I believe great care starts with getting to know a child for the unique person they are. I strive to make visits comfortable and relaxed (and even fun!) and to follow my patient’s lead.

As a neurologist trained in palliative care, I have a special interest in helping to care for kids with serious and complex neurologic illness.
I promise to walk with you at every step and to work together to meet your goals and your child’s individual needs.
