Get to Know Me
I come from a family of television people and I even worked in that industry before deciding on a career with more tangible benefits. To me, it’s gratifying to be able to make life better for children, simply with a surgical procedure. I have the best job in the world! I get to make healthy kids healthier and happier, and nothing could be more rewarding.
Why I Treat Children
I’ve always been comfortable with kids and have enjoyed working with them in various capacities – as a teacher, lifeguard, swim instructor, and now as a pediatric surgeon. They’re honest, straightforward, and fun.
What I'm Passionate About
I’m a passionate advocate for the philosophy behind Nemours: We provide medical care for children without concern about reimbursement. I can care for every child as I would care for my own children, no matter who is paying the bill – that’s how it should be for all children.
What I Do For Fun
I’m the father of three young kids, and spend most of my time outside work playing with them, guiding them and watching them grow into happy healthy adults.
