My goal is to improve each child’s quality of life and daily function - not simply to treat symptoms. I take the time to understand each family’s concerns, recognizing that gastrointestinal symptoms can impact the entire family. I partner with families to develop individualized treatment plans that are practical, sustainable, and evidence-based. I recognize the important connection between the brain and gut and incorporate medical, behavioral, and dietary approaches when appropriate. I believe in empowering families through education, helping them understand the ‘why’ behind recommendations so they feel informed and confident in carrying out the treatment plan. I value shared decision-making, thoughtful use of testing, and close collaboration with referring providers and multidisciplinary teams to provide coordinated, compassionate care.
