Get to Know Me
I went to college on a tennis scholarship at the University of Louisville in Kentucky. Since I knew I wanted to go to medical school, in the off-season, I worked in a hospital radiology department. I think being active is so important. I started tennis at age six. Today, I’m enjoying the chance to support my children with their sports, tennis included.Why I Treat Children
I worked with children as a tennis pro after college. By the time I started medical school, I already knew how much fun they could be. So for me, it was an easy decision to go into pediatrics. I relate to kids and enjoy them, especially their humor and their honesty. It’s great to help them get well and feel better.What I'm Passionate About
I’m passionate about preventing illness. I take time to talk to my patients and their families about things they can do that will make a difference. Preventive medicine means helping kids live healthier lives through diet and exercise and getting their vaccinations. I do a lot of counseling about the importance of vaccinations. These things are big concerns for me.How I Try to Make A Difference
My goal is to establish trusting relationships with families and children so they can be comfortable and honest with me in the exam room. I want them to be able to talk to me about anything and know that I’ll be right there with them. I really try to connect with my families — inside the office and out in the community.Education & Training
