 My name is Dr. Neyden Ackley. I'm the section chief of the division of pediatric pulmonology and sleep medicine here at the K. O. Neyden Children's Hospital. I've always loved children and I think that's sort of a cliche thing that pediatricians say, but holding a baby, you know, tickling a toddler, making an adolescent try to laugh with my dad jokes, that's kind of like my thing. Pediatric training was the way to go for me when I was in medical school and I felt like that was just the right group of patients I wanted to help and watching them heal and battle through adversity and get better is sort of like the thing that I love the most. The most common diagnosis made in our office is asthma and in the state of New Jersey about eight and a half percent of kids have asthma. That makes it a very common diagnosis and so it's important to take care of in our office. Allergic disorders, chronic cough, a recurrent episode of difficulty breathing and chronic cough associated with neuromuscular conditions are probably the most common group of patients we take care of. I feel very strongly that it's important to listen to the parent and to the patient. There's a lot we can gather and learn with diagnosis and treatment by simply hearing the story and so we'll take our time in the office that extra time that sometimes maybe isn't taken to listen to the patient, listen to the parent, hear them out and come up with a comprehensive plan that works for them. Ultimately we're here for the patient. We're here to help them get better and we're here to minimize their exposure to unnecessary tests, procedures and medications. So our way is to find that path that works for them and lead them that way.
