About
Personal Statement
As a neonatologist, I feel honored to care for the smallest and most vulnerable patients. My goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for each of my patients by using an evidence based approach to their treatment and working closely with our highly skilled multidisciplinary teams. I strive to create a collaborative partnership with each family and support each of them during their infant’s hospitalization. I find it extremely fulfilling to care for my NICU patients, from their first days in the hospital when they are in their most fragile states to their discharge when they are thriving and ready to go home with their families.
