Dr. Dennis Michael Rustom, MD

When it comes to on-the-job training, some programs are a cut above the rest. Thats why Dr. Rustom chose the Childrens National Medical Center (CNMC) in Washington, D.C., for his internship and residency program. CNMC is recognized as one of the leaders in pediatric training, and is consistently ranked among the best pediatric hospitals in America by US News & World Report. As part of the CNMC training program, Dr. Rustom not only participated in using innovative treatments for childhood illnesses and injuries, he also learned the subtle art of communicating eff ectively with children. Board certified in pediatrics, Dr. Rustom relies on patience and a gentle, reassuring approach to put his young patients at ease. And that, along with his extensive knowledge base, is a winning combination parents can appreciate.
