“I love caring for children because they are full of life and promise.”

My Approach

Children are so resilient. I find it immensely rewarding to change the course of their lives–to watch them recover, grow and do well. Caring for your child is a privilege that I don’t take lightly, and I treat every child as if they’re family. I am especially interested in developing novel approaches to treat children with craniosynostosis, brain tumors, and congenital disorders.
