I’ve always been drawn to care for children. I love how up-front they are, and how honest. They just want to get back to being kids. I also understand that I’m treating not only the child — I’m really caring for each child’s family and caregivers as well.
What I'm Passionate About
I’m passionate about improving the quality of life of children, solving difficult clinical problems, and helping to build collaborative teamwork. I find human anatomy extremely interesting — it’s why I was drawn to surgery. And, specific to to my specialization in colorectal surgery, I really love to share my expertise with the pediatric population and help improve the health of kids.
Make A Difference
One basic way I try to make a difference each day is to treat each child I see as I would want my own child to be treated.
