My Practice
In my scope of practice I provide patients and their families with the highest quality of pediatric care. I focus on preventive care, and compliment my practice with evidenced based medicine. I evaluate my patients in the comfort of their home, hotel room or current residence. I spend quality time counseling families regarding clinical findings, interpretation of these findings, medical assessment and proposed treatment plans. As a pediatrician, I am a big advocate of family centered medicine, and encourage families to be directly involved in their child’s care and medical decision making, and coming up with treatment plans together with me. My patients and their families have my cellular phone as well as my personal beeper number. I am directly available over the phone or via e-mail throughout most of the day. If I am with another patient or rounding at the hospital and unable to answer my phone or pages immediately, I typically will respond to your call within the hour.
