Biography
Why did you become a physician? I became a pediatrician because I enjoy working with children. I also love the unique ability support and educate children and their parents early in their childrens' lives, to help them build life-long healthy habits.
What qualities best describe the care you provide to your patients? I am attentive, collaborative and comprehensive.
Being a healthcare provider, what drives/motivates you each day? The children! My goal is to educate parents and their children early in their lives, and continue those relationships until the children are old enough to advocate for themselves. Ideally, this would foster a sense of trust with me and for the healthcare system as a whole. If I can do that, then I’ve done my job.
What is the most important message you would like to share with your patients? The most important thing for my patients to know is that I became a physician to help patients. I look forward to creating a respectful and engaging relationship and providing the best care for your children!
Special Procedures: Circumcisions
Hobbies: Cooking, baking and spending time with my dog, Darwin.
