We are fortunate to have pediatricians that provide 24/7 care for their patients; the level of care and support Dr McGonigle & Dr Chatur provide for Ben (&our whole family) is unmeasurable.

Ben's quality of life has been positively impacted by his dr team & I'm sure many families of medically fragile children feel the same way about their own drs.
We are grateful for the Garneau team & will continue to fight for them as they have done for us.
