Care Philosophy
I have a longstanding devotion to improving health outcomes for all children through evidence-based patient care, collaboration with members of the health care team, research, and connection with families. My approach is gentle and thorough, and it brings me great joy to partner with families to achieve the best possible outcomes. I love to learn about each patient’s life outside of the clinic because I believe that the health of each person grows within their home, school, and community environments. Inside the clinic, I love working with all members of the health care team to develop a comprehensive plan of care that works best for your family.
