It is truly a privilege to care for children from infancy to adulthood, supporting all of the developmental, physical and emotional changes that occur.  I value open communication and shared decision making with parents and patients, ensuring that they have a clear understanding of the diagnosis and treatment plan.  One of the most rewarding aspects of pediatrics is the opportunity to help instill healthy habits into everyday life.  And I love interacting with children!  Their boundless energy, curiosity and excitement is one of the many reasons I love pediatrics.
