Clinical Interests
Pediatric and adolescent well care; Healthy nutrition; Family Planning
Care Philosophy
Patients and families should have access to high-quality information to make informed healthcare decisions. Ultimately they are the experts in their lives and experiences, so my role is to help provide the information they need or want in a culturally and age-appropriate manner, provide unbiased guidance, and support their growth.
