Since joining CSG in the Department of Otolaryngology in 2005, Kristina has enjoyed working with children of all ages in general ENT. She loves the energy, spirit, and the brutal honesty of children and cannot think of a better place to work. Kristina believes that providing quality care for our children means that we not only need to be up to date in evidenced based practice, but that we are able critically evaluate that evidence and sometimes tailor those recommendations to meet the individual needs of the patient. She also believes that care for children needs to focus on establishing a partnership between the patient, provider and parents. It is this partnership that makes pediatrics such a unique field and helps us to jointly create a care plan that will work with everyone to best treat illnesses and optimize the patient and family’s health potential.
