Patients Seen: Ages Newborn–21
As a pedi­a­tri­cian my goal is to part­ner with the par­ents of my patients to pro­vide care and guid­ance per­tain­ing to the health of their child. The par­ents are the experts on their child and I feel that it is my job as the child’s pedi­a­tri­cian to pro­vide the most evi­dence-based care rec­om­men­da­tions so that par­ents can make the most informed deci­sions on the care of their child.
