Philosophy of Care
As a 24 year veteran of Army Medicine I have come to recognize that healthcare is a team sport. As such, I actively seek the cooperative input of parents and primary caregivers in the care of my patients so that the therapeutic options I provide are practical and timely to the patient’s needs.
Coordination of care with other sub-specialists is essential to the care of my patients. I am willing to consider integrating non-traditional options in their care. I consider it a great honor to provide for the healthcare needs of children.
