Growing up in Massachusetts, Dr. Elizabeth Lidstone-Jayanath originally wanted to be a veterinarian. After a time, however, she decided she would rather make a career out of helping children instead of animals. Upon graduating from the University of New Hampshire and UMass Medical School, she completed her residency in Pediatrics at Bay State Hospital in Springfield, Massachusetts.
Dr. Lidstone-Jayanath is a physician with a warm, friendly manner who strongly believes in educating her patients as much as possible. “I think it’s important to take the time to explain to children and parents the nature of their illness and how I intend to treat it. No matter how busy we are as physicians we can’t forget how important communicating with our patients is.”
