Personal Statement

I enjoy working with parents and families to set children up for lifelong health. As a pediatrician I have the unique opportunity of meeting patients as newborns and supporting parents as they make the choices that determine their healthcare priorities and goals. No two families are the same and I particularly enjoy meeting each family and tailoring my care to their needs. 

I have a special interest in allergic and immune disorders as well as improving the delivery of care. My goal is for all patients to feel welcomed and comfortable in the healthcare setting.
