I grew up in Erie, PA, and was a quiet kid, although I still managed to get into trouble because of my curiosity. Today, I view curiosity as an asset – it helps me be a better doctor. I knew in grade school I wanted to be a doctor. My own pediatrician was an inspiration. He looked out for me and my siblings growing up and that appealed to me.
Why I Treat Children
Kids are fun. They appeal to the lightheartedness in me and are such an inspiration because they truly want to get better. Kids are honest and motivated.
What I'm Passionate About
I feel strongly about access to affordable, quality healthcare for everyone.
Make A Difference
I try to get to know each patient – let them tell their side of the story. Everyone has a story to tell and who am I to judge or have preconceived notions.
What I Do For Fun
I love to travel and enjoy running. One day, I’d like to complete an Ironman triathlon.
