About
My aim is to provide compassionate and comprehensive care to children with various chronic medical and neurodevelopmental issues that may have a genetic cause. I take a thorough approach to evaluating my patients and do my best to explain genetic concepts in ways that families can understand. My goal is to increase genetic knowledge in my patients and their families, and empower and enable them to meet families experiencing similar issues and advocate for their children.
