Lois Bielicki, ARNP
Dr. Steven Takas, M.D, M.B.A.
Four words sum up her practice: “It’s so much fun,” she says of working with pediatric patients. With a smile, she continues, “I laugh every day at work!” Besides having plenty of fun with her young patients, Ms. Bielicki loves that children are very resilient and heal quickly.
As a pediatrician, Dr. Takas sees patients ranging in age from newborn to 21 years old. He enjoys his profession because of his patients. He says, “Kids are fantastic patients. They always say something funny. Lately a five year old volunteered the information that he wanted to be a taxidermist. I heard Marine Biologist before, but never this one!” He continues, “Kids are cheerful and usually happy. Even when something is wrong, there is cheer in the room.”
