Dr. Fofah is passionate about pediatrics and is always looking for ways to improve the experience for his patients and their families. He is an advocate for all children under his care. Dr. Fofah’s clinic recently launched lead and mercury testing for newborns as well as the first general population type 1 diabetes screening program, both of which will save the lives of so many through early detection, intervention, and education.
