Personal Statement
My philosophy of care can be simply described: I treat every patient as if it were my own child.
I am deeply committed to giving the best evidence-based care to my patients. Caring for children truly brings me joy, and I love being able to engage with them throughout the treatment process in order to get to a successful outcome. I believe the best outcomes are developed from shared decision-making, which involves my educating patients and families on their diagnoses and making a customized treatment plan based on individual patient needs.
In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hunting and golfing. I am married to a beautiful anesthesiologist, and so far, our family includes a black Labrador Retriever named Gus Gus.
