Care Philosophy: "Being a pediatrician is a great privilege. The most rewarding part of my job is the relationships that I have developed with families at Pediatrics Northwest. Watching kids grow up and develop over time is a gift, and I love being a small part of this process. In a complicated, sometimes frustrating medical environment, my job is to give the best care possible and advocate for my patients. I want my PNW kids and families to receive the same type of medical care and attention I expect for myself and my kids. I also believe my duties as a pediatrician extend beyond the office walls and drive me to advocate for kids through the American Academy of Pediatrics and other avenues."
