About This Podcast
What does your pediatrician wish they had more time to tell you?
Dr. Dua Hassan is a physician at Boston Children’s Hospital. She earned her M.D./MPH from Columbia University and completed pediatrics training at Harvard. She writes about health and medicine for general audiences, and has a habit of interrogating medical assumptions that everyone else has stopped questioning.
In Second Opinion, Dr. Dua breaks down the health topics that keep parents up at night and answers questions they never thought to ask. No jargon, no judgement, no crying child sitting on your lap, just a second opinion you can trust.
