Specialty Information

Specialties
  • Pediatric Hematology / Oncology
Clinical Interests
I primarily focus on the care for patients with bleeding and thrombotic disorders. I also strive to develop novel diagnostic assays and therapies to advance our knowledge in the treatment of these diseases in the hopes of improving the lives of the patients we serve.

Care Philosophy
I work with patients and their families to incorporate their values into the medical decision making process. Diagnostic and therapeutic decisions are a shared decision making process that incorporates medical expertise with individual preferences. I enjoyed working with children and their boundless enthusiasm and happiness. I try to best assess the concerns and important concepts to families and try to connect with families on a personal level.

Personal Interests
Hobbies include: technology nerd and cooking
