My goal is to establish a long-term relationship with you from the first newborn appointment to the last pediatric visit before college or trade school. I aim to provide you with quality medical care in a child-friendly environment. I am happy to meet with you, for wellness visits and school/sports/camp physicals, to provide your family with guidance for optimal health and wellness.

As the Division Head of Hospital Based Medicine Outreach, I have focused much of my clinical interests surrounding clinical simulation activities and quality improvement. More recently, we are using both of these tools to develop pediatric core competencies for the pediatric hospitalist.
