About
I'm trained Internal Medicine as well as Allergy and Immunology. I have launched the transition program for adolescents and young adults with primary immunodeficiency disorders at Texas Children's Hospital to transition those individuals into adult care.
My clinical interest is in primary immunodeficiency disorders, mast cells and eosinophils disorders.
My research is focused on improving Quality of life and clinical outcomes of patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders.
My philosophy is to take personal responsibility in giving our patients and families the best care that is supported by the highest order of compassion, innovation, and science. And to strive to provide our patients the highest quality of health care that will improve both their health and overall wellbeing.
