get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

neurological disorders cover an area of medical science yet to reveal completely. It's even more complex when it happens in pediatric patients. Pediatric Neurology is one of the most unexplored fields in medicine. I love to accept the challenge by exploring this field to help the children with complicated neurological disorders.

I like working with kids because...

children are the blooming buds and future of our world. Growing up in a country like India especially in the city of Kolkata where Mother (Saint) Teresa did all her philanthropic work for children, I have always felt a higher calling to contribute in helping alleviate the mass suffering of children imposed by the poor health conditions.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

the majority of patients at the Dayton Children's Hospital, Ohio faces multiple health issues, often complicated by financial challenges and lack of medical insurance. I feel these Ohio residents deserve the highest quality of medical care. I'm proud to be a part of an organization that provides high-quality care to those patients. Getting an opportunity to be a part of Dayton Children's Hospital and taking care of these sick children in both inpatient as well as outpatient settings will serve my long-term goal of career.

Dayton Children's is special because...

working here with great doctors, nurses and other staff in a professional and friendly environment gives me a high level of satisfaction.

He listens very carefully and always takes interest into what is going on with my child. I would recommend to take your child to him.

Dr.Set is a courteous, professional neonatologist that explains things well.

He seemed annoyed by my child's behaviors. He is developmental delayed and cannot communicate well. Was not very personable l and needs to learn to show he cares about concerns that are brought up more. He did not come prepared for the appointment by looking over my child's medical history which he has a lot since has been seen there by many departments over the last 19 years including Neurology. I didn't have a good vibe from him.i may consider asking to se someone else in clinic.

The lady that did our son's EEG was amazing! She showed him what she was going to do and how it worked and it made him more comfortable!
