    Why I Treat Children

    Even in the face of adversity and medical challenges, children show remarkable resilience. My patients inspire me on a daily basis to be the best physician I can be. I chose to specialize in pediatric pulmonary medicine and sleep medicine because these conditions affect a large amount of the general population, and I wanted to help children with a wide variety of disorders to live happy and healthy lives.

    What I'm Passionate About

    I am passionate about helping each family learn to understand their child鈥檚 condition. By working with my patients to help them understand their underlying condition, triggers and treatments, my goal is to enable families to manage their children鈥檚 condition at home and stay out of the hospital as much as possible. I enjoy getting to know my patients and what activities they like to do when they are well. My proudest moments are seeing my patients doing what they love when healthy. 聽 Some of the conditions I鈥檓 especially interested in with my practice include: aerodigestive tract disorders asthma pulmonary conditions related to cerebral palsy ventilator dependency
