Get to Know Me
I grew up in South Carolina and Mississippi and received my medical degree from Tulane University School of Medicine where I was admitted to the Alpha Omega Alpha medical school honor society. I’ve been a practicing pediatrician for more than 25 years and can’t imagine doing anything else.Why I Treat Children
I love working with children – their honesty, spontaneity, and sense of humor makes every day different. I believe in family-centered care. Nobody knows a child better than a parent. I encourage their participation and I make a point to listen closely to the questions and concerns of parents and children.What I'm Passionate About
I’m dedicated to providing the very highest standard of care for children and families. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and expertise with future doctors, so that they can see how rewarding, and how much fun it is to take care of kids.How I Try to Make A Difference
I believe that all children deserve the same care and quality of life no matter where they live. I am part of Hands-Up for Haiti, a medical mission organization and travel regularly to Haiti to work and teach. On several occasions, I’ve brought along medical students, giving them the opportunity to experience “pure medicine,” – that is, clinical medicine at its most basic, without technology – to help students develop their diagnostic skills.Education & Training
