As a pediatric anesthesiologist and pain physician, I'm passionate about helping children live fuller, more comfortable lives. My focus includes pediatric anesthesia, chronic (long-term) pain management and interventional pain techniques. I was drawn to this work for the chance to collaborate with a team of doctors, nurses and therapists. Together, we improve the quality of life for children living with complex and ongoing pain.
Chronic pain can affect every part of a child's life—from school to sleep to social activities. My goal is to provide thoughtful care that supports the whole child and their family. I work side by side with other experts to create a personal plan for each patient. We use medication, interventional procedures and other therapies when needed.
I strive to actively listen to my patients. Each child's pain story is unique, and I want families to feel heard, understood and valued throughout their care. Clear communication is especially important. I explain every recommendation, so you always know what to expect.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting outdoors and exploring local parks.
