Q&A with Dr. Fenner
What is your favorite animated movie or cartoon?
Coco
What is your favorite children's book?
Good Night Moon. It is a beautiful way to help kids peacefully unwind.
What was your favorite childhood toy?
My Bike
Who is your greatest inspiration?
My father. He cared deeply for other people and worked to help them through good times and bad. He did it with humility and compassion.
What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?
Biking, hiking, running, swimming. I do triathlons every year.
Music. I play cello, guitar, mandolin and old time fiddle.
What inspired you to work in pediatrics?
I knew from the beginning that I loved watching children and families grow. Helping children and parents navigate through the years and being involved in their good times and hard times gives meaning beyond the medical aspects of my job.
What unique qualities, skills, or services set you apart, and how do you build a positive rapport with patients and their families?
I have been in practice for many years. I have seen children grow from the newborn period through childhood and adolescence. Now I see the children of many of those who I knew as children. Having to long term perspective can help guide parents and kids through the trying times.
How do you accommodate patients with special needs?
I have dealt with kids with a wide variety of special needs including physical, neurological, developmental, mental health and social issues. I always try to understand the issues through the child's perspective, not just the medical conditions.
