About
Biography
I am a clinical fellow specializing in pediatric infectious diseases. I strive to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care. My goal is to balance the best available science with the unique needs of each child and family. As a pediatric infectious disease specialist, I diagnose and treat complex infections. I aim to ensure that medications and diagnostic tests treat infections without causing harm.
I have always been curious about science, have a passion for problem-solving and a desire to make a meaningful impact. I chose pediatrics as we can fix most pediatric conditions, especially infections. As an infectious diseases doctor, my goal is to improve the life of every child I see.
I value the physician-child-patient relationship and am honored by the trust parents place in us when we care for their kids. I believe in open communication and partnering with families. I explain medical decisions so that parents feel informed and empowered in their child’s care.
My research aims to improve the sharing and availability of medical knowledge. We store a lot of important information in the electronic medical record (EMR), but accessing this information to improve patient care is challenging. I want to make it easier to use the information we collect to improve our ability to choose better medications for kids.
When I am not at work, I enjoy going for a long run or bike ride. I like to cook and try new foods, especially while traveling with my wife. I also like to fix and improve things around the house.
