Doc Talk is a weekly series of short video podcasts that allow you to go on a virtual visit to a doctor’s office. We’ve asked many of the questions moms want answers to, so all you have to do is clicdiacon.jpgk, watch and listen to get the info you need from an expert at Mercy Health System. For more information about the doctor’s background and training, simply click on his photo to see a bio video podcast.

(By the way, mamas, Dr. Diacon, pictured here, is one of THE nicest doctors I’ve ever interviewed. And, like us, he loves babies! A true expert in his field, he helps to write the exam all sonographers in the U.S. must take in order to be certified.)
