More about Dr. Greta Rainsford, MD
Pediatrics became my life goal at an early age. As an only child, I was always around other people's babies and children. A love of mysteries and puzzles produced a marriage of them all. Pediatrics in its early stages is very much a puzzle because that infant and young child cannot use language, so we have to use other techniques to discover the problem. An illness or a problem is a mystery to be solved. Working with parents, while sometimes stressful, has been rewarding. There is no question that watching babies become children, children become adolescents, and adolescents become adults has been magical. The greatest reward is having those grown babies, now parents, come to me as their children’s pediatrician as I was theirs.
