Philosophy of Care
I chose pediatrics because I love the innocence and potential of children, and how parents often take better care of their children then they do of themselves. I strive to form a partnership with my families to reach our common goal of healthy, happy children. I particularly encourage those families who wish to raise their children in multi-lingual environments. I think the best care for children involves open and honest communication between all caregivers, including family, medical providers, and school/day-care.
