Personal Statement

I love to watch kids grow, and see the joy they bring their families as they become the people they are meant to be. There is nothing more precious than the good health of children, and I became a pediatrician to promote the well-being of every child I care for.

In the office, I take the time to talk through every question, big and small, that comes up as children develop. I believe that when families get their questions answered, they can make the best choices to help their kids truly thrive.
