My care philosophy

Taking care of children is a privilege and immense responsibility. I strive to provide every one of my patients with the highest-quality, evidence-based, compassionate care possible, while ensuring I get to know each of my patients and align my treatment plan with their goals. Meeting with a surgeon and discussing possible surgery for your child is a stressful time, and I recognize all that parents want is what is best for their child. My goal is to answer your questions and help guide families through the entire process. I look forward to working together as a team to take the best possible care of your children that I can.
