F. Clifford Valentin, MD

For Dr. Valentin, medicine was a natural career choice. He's a third-generation doctor who counts ten physicians among his close relatives, including both parents and his wife, who is a pediatrician. "My family introduced me very early on to the idea of helping people," Dr. Valentin says.
