Overview
Philosophy of care | My first concern is to promote the well-being of children. I make every effort to provide the best medical care and personal attention for my patients. I enjoy partnering with parents in caring for their children | Why I entered medicine | I decided to become a doctor because I was fascinated by the study of medicine and because I wanted to help people (especially children and their parents) to be healthier and happier. More than 25 years later, I feel the same way. | Community involvement | I support The Children's Clinic and have been involved in numerous school and community programs regarding pediatric asthma and obesity. I was a founding member of the Reach Out and Read program at The Children's Clinic and continue to support that program. | Personal interests | I enjoy being outdoors - walking with my dog, hiking, and biking. I like gardening and cooking. I relax in the evening by reading whenever I have the time.

VHP Children's Clinic
Philosophy of care | I believe educating families and providing them with tools to help make appropriate decisions regarding their children’s health is my most important job. Through education families and children feel empowered, and this allows them to feel more comfortable when it comes to their health and well-being. My role as a pediatrician extends beyond treating illness, it is also to guide, support and advocate for children. | Why I entered medicine | I entered medicine because I realized early that I enjoyed working with children and serving as an advocate and mentor. I enjoy learning, especially science-based learning, and knew a medical career would allow me to be directly involved with children and have the opportunity for lifelong learning. | Community involvement | I am especially committed to serving as an advocate for vulnerable populations and underserved communities. Every child deserves access to equitable care and it is my duty to help bridge gaps in health care by advocating for families. I previously worked in immigration health and community health centers, including acute care, chronic disease management, preventive care and vaccine catch-up. | Personal interests | I love spending time with my family while outdoors, including hiking and biking. I enjoy exploring new places, both locally and internationally. Traveling is a big passion of mine. I love learning about other cultures and trying new restaurants and finding new coffee shops.
