my baby was very sick and every doctor had told us that this is the way a baby grows. But Dr. WALIA took the time to understand what was wrong with my baby who actually is three years old and she sat there took her time examined her and said food allergies or a new entity called Ee may be the issue. The baby did well and now we go back to Nigeria for where we came to get her treated.

Dr. Walia was amazing. She kept in close contact with me in regards to my Son's condition while he was in the Hospital. My Son felt very comfortable with her. She has such a big heart. She came to the Hospital almost every day and called us as well. My Son was diagnosed and had surgery right away because she was so on top of things. Thank you Dr. Walia, I am forever grateful!

My son was very sick and was admitted several times for an intestinal infection. Not even the doctors at Johns Hopkins could help him. He was fed by a tube in his stomach and also was not gaining weight. She with her team of doctors gave my son a new life and injected my stool in him. He now has gained weight is eating well and since two years has not had the infection. My child is like any other child and now just started play school He did not enjoy any of his times as a baby. But now thanks to Dr. Walia and her team. He is able to live properly and enjoy himself. He plays - he eats and has none of the tubes and horrible bloom work done every week. We are thankful to Dr. Walia for saving out child's life.
