About
I’m a board certified neonatologist who specializes in the intensive care of newborn infants. I have a special interest in caring for premature infants and infants with congenital birth defects. I’m a consultant with the Fetal Concerns Program which is a program that coordinates care management for families expecting the birth of a child with prenatally diagnosed birth defects.
I’m very involved with medical administration and education. I’m the Medical Director of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Children’s Wisconsin – Milwaukee Campus. I enjoy community outreach activities and teaching.
