I love children and consider them fascinating. They bring joy to the world. I've done a lot of training, to help me take care of all aspects of pediatric care. This includes training beyond my residency in Pediatrics. I did a year of training in Pediatric Surgery and General Surgery, as well as a year of Critical Care Pediatric Medicine. My extensive training has helped me stay calm when everyone else seems to be freaking out, and make better decisions regarding the sick child. My 25 plus years of experience has helped me pick up on changes outside what's considered normal, early. What I consider my core in Pediatric Medicine, is my love for children. Every child is precious.
