During her two years at Riley, Dr. Derrow met and treated children with wide range of special health care needs, including children in need of anesthesia in the operating room. She also participated in different medical rotations including anesthesia, cardiology, emergency medicine, pediatric medicine, craniofacial and cleft lip/palate surgery, child and adolescent development, cerebral palsy, and hematology/oncology.
When establishing her practice, Dr. Derrow worked hard to create a safe and welcoming environment where she could meet the specific dental and emotional needs of growing children while fostering good dental habits and instilling healthy and positive attitudes toward dental visits. She adheres to the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which state that all children should have a dental home by their first birthday.
