Clinical Interests
As a nephrology provider for over 10 years, I am experienced in treating children of all ages, including newborns and young adults, with acute and/or chronic kidney disease. I am also interested in the management of children with high blood pressure.
Care Philosophy
I believe in a family centered approach to caring for children with kidney disease. I believe patient and family education is essential for fostering a team approach to treatment and overall health.
