My Approach

I have always been fascinated by how children grow, develop and learn, so pediatrics was a natural choice for me. Medicine combined my love of interacting with people with my interest in science and education. Being a general pediatrician allows me to see children from birth through adolescence.

I combine evidence-based medicine with patient-centered care. I think it's important to include families in clinical decisions while utilizing the latest information available.

I am proud that I get to coach families through the milestones of their children's lives and also get to help them in times of need. Being able work with such a diverse population enriches my life and I am proud to be part of this community. I also love that I get to teach on a daily basis; both my students and patients challenge me to be the best physician I can be.
