About
I provide care to children with a wide array of gastrointestinal disorders. My goal is to take a team based approach with my patients and their families. I aim to develop plans for diagnosis and treatment that are safe, effective, evidenced based and feasible for the family. I have a special interest in social determinants of health, improving accessibility to healthcare, as well as, diversity, equity, and inclusion. I am conducting health services research that I hope will help inform and improve healthcare policies so children can receive the best possible care.
