Medicine is an
art that combines the magic of science and gentleness of human compassion.
Children’s pure imagination, amazing resilience, and hopeful spirits drew me to
pursue a career in pediatrics. There is nothing more special than having the
opportunity to guide the physical, emotional, and spiritual growth of a child
from infancy to young adulthood. My priority is to partner with each family to
meet their child’s unique personality and medical needs while practicing
evidence-based medicine. I seek to become a trusted advisor and friend to
families for many years to come.
