"I am honored to have the unique opportunity to provide important preventative care and health counseling while watching my patients grow into healthy and informed young adults. I enjoy working together with patients and families to promote wellness and treat illness from infancy through young adulthood. I treasure the lessons these children teach me along the way and am reminded daily of the privilege it is to care for this special population."
