My care philosophy
Families are integral to the healing of their children no matter how complex the diagnosis or whether it can be cared for at home or in the hospital. I endeavor to include and involve the family as much as possible in the care of their child’s condition to promote long-term treatment success and family comfort in taking care of their sick child.
