Philosophy of Care
It is my privilege to care for sick children and to support both children and their families during life-threatening and critical illness. I strive to provide care for children and their families in a compassionate and evidence based fashion while working with a multidisciplinary and caring team made up of physicians, nurses, and many other support staff. It is my honor to be part of the wonderful team at UC Davis Children’s Hospital.
