Practice Philosophy:
I am a specialist in the management of the poisoned patient. We are surrounded by and encounter poisons every day of our lives. As a specialist, my role is to understand the pathophysiology and symptomatology of different poisonings in order to identify the cause of a patient’s illness and develop a treatment plan to optimize outcomes. The patient’s we manage come in all ages, from newborns to geriatrics, and their associated comorbidities can influence management. We interact with both health care providers and the public, so effective communication skills with a broad demographic is paramount.
