I have always enjoyed science and medicine, and have always wanted to work with children. They are so resilient and have taught me so much, so Pediatrics is the perfect career for me! I enjoy educating parents and children about their health. Preventive medicine is so important, and is the center of my approach to practice.

    Very impressed with the staff at ARC S.1st Pediatrics. Quick and easy scheduling and check in. Dr. and nurses made my 4 year old's well child checkup fun and positive. I love how they took time to explain to my little one what was to be expected during her check up.
