“I chose pediatrics as a career because kids are fun, resilient, and inspiring. The long term relationship with patients and their families is one of my favorite parts of being a pediatrician. I strive to help all my patients live their healthiest lives by practicing evidence based medicine and collaborating with the patient and their families. Understanding each individual is different and developing relationships of trust is crucial.”
