Melanie Duval, MDCM MSc FRCSC Pediatric Otolaryngologist

Pediatric otolaryngology
Fun fact about me 

In the winter, if I'm not at the hospital I can be found on a ski slope.

I love working with children and their families because 
I enjoy making children smile and interacting with them and their family.
