I am a pediatric anesthesiologist and I love my job more each and every day. Helping children stay safe through their surgery gives me a deep sense of purpose, and I strive to provide the same care I would want for my own children. I can say with confidence that all of us on the perioperative services team feel the same way, whether or not we have kids. Because of that and the quality of care provided by Children's Wisconsin across the board, I am happy to call this home.
