Check-up and Flu shots:

In Cardinal Santos Medical Center, Greenhills, Dr. Joseph Regalado holds office for his patients... usually catering to children; he is a Pediatrician after all - and has been doing this for at least 15 years, his being the family pediatrician since... well, since Bryce was born. IT was here where we found ourselves a little after lunchtime.

Doctor Tito Joe as he would like to be called by his wards - has a very family-oriented, child-friendly manner and this is what makes him very popular to the parents... if not the children. This is also why we visit him at least once year, to have the kids vaccinations updated - plus the usual pep talk and vitamins changes all those years.

Today was more of the same - the first for this year... and aside from this, we also decided to have him administer our flu shots. So now we're better protected from the Flu - including the dreaded, though seemingly harmless (at least in the Philippines) AH1N1 strain. But even if it seemed to be harmless - it's still better to be safe than sorry.

But as I was saying, Dr. Regalado has that magic touch and personal touch that can't help but put the children at ease - and he does have ready pearls of wisdom for both children and parents alike. He embodies one of those client-value type personalities... one that makes you not mind paying a little extra, nor having to endure long wait list lines (at times lasting as long as two hours).
