.

Telehealth lets me see a kid on his couch instead of dragging him through a car ride and a waiting room.

If kids had asthma, parents would swap strategies freely — GI problems deserve that same openness.

Seeing a teenager with autism comfortable on his own couch makes the whole visit work better — for him and for me.

Telehealth isn't right for everyone every time, but it genuinely improves access for families who need it most.

You can still form a real doctor-patient relationship through a screen — that used to feel impossible to me.

Constipation affects up to one in four pediatrician visits, but parents still feel like they can't talk about it openly.

Making espresso is basically applied science — pressure, volume, speed — and I'm a little deep into it.

Kids with complex medical needs shouldn't have to travel six hours just to have a conversation with a specialist.

After all my training, I still rushed my constipated toddler to the ER thinking it was appendicitis — it fools everyone.
