About
I am committed to providing the best clinical care to our patients and their families. I believe excellent care is provided in a multidisciplinary arena incorporating our patient’s families.
Clinical Interests:
My primary interest lies in applying fundamental physiological principles to the care of critically ill children in the intensive care setting. I currently provide clinical services in the cardiac intensive care unit.
Research Interests:
My research interest stem from my clinical interest. I am vested in understanding hemodynamic principles in critically ill children through the analysis of large physiologic databases. Further, I have interest in the coagulation and hematological processes in the congenital heart disease patients.
