Jean-Martin Laberge

General Surgery

I love children and their resilience as well as the incredibly varied nature of our work, which begins in the womb and ends in adulthood. I love explaining problems and possible solutions, both to children and families and to residents, nurses and other care staff. I love the challenge of finding solutions to new or complex problems.
