In her own words:
Pediatrics embodies more than clinical care. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to look after great families. I also realize that when a family selects me as their child’s pediatrician, it’s truly a choice that they make to invite me into their lives. I get to experience special milestones and privileged moments as they watch their little one grow.
As a mom, I understand the importance of having a trusted and reliable doctor to care for your child. This is why I deliver the type of care that mirrors what I would want for my own children. Doing my best to make each child feel safe and comfortable, during every clinic visit, is also very important to me.
I love learning and my families have taught me so much. They nurture and support me more than I could have ever imagined. As a result, I’ve grown to be a better doctor over time. With that, I am inspired to do my best to provide only the highest quality of care to all children.
