Clinical Interests
I enjoy the diagnosis and treatment of common and uncommon pediatric emergency conditions.
Care Philosophy
I strongly believe in shared decision making with families that I work with in the emergency department and urgent care. I recognize that the emergency department can be a stressful place for children and their caregivers and I strive to provide respectful, comprehensive, and caring support for all of my patients.
