Biography

My career goal is to help children with congenital conditions that affect the urinary tract to achieve the best possible outcomes. This can mean different things to different families and I take pride in listening to each individual family’s concerns while formulating a treatment plan. My main goals are to preserve kidney function, work towards urinary control and provide opportunities to become independent for their chronic condition.

Cincinnati Children’s is uniquely poised to be a global leader in the field of urology given its national and international prominence along with the wealth of institutional resources available. I am proud to work with excellent clinical colleagues who share the same mission of delivering high-quality urologic care to the children we serve. I am committed to actively researching our outcomes during this process in order to improve them.
