Personal Statement
I believe that quality of care and positive health outcomes are of the utmost importance when it comes to the evaluation and management of our children. I strive to build compassionate relationships with my patients and their families and to actively seek their input when creating a diagnostic and treatment plan suitable to an individual child. Education and anticipatory guidance play a critical role in management of many chronic neurological conditions, and it should be part of every patient visit. By ensuring an open and honest dialogue with my patients and their families, I hope to provide high quality care and to promote optimal health outcomes for my patients.
