About

Biography

I am a board-certified anesthesiologist and completed my residency at the Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland, Ohio.

I joined the Department of Anesthesia in 2003 following my Pediatric Anesthesia Fellowship at Cincinnati Children's.

I am a staff anesthesiologist, as well as an attending physician in the Division of Pain Management, caring for patients with acute pain. In addition, I am an attending physician for StarShine Hospice, the pediatric hospice at Cincinnati Children's.

In 2006, I received my board certification from the American Board of Hospice and Palliative Medicine. I have been an integral part of the development and implementation of the Pediatric Palliative and Comfort Care Team / PACT at Cincinnati Children's.

I am the PACT consulting physician, partnering with families in order to offer a range of comprehensive, family-centered care for children with chronic, complex or life-threatening conditions.
