Clinical Interests
My interests include Regional Anesthesia/Analgesia, Acute Pain Management, Anesthesia for liver and kidney transplant for pediatric patients
Care Philosophy
Although my primary responsibility is the safe intra-operative care of a child, I understand that life-events such as surgery and anesthesia can affect an entire family. Each day I aim to put families at ease with the assurance that the care your child will receive that day is the the best anyone can offer.
