Dr Pai is absolutely amazing. She was very thorough in collecting patient history and family history as well as running labs to understand our Child's full story, situation and our concerns. She took time to explain potential risks and treatment options or ways to reduce risk related to our son's genetic condition.(Alpha 1). My husband and I appreciated her level of expertise and knowledge on this unique condition and how she explained things to us as parents as well as how well she connected with our son and explained things to him . We could not ask for a better Dr and would absolutely recommend her to anyone especially those children who have the Alpha 1 genotype/phenotype. She is wonderful and also connected us with a pulmonologist there that she works with so we can have our son's lungs evaluated along with the liver because Alpha 1 can affect both. We are thankful for this and plan to see the pulmonologist af Vanderbilt Children's in about a month

Dr. Pai is excellent at explaining matters directly to my child or my child's stuffed animal. She is friendly and positive or matter-of-fact.
