Dr. Susan Walley was born to work with kids. She was hooked from the beginning. Recognizing that repertory issues are the #1 cause of hospitalization and realizing that parents don’t realize the impact on their own kids, gave her the inspiration to dive into the work of tobacco/nicotine/vaping addiction.
