Professional Statement

I aspire to deliver evidence-based, high quality, high value care to all patients. The field of pediatrics is unique in that we, as physicians, play a role in the well being of both patient and family, so I strive to treat everyone with empathy, understanding, and compassion. I aim to foster an environment of inclusivity, utilizing a team approach with all staff members and sub-specialists to achieve the best possible outcomes for our critically ill patients.
