Clinical Interests
My primary focus is the child with difficult to control asthma. Other interests include athletes with respiratory disorders, infants requiring oxygen, children with chronic lung disease of prematurity and bronchiolitis.

Care Philosophy
My goal as a pediatric pulmonologist to strive to prevent breathing problems from keeping any child from achieving their full potential. I recognize and embrace the fact that this is a team effort, and enjoy collaborating with families to find workable treatment plans that are acceptable to them.
