He has the desire to make a difference in the lives of children with physical, social or behavioral health conditions.
"Children are our future and I know that early medical intervention will give them the chance to be healthy and develop into productive adults," Ordonez said.
He believes having children participate in activities they enjoy is a great way to promote a healthy lifestyle. For instance, Ordonez enjoys football, soccer and martial arts to stay active.
“It's not just about making sure the child is growing and meeting their milestones and eating. There's a lot of things involved to make sure a child is healthy," he said.
He also wants his patients and families to know he's on their team and will work collaboratively with them to meet their goals.
"I try to have empathetic interactions with parents so that I can inform them about their child's health," Ordonez said. "I don't just let them know what I think. I take into account what they want, too. I want to help improve their health and needs to help them feel better."
