Philosophy of care | My philosophy of care is focusing on the GI system, while taking care of the whole child. I believe in developing a care team with family and caregivers of patients, and value shared decision-making. I will always make medical decisions for patients that I would want for my own children. | Why I entered medicine | I have always been interested in science. My favorite childhood activities were looking at droplets of water under my play microscope, using a home chemistry set and playing the game Operation. I was fascinated by science but drawn to medicine because I admired my mother's career as a nurse. Her dedication to the care of patients and the joy she received from it was contagious. | Community involvement | I am a youth sports coach. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my wife and four children. We love the outdoors; hiking, paddle boarding and visiting national parks. I also enjoy cooking and live music. Mr. Paul is rated as an Experienced provider by MediFind in the treatment of Malnutrition. His top areas of expertise are Malnutrition, Chronic Idiopathic Constipation (CIC), Lactose Intolerance, and Morning Sickness.

Philosophy of care | I feel that treating the whole patient is very important in medicine. A disease or diagnosis can affect people very differently, so individualized treatment plans are the norm. To find the best way to treat you, I first consider your personal needs and how your diagnosis and treatment may affect other aspects of your life. | Why I entered medicine | I got into pediatrics because I have always enjoyed working with children. My mom was a special education teacher. After working during high school and college as a nurse technician at a long-term care facility for medically complex children, I knew I wanted to go into medicine, specifically pediatrics. During training I cared for children who had gastrointestinal disorders, including intestinal failure and inflammatory bowel disease, sparking my interest and passion in gastroenterology. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my husband, 2-year-old daughter and French bulldog Linus. Together we love to travel and explore new places. In my spare time I love to cook and bake. I also enjoy photography and snowboarding.
