My Philosophy

I love being a pediatrician!  Watching kids grow and develop into their potential is very rewarding, and I am so lucky that parents choose me to be a part of their kids' lives.  My job as a pediatrician is to help kids and parents reach that potential by optimizing wellness, avoiding problems, and screening for issues that can and should be stopped early.  I work with parents and kids on managing behavioral challenges, optimizing school readiness and performance, nutrition, and safety.  Being a parent is challenging these days.  The internet provides lots of helpful information.  Sometimes it is so much information that parents feel confused.  Let me help.  I work with parents to make parenting easier, not harder.  I believe that less is more.  I practice evidence-based medicine and follow established recommendations, but not every illness needs a test or a medication.  I believe that sometimes medication is important, but so is diet, mental health, mindfulness and relaxation, exercise, and life balance.  By taking more time, I can give each patient personalized, holistic care to help them meet their full potential.
