Care Philosophy

My care philosophy is to always place my patients and their families first. I accomplish this by reserving time at each appointment to address all concerns that each parent/guardian may have. This allows me to fully provide the best patient and family centered care at the highest level from evidence-based research. Open communication with my patients as well as their families - whether in the clinic, by phone, or with MyChart messaging-is essential for me to provide excellent care at every visit.

Research Interest

Safe sleep practices in infancy, specifically at the local and state levels, to help provide every infant with a safe sleep environment.
