Overview
I specialize in brain development and treat children with brain disorders. I have a particular interest in children with prenatal brain malformations, perinatal brain injury, cerebral palsy, and genetic and developmental brain disorders. It is incredibly scary for any family to be worried about their child's brain. My goal is to provide thoughtful, honest, compassionate care to guide families towards a realistic but hopeful understanding of their child's condition and available treatment options. Since I see patients at the beginning of their life's journey, my hope is that they will maximize their unique developmental potential. I aim to provide the support and resources at my disposal to help them do so.
