Overview

Services

I grew up in Wisconsin and after being away for 8 years during college and medical school, I was very happy with the opportunity to complete my training to become a pediatrician in Milwaukee. It is a privilege to be able to care for your children from when they are newborns until they are adults. I strive to focus on prevention of illnesses through a healthy lifestyle and making sure to involve your family in decision making. I understand the importance of considering your own family's unique life experiences and obstacles to make sure your children grow up to be the healthiest adults they can be. Becoming a parent myself has been the most wonderful experience of my life. She has opened my eyes to how difficult it can be to be a parent at times, but how amazing it is at the same time. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, travel, and exercise outdoors.

Nurses were helpful, they brought in a second nurse during vaccine time to assist with one twin while the other got their shot with me. They also keep the focus on one baby during the measurement time instead of talking about both as that is overwhelming to me to handle a baby and talk at the same time and even more when you're having to talk about the other baby when holding the other.

Would be helpful to have providers talk about what to look for going forward. Also to address common concerns of other parents or maybe questions that I should have at this stage of parenting; maybe I don't know what to be looking for or asking.
