Overview
Services
As a pathologist, my job is to provide accurate, timely diagnoses for my patients. My areas of expertise include pediatric kidney tumors and interpretation of fine needle aspiration biopsies (a minimally invasive technique to sample tissue). I believe in an interdisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment, and am lucky to have fantastic colleagues across all disciplines here at Children’s Wisconsin.
