Care Philosophy

“The most rewarding moment is seeing a child get back on the field, the court or simply back to being a kid. Watching them regain their confidence and seeing the profound relief on their parents’ faces makes the years of training completely worth it. You aren’t just treating a condition; you are giving a child their childhood back.”

Javier Masquijo, M.D.
