Pediatric Neurologist, Dr. Sean Goretzke, shares his approach to navigating complex treatment options and quality of life.

In this week’s episode, we hear from Dr. Sean Goretzke, a Pediatric Neurologist and Division Director of Child Neurology Services at Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital, where he has a special interest in managing children with concussions and cerebral palsy. Dr. Goretzke is also an assistant professor of Pediatric Neurology in the Department of Neurology at Saint Louis University School of Medicine.

Dr. Goretzke is the father of six kids. I can say with certainty that this has greatly influenced his relatable style when practicing medicine, which he shares more about in this episode. We touch on various subjects, from navigating difficult medication decisions, comfort measures, quality of life discussions, and the social inequalities impacting healthcare and medicine.
