I have always loved children and have always felt a connection with them. I love taking care of many different age groups and watching kids grow. My goal is to collaborate with my patients, their physicians, and their family. I find it most rewarding to connect with families and make long-lasting relationships. I like knowing that families appreciate that I listen to them. I always tell my patients that I will be taking care of their entire body, from head to toe. I walk them through my thought process and why I may recommend one treatment over another. If a child is old enough to speak, I give them a chance to tell me what they are thinking. To me, a successful outcome is when my patient and their family feel that they have been heard.
