Personal Statement

One concern with a child who is born with hearing loss is that we learn to speak based on what we hear. The thought of living your life, or as a parent, maybe living your life without your child saying "I love you" or "I do" or some of those really important phrases is tough. This makes it really critical to identify pediatric hearing loss in a timely manner and intervene in an appropriate way.

    Dr Bush was so wonderful while talking to my son, 17 years, directly to him concerning his needs. It's important that young people learn to communicate with their doctors and learn to be their own advocate. Dr Bush knows this and respected my son as a young man to speak to him one on one rather than communicating through the parent

      Dr Bush is a superstar! He is an incredible doctor. It is clear from the moment he steps into the exam room that he truly cares about his patients. He takes time to listen to you and to actually hear your concerns. He does not just dismiss you as is the case with so many doctors. He takes time to explain your condition so that you fully understand it. He lays out your options for care with your specific situation in mind. He is extremely empathetic in his interactions. He is just the best. UK is lucky to have him and should do whatever it takes to make sure that he stays at UK.
