-->Eric Tjonahen, MD is a Pediatrican living with his family in the Greater Boston area. He talks about how his practice, Pediatric Associates of Norwood and Franklin, has made major changes in the way they see their young patients, reserving the mornings for newborns and infants, as well as more serious cases, and limits the numbers of patients and staff to keep a safe environment for everyone. He stresses the importance of staying home, keeping faces covered with masks and washing hands, as it is vital we keep social distancing to avoid the spread of COVID-19. Until mass testing of the public can become available, he explains that we really can't go "back to normal" or else the disease will continue to spread. We discuss how to keep an eye on the mental health of our children and family members, as this is a very stressful and scary time for everyone. He says it's important we really take the time to talk to our children about what is happening in an open and honest way, about why we have to quarantine and social distance, so that we can keep them safe and healthy.
-->Eric is a very smart, talented and creative person. He and his wife Amanda met singing A Capella in college...and continue their love for singing with family and friends, hosting awesome karaoke parties and setting up fantastic Photo Booths! You can always count on Eric to bring the fun and the music!
-->During this difficult time, Eric stresses that we must take the quarantine seriously, and treasure this unique opportunity we have with our family. Thank you so much Eric for your great advice and information!
