Clinical Interests
My interests in the care of children with general endocrine disorders, including disorders of growth and puberty, with a particular clinical expertise in the care of children with Turner syndrome, congenital adrenal hyperplasia and differences of sex development.

Care Philosophy
I believe in partnering with patients and their caregivers to provide evidenced-based and patient centered care. I strive to educate patients and their caregivers about their health so they can make informed decisions about their care. I love taking care of infants, children and adolescents and view the opportunity to be involved in their lives as one of the greatest privileges in my life.
