Individualized Care
Care planned around the child rather than expecting the child to fit a standard visit, from a first visit to children with special health care needs.
In Dr. Jenn's approach
The visit is planned around the child
Dr. Jenn's pediatric residency at Nationwide Children's Hospital was hospital-based. Her training included children who are medically complex and children with special health care needs, not only routine care for children who find the dentist easy.
