Personal Statement
I believe in providing the best care I can for all my patients and ensuring that families feel that I have earned their trust and the honor of caring for their child. I value listening, active communication, and setting expectations about care and medical decisions, and I strive to work together with families. I love pediatrics because kids want to be better and we're all on the same team with the same goals: to go home healthy and happy.
