Overview

Services

I am pediatric surgeon and consider it a privilege to care for you or your loved one. As a parent, I understand how stressful and scary it can be to have a sick child.  My job as a pediatric surgeon is to diagnose, treat and return your child back to health. I pledge to take the time to explain the disease process, treatment options and answer any questions you and your child may have. I will care for your child with compassion, respect and empathy.

In addition to pediatric surgery, I have completed advanced training in minimally invasive surgery and pediatric cancer surgery, and I am committed to caring for every aspect of your child’s surgical needs. Our team of pediatric surgical providers utilizes state of the art technology and evidenced based medicine to provide the highest level of care in the country.
