About
Biography
I strive to empower families through education to build a circle of care around patients, as I believe the care delivered at home for patients is the most vital to success.
I enjoy caring for patients with complex medical needs and working with patients' other subspecialists to assist with continuity and satisfaction with care. This commitment is rooted in my previous experience as a pediatrician for patients with medical complexity. I also enjoy partnering with families and caregivers to develop care plans that take the entire patient into account.
When not working, I enjoy spending time with family and our two dogs exploring the outdoors and relaxing by a lake.
